Hey all. I really need new tires and want to know where to get them. I asked a couple of shops and they said installation is $40 to install if i get it from them and $80 if not. i'm wondering what shop to go to because i dont really want to order them online and ride to jim pidgeon in manchester, nh. i'm looking for feedback from positive experiences with local shops in the boston area. thanks alot!!
ps... besides michelin pilots, where other tires are decent bang for the buck as i'm still a newbie rider.
UPDATE:
just an update if anyone cared. I ended up going to South Shore Motorsports in Quincy, MA. I settled on some dunlops because i got a pretty good deal (20% off) and they were the only things i could get in my size. (110/70/17 & 140/60/18)
anyways. i spoke with Ron in the service dept about installation. He quoted me "$35/wheel off the bike. $65 on the bike. BUT it's like $40 if you didnt buy from them, and i think it was $70 on bike if you didnt buy from them. " this is much better than the "$150 to mount and balance on the bike from Cycles 128 in Beverly."
