I buy mine from www.motorcyclesuperstore.com
If you can mount and balance your own it will save you a ton of cash in your lifetime. I know some will scold me for it but im gonna go ahead and recommend the Harbor Freight motorcycle tire changer...........I share one with a coworker and for under $100 it works great. We have changed dozens of sets of tires with it. We also bought a balancer for about $100.
I just switched from 402s to Elite 3s and fell in love with them. A huge step up from the Dunlop 402s. I got them on sale for $100 a piece.

Try the ME88- Metzlers. I have heard from many they make the bike handle much better and are LONG lasting. I like the handle better part. Good Luck in your search

That sounds like a good idea to buy the tire changer and d.i.y. I know a guy that payed around 600 bucks at the dealer for two tires. Thats way too much. I am wondering if Discount tire could balance them the dynamic balancer is way better then the regular static weight balance.
