Default tires?????

Where is a good place online to buy Dunlop Elite tires? Looking for a rear tire for my 13 street glide. Yes I done a search and had no luck. Any vendors on here that give discounts to forum members.

the other parts is figure out mounting and balance costs.

some shops won't mount tires they didn't sell.

also ensure that tires sold online have a recent DOT date code and are not "seconds".

call around, some towns have indy tire shops which are competitive...( PHX has Mototire on cave creek and The Wheel Shop on macdowell) that's who I usually use

however my last rear was a few dollars cheaper at a dealer who was running a promotion.

pick up the phone.

don't forget to replace wheel bearings when you replace tires :-)

I recently bought tires from Dennis Kirk.Very pleased with how quick they were shipped(same day),and delivered(next day).I searched all over the web and Dennis Kirk was the cheapest I could find.With the volume they sell I figure the tires will be "fresh".
Don't know what you ride but for the pair of Dunlop American Elites wide white wall cost $336.00,for my Road king classic.

I finally found a tire dealer that mounts my tires for 20$, use Ride gel to balance..found Jake Wilson to be the cheapest on my last purchase...but always check 3-4 sites. Like Mike said...the trick is finding a tire dealer willing to mount them or an indy shop..

Cheapest tires I have found are from American Motorcycle Tire in Arizona. Free shipping and very fast delivery.
