where for tires?

Should I go to the dealer or is there a better alternative for tires? My tires are over 10K and needs replacement. I am not sure if I should go with the same tires or are there better choices then DUNLOP'S? Thanks for any advice.

I run stock Dunlops on mine. Get them from American Motorcycle Tire. I take the tire off have an independent mount and balance the new tire, and then I put it back on. Saves about 75.00 per tire.

Regards,

Bill

Bill,
Do the tubes need to be replaced as well? I have spoke rims so I presume I have tubes, even thought the tires say tubless??

I always replace the tubes, as one usually gets torn while taking them out anyway, plus they wear inside the tire, just like the tire wears.

Most HD shops will not replace a used tube in a tire when they do the change.
