Tires, NO not the dreaded tire thread!

 Sticker shock!

I guess I should find one before the threads start showing.  So.

Anyone know of a reputable place to order a Metzeler 880 Marathon
130/90 16 from?  Preferably one that has a low price!

Go to your local Indy
Pay retail for the tire and get it mounted free?

*****************

Buy a cheap tire somewhere
+ pay UPS non-standard/large package shipping fee
+ Pay the indy to mount it
Spend more than the first scenario

888888888888888

Buy a cheap tire somwhere
+ pay UPS shipping
+ pay doctor for stitches after running screwdriver through hand in
mounting attempt
+ pay powder coater to cover scratches left in rim from mounting attempt
+ pay indy shop to mount tire so new powder doesn't get scratched.
Priceless!

Use scenario #1 and have enough $ left to buy me a beverage for the
great advice.....<sfsf>

  Or do what I do . Buy the cheap tire , mount it yourself on your Harbor
Freight Tire Changer with Motorcycle Wheel Attachment .
  To answer your question , Dan'l , I've been buying from Southwest Mototire
, IIRC . Excellent prices last time I bought - but that was over a year ago
, that might have changed .
