7,300 miles, worn and cupped tires (always have had correct pressure).
The dealer will replace with the Dunlaps that came originally from factory. Price is a little steep - $216 rear, $200 front - but the killer is $150 labor to do the mounting! $566 each time I ride 7K miles??!!
Now, it's been a while since I bought bike tires (OK, 1974) but isn't this way too much for a pair of tires??
The guy down the street with a small shop that just sells bike tires will sell me Dunlap Elites, $172 rear, $143 front and a more reasonable $65 labor to mount and balance.
Questions:
Are the Dunlap Elites as good as the factory originals?
Should I stick with the dealer to ensure that the wheels are properly reinstalled?
Are there better tires for this bike? Avon Cobras??
