Need new rear tire

I wonder what shipping is like though, because these are on special at GP for $180.

It's only like 20$ to ship.
Think about how much it costs in time and gas to go to GPbikes.
I'd rather wake up and collect my tire off the front step in my underwear.
 
If i remember to put some on that is. :munky2:

I say +1 to the PR2's that's what I went with. But have heard great things about the B023 as well. Bluestreak has it for 140 with free shipping http://www.bluestreakracing.ca/en/b...ycle_Tires/bridgestone_bt023_tires/index.html

vs. $169 for the PR2 rear.

I hear great things about bluestreak, I needed a tire ASAP so I didn't order from them and paid through the nose at my local dealer instead. LOL... In any case they seem to be cheaper than pete's when you factor in shipping. (or you can drive your wheel down to Embro and get it installed for free - off bike).
 
No prob, I wasn't sure which school of thought you were on this subject...now I know.

Offer still open to whoever is interested;)

if you donate the tire to me, i promise to make a HD video of an awesome burnout :)
 
Bluestreak has done well by me for tires over the past few yrs. Of course I like to take advantage of the free install if I bring my wheels there, instead of the free shipping. It's less than 45 min drive each way for me though.

Also, if doing a burnout is part of the plan, you could take a ride to Platinum Powersports. It's a couple hrs away, but, as is their standard policy, if you do a burnout there against their "burnout wall", they video it, and then install your tires free. I am sure DOnald would do a good price on an 023 for you as well.
 
Yup go see Dave I was there Saturday and he has a crapload in likely every pricepoint. Good guy with a good shop that deserves the business.
 
I'd be shocked if you could over ride a modern sport touring tire on the street around here. Getting a sticky tire, like some have suggested, is a massive waste of money.
 
Your rear tire still has 1-2000km left. .

Agreed

+1 here too. Not to mention he probably just started riding
 
Nice pricing their for sure at Bluestreak, considering free shipping. I would drive, but it would cost $30 in gas.

Can't beat Pete's, anytime. That is all. :book:

I just put a set of BT-003 RS's from Dave (Recidivist) and he charged me $280+T for the set.
Pete's would of been $305+T+shipping...

Think he just got beat! ;)
 
Nice, now your ready for next season ;)
Next season!?... psshhh... My season hasn't ended yet. :)

BTW... Dave's shop is literally a 15 minute ride, on and off the highway, very knowledgeable guy and he helped me adjust a couple of things that he didn't charge me for. Great guy!
