Rocker Tire question

Whats it going to cost me to put new tires on? Taking it to the dealer in the morning. I'm leaving spur of the moment Friday morning and doing 400 miles one way. I'm not using a indy and I don't have time to shop, nor do I have the time to dismount the wheels myself or I would. 10,400 something miles on the tires, I think I got my money's worth out of them. I'm going back with the tires that come on them. Thanks in advance.

how did you get that many miles out of the rear tire on your rocker?

Here in the Smokies your always on a twisty. I'm on the outside edge of the tires more than the middle. If I hadn't road to to Sturgis on all the flat land last august, could have gone a little further.

Greetings,

I'll bet a good estimate would be around $600 at a dealer for both of them installed. Around here dealer prices have skyrocketed on tire changes for some reason.

I am going to be in Smokies next week. My son and I are riding down there from Minnesota. Have heard there are some beautiful areas to ride.
