Default New Tires

In case anybody is interested I was shopping for tires and on Amazon I found the Michelin Commander II really cheap..for front tire of 130/90 R16 it is $123 and for rear of the same size it was $129..that's around $50 off the front and $76 off the rear compared to retail..my dealer wanted $235 for the rear tire alone

I have in the past primarily used Dennis Kirk or Jake Wilson but recently started searching the internet by my tire size and was surprised to find better deals on Amazon and even eBay.

Is it actually Amazon that fulfills the order, or another vendor? A lot of my parts I ordered on Amazon, were fulfilled by Powersports Super Store. Sometimes their website is actually cheaper than their Amazon store prices. I've also gotten good prices on tires through Motosport.com. The Avons for my Softail were quite a bit less through them. They sometimes run package deals on the front and rear together.

Around here, they jack you on the mount / balance price if you don't buy the tires there.

I was hoping that Metzeler and Michelin would have come out with a 130 front, or a lower profile 140 front tire by now. I checked amazon, and added a few tires to my wish list.
