    Where do you buy tires? (GS500F)

    I need a rear tire for a GS500F. Rosey Toes is charging 250 for tire and installation; though I love their service and prices, I've been told by MANY other riders that it is better to order tires online due to the huge price differences. Does anyone have recommendations besides EBay/Craigslist/Kijiji.

    probably another site, most people get their tires the next day

    $70-ish if I remember correctly (Rosey Toes). Or you can ask a local forum member to do it (kneedragger88, reciprocity, etc - just do the forum search).

    Bah, may as well buy from Rosey Toes then, only end up saving around $20 after gas (car transportation, god damn cars!)

    Petes Superbike is the cheapest around for tires ... As for install, pete can and will ship them to Daniel at Heritage Powersports. He does all of Petes tire installs ..
