Motorcycle tires

anyone know of some places that have decent prices? I need a new rear tire on my Yamaha V-Star. Right now the lowest I've found is $114 w/o shipping. 170-80/15

Cruisercustomizing.com has good prices but their sales end tomorrow. Dennis Kirk had decent prices (i think, their site wasnt working), tiresunlimited.com

i was hoping to find somewhere local that sold them - most places give free shipping over $100, but not all

were you looking for a specific brand/style? or just any plain tire that will fit?

u try dupage honda yamaha to see if they have anything in stock?...also see if they will price match or at least come close to the price...


*edit...
actually having this talk on on of the bike forums...we all agree that the dealers will screw u over by a HUGE markup as bike tires are much smaller then car tires and can easily shelve them without issues of space...find the best deal u can on the web and get it...

who swaps out your tires?
