...just my little being a ***** rant for the day...

2 back tires and 1 front tire in a year equals about $1200...

Yeah...I made the decision to buy a '12 RKC and yep I like the look of the WWW, don't really want to go to blackwalls or the thin WW..but geez...that is a lot of damn money to spend on tires each year...

Wondering when a WWW will be available anyplace other the HD!

OK..back to work..

 

Who told you they weren't available anywhere else? That's not true!!!

This is just ONE store!

 

you should be able to ge them through anyplace that sells mc tires. like JP or parts unlimited etc. how are you going threw 2 rear tires a yr? either lots of miles or to many burnouts. lol

 

I just got a dunlop rear and a metz front, both www in mt90-16,for $306shipped from jakewilson.com

 

At a average of $400/tire change you may want to learn how to DIY or find a non HD shop to do your changes and buy the tires on-line. Also it is likely the RKC tires can be changed on many automobile tire changing machine if you remove the rotors. Check around .... Cheers

 

how many miles is that tacking on these tires? if you dont want to replace the tires leave it parked and they last forever. LMAO i can feel your pain i had to get my 1st 2 rears at the dealer and was sore for weeks. there are ton of options out there now. not sure of price for WWW but my last rear mich was $240 installed

 

I got tired of the price of them too.. is harder yet to find one for the smaller ones.. the MT90B-16..
I went with a Shinko WWW.. $85 shipped and I changed it myself.. I can handle doing one a yr at that price..

 

at 400 bucks a tire you're being robbed, not to mentioned lied to (if you were told that only HD dealers had the WWW)

DAYUM! $400.00 a tire??!!!

 

Just bought a front for the wife's trike, and a back and a front for my Limited from Tire Express for 419.00 with free shipping. Took less than a week to get them. Michelin Commander II's.

American Motorcycle Tire in Az. has the same kind of deals.

The problem is the Wide White Wall for the Road King Classic. I checked with a couple Indy shops the last time I had a rear replaced and Dunlop (or anyone else) didn't make a Wide White Wall that they could get, only one was made for HD.

I did 17,000 miles last year.

Tire ran about $250 - $275 then 1.0 or 1.25 hours labor to install. Labor rate in Dallas varies from $90-$125. Add tax and such and you are right at $400 or more.
