I always shop four or five sites. I've found Dennis Kirk to be the cheapest most often. They will beat any ones price buy a buck on a comparable product.

Since I mount and balance my own, I prefer to buy online. I have used Dennis Kirk without a problem but have switched to American Motorcycle Tire because they have good prices and a ready supply.

Try Latus H-D or Zanotti H-D. If you use Zanotti, order a bunch of stuff to drive DOWN the shipping cost.

I've bought a set and a rear tire from American Moto Tire .com but when pricing a Dunlop E3 recently found Dennis Kirk to be best price wise. I do like American Moto Tire . com though. they claim they have a big supply of tires and hence you won't have an old tire when you buy.

Thumbs up On line tire purchases

I bought a tire on line from J&P Cycles and found their service and delivery to be great!
I would recommend them to everyone.

I've bought from Ron Ayers and motorcycleproshop.com. Satisfied with everything I bought with regard to tires. Q- Where do you get weights for laced wheels? I've only found a few places and they were pricey. Stick-ons for mags are everywhere.

www.jakewilson.com beat Dennis Kirk on my E3's. Look for the promotion code (I googled for mine) for extra money off. Less than $200 shipped to my door. No cons on-line at all.
