every now and again, my local hd shop will run a special for free labor if you buy the tire from them. so that runs around 150. but if you need a tire replaced, and they aren't running that special, then you gotta do what you gotta do.
I just would have paid about 10$ more than you for the tire deal except I got to minus$100 from total bill with the IDS & "Elbow Grease"done at the same time. Seems about average.
Sounds normal.
Found an indy shop that will install a Michelin Commander for $150-rear and $145-front mounted and balanced). I'll be leaning toward that. Too bad Michelins aren't avail. in white wall (so I'm told) but maybe that's a good thing as keeping the white clean can be a pita.
Glad I ride mostly in centeralTexas. Couldn`t or wouldn`t stand those prices. For several years the H-Ddealer I trade with mounts tire for free if ya buy it there. Usually $150.00-$165.00 OTD.
HD oughta be doin' tire mounts free...or at least a minimal charge, since we all usually buy at the stealer anyway....80 bucks a wheel is BS! (And chances are, it ain't no MMI grad doing those tire mounts...prolly a ****/washbay boy or Jeep trainee!)
