While purchasing some tires for my truck a few weeks ago,the Costco tire guy told me the prices were going up.
So I guess it's just not MC tires.

That figures. Why does the price go up even though oil prices have remained pretty steady? I guess they have to keep the shareholders happy!

Well, you're foolish if you buy oil and tires from HD. It's pretty much just a label, not quality.There's much better deals out there. An indy is the way to go for tire installs.

The dealer will be glad to take your hard earned money...all of it! I'd be glad to give them some if their prices weren't insane! Most of their tires are junk anyway IMHO.

As raw material prices used to manufacture tires continue to fluctuate, Harley Davidson Genuine Motor Parts is increasing prices on select tires effective July 27, 2010.
Amsoil will be showing a price increase, also. Oil fluctuation. They will all raise the price a bit. Youll get longer intervals from the good oil.
