As usual, I'm turning to my BW buds for sage advice... I need a rear tire, Bridgestone Battlax T30R ideally, 180/55- ZR17. Before I go searching myself, figured I'd post up here. Anyone who's got a good recommendation for price and service, holla here! Thanks in advance! |

I bought tires from Amazon and they shipped from Motorcycle Superstore. Good price and selection. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/10992329/d/br idgestone-motorcycle-rear-tires?N=4294963543+42949 63720+4294963721&source=tire-picker |

I like both of these places: www.rockymountainatvmc.com http://www.revzilla.com/adv-sport-touring-gear Rocky Mtn. ATV has great prices if they carry a brand you are interested in.

denniskirk.com or www.americanmototire.com. Honestly, I usually have motorcycle superstore price match one of these and earn points at MC superstore |

Thanks already! Just got done paying bills, still got some moolah to get a new rear for the Sprint- need to price out tires and tubes for the old Beemer too. Think I'll go with Metzelers or Avons for it... Keep the suggestions coming- I'll try to get that rear tire for the Triumph ASAP. Gonna be my main commuter to my new job! Yeehaaa!!! |

Revzilla's got it for $136.13 shipped, so far the best $$$. I still want to check with my buds here in town that run an independent shop- it's one thing to get the absolute lowest price, but another to support folks running a biz with SUPERIOR customer service and peerless knowledge... plus, there's a decent swap meet up in Knoxvegas Sunday, might go see if I can get lucky. I'll pull the trigger on something Monday AM. |

You willing to pay hazmat shipping and do the installation or pay extra to have mounted? Can you mount yourself? If you can take a wheel in and buy the rubber, Cycle Gear is not too bad. |

It all depends what brand you're looking for. For me, it used to be Motorcycle Superstore, before that I forget. But as of late, NOTHING beats Jake Wilson dot com for me... 1313 |

I always have the best luck at Motorcycle Superstore. Takes a day or two longer for me since they are west coast, but they price match and have free shipping. |

I buy and mount at my local shop. Minor $ difference...helps local vendors...builds rapport if I need emergency help sometime. |

86129squids, Funny that...I just ordered a Shinko 705 for the rear of my KLR and Rocky Mtn. ATV had the best pricing. Even beat Americanmototire. |

Chaparral is 10 minutes away from me, but then I pay sales tax and CA environmental fees. They will price match though if you can point them to a competitor's web page. I buy from Jake Wilson now. Fresh tires, excellent c/s, prices are lowest if not close. The T30-GT's I just bought had a $50 Bridgestone rebate and JW even processed it for me. |
