Ok, so I don't post in this section much these days, but its time for tires. I'll probably stick with Metzler ME 880 or 888's. Where is the best place these days for price and selection? This is a 2008 FLHX if that makes a difference. Thanks!

 

Jake Wilson is the last place I used that had the best price... If you like the 880's give Dunlop American Elites a shot.

 

I usually just type the tire I am looking for in the search tab and browse. I have a ton of online stores I have bought from but often times find a good deal on Amazon. At that I can have it shipped right to my Indy which is a bonus.

As far as choice you will get better mileage out of the trip 8's as opposed to the 880 and as mentioned the American Elite is a sweet tire. That's a whole other thread.

 

before you order find out where you can get mounted and balanced and how much? some shops won;t mount tires they don;t sell or they charge too much.

also check the DOT code- a tire has a 6 year life- no good if they sell you a 2 year old tire



luckily PHX has a couple of indys who price aggressively (wheel shop and mototire), and that keeps prices lower at the dealer as well.

my last dunlop on the 09 was $174 OTD

Indys or even a metric dealer often have good prices. They say support your local dealers or they wont be around.

 

jake wilson.....

 

Jake Wilson has good prices plus no tax and free shipping. The import dealers around here are quicker and cheaper to install. I always take the wheels off

Best pricing I've found the last few times I've bought tires.

 

I've found some good deals at Motorcycle Superstore 👍
