Default Guess how much

I pulled my rear wheel off my bike and brought it to the dealer for a new tire, stem, and balance.

It is a D407T .

I went and picked it up a few hours later.

What would you expect to have paid?

I'll bite, $375, but didn't you ask before you left the dealership? if you had it would have not been a surprise.

From the list of goody's you've added to your bike the price of a tire can't be all that
much more to bare. I just replaced my rear on a 15rk wide white wall, $409 , next
time i'm gonna do it myself and get the american elites. I got 11,000 out of the dunlop that was on it brand new.

my last go around on a rear for the 09 got me 2 indys at about $180 for the dunlop american elite BW

PHX has 2 indy's who help keep our tires prices down ( wheel shop on mcdowell and mototire on cave creek)



I stopped in at a dealer for a warranty claim and asked for a price since I was there- figured I'd get a laugh.

they came back at $172

I just bought an American Elite from Dennis Kirk for $212 shipped. Local cycle repair shop mounted and balanced, new stem $50 I bought and installed a new set of bearings for $30. total $292. Let's not talk about the Jims wheel bearing installer/remover I bought too. Worked like a charm, worth every penny, but cost a wheelbarrow full.

So how much did you pay?

Shouldn't be crazy if you brought the rim in. Price of the tire plus mounting. Some dealers offer specials if you're buying the tire from them.
