I won!!
I purchased a crossbones this time last year and got the "free tires for life" deal...today I pulled into the dealership.. 3/32" of tread left on my tire and got my new free rear tire installed. I had to pay 60 labor and 30 for a tube... But that's far better than paying the cost of 249 for a new rear!!!

Since when are Dunlops bad tires? They're a big name in NASCAR and Formula 1
Tires for life is a great deal! Every little bit helps and free tires may encourage changing them when it's needed, instead of waiting a little bit too long and cause safety issues.

that checks with my dealer. 170 for a Dunlop, 20 for a tube, 60 for labor. my indie charges the same to mount a rear tire and bitches about mounting Metzlers-says they a hard to get on the rim. I would probably bite on a "free" tires for life. I run through 3 rear tires a year and count them as my biggest maintenance expense.

That is a pretty darn good deal actually. I go through a rear tire a year which is not bad considering what most people go through (and no, my bike doesn't spend all year in the garage. I commute 164 miles a day). In order to make the cost low, I remove the rear wheel myself and take it to the dealer with a new tire (Dunlops which get me 12k a tire so call them bad quality if you want but I'm not the one changing my tires out three times a year) tube and rim band that I buy online at a discount. Then they mount the tire for me for $45 plus wheel weights and I install it back on the bike. With the discounted cost of the tire ($135 versus $200 retail) I still end up spending over $200 for a rear tire change.
Let me ask you this, is that a deal you can only use at that dealership? Somehow I doubt it's nation wide?
