Holy Tire Prices Batman!

Pirelli Diablos for the SV.... 270 installed incl taxes....


YIKES!  Better lay off the starbucks in the morning... I'm runnin shy on cash again!

Hmmm, might be able to get it cheaper if you look around.  I bought the rear tire alone at Del Amo for $100.  Cycle Gear mounts the tires off the bike pretty cheap, have great prices, and offer Hazard Maintenance if you get a nail or something.  Find someone with stands and take the wheels in.  Might save $40-50??

These are very nice tires (compared to the non-radial BT-45's we used to run!).

Get 'er done!!

Well for my nike being only 4 months old hope i dont have to get tires for a while.

Ray.... cool.


Ian, I called a couple places and came up with the same.   Didnt call cycle gear because I don't have my rear stand delivered yet, and i dont have a front.... Although in the future it sounds like a better alternative.

But the place I'm going to I've been before.  Its 5 more than Hawkster's place, but 40 miles closer

Where are you getting it done?

[JC]

A place called cycle products west in santa monica.

JC, hope it's not too late but...

The M1 sportecs are the same compound and belt construction as the Diablo's.  Literally they were a joint development.  The Diablo's have a better tread pattern and have more wet traction.

If you can live without the extra wet traction in SoCal, the M1's are about $50 cheaper a set than the Diablo's.

Doh!   That's good information... the tired have already been ordered and will be put on tomorrow.   But that is excellent information to know for the future thanks O

Were you complaining about $270? I have paid $410 before.

A set of Pirelli MT75's for the ninja250 - $100 total
Installation - many hours and lots of sweat and swears

See, a ninja250 is much more economical, you should switch
