They charge $55 just to mount and balance (and you have to dispose of your old tires yourself). That’s per tire. Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 16, 2019, at 9:28 PM, Holger Selover-Stephan > wrote: > >> On Sep 16, 2019, at 6:26 PM, Jenya Spektor wrote: >> >> Thanks as always - now when it is

Your first option is what I just put on a CB650SC this morning. Took me about an hour or so to take the old tires off and mount the new ones and that’s with sticking the new valve in the wrong way and 5 minutes contemplating which way the tires go on. Even with the arrow on the tire telling me I

I'm an economical guy & not an aggressive rider.  I've used the Shinko & Kenda in the past with no issues.  Looking at the ratings Kenda would be the better choice of the two. Bernie -Original Message- From: Jenya Spektor To: Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! Sent: Tue, Sep 17, 2019
