This is for the project bike, which is soon to be finished and needs some new rubber.

Other than joe stealership down the road, where's a good place to get tires at a good price?

I used to go through tiresunlimited.com, until I found ronayers.com has better prices, even after shipping. Never had a bar experience through tiresunlimited and my one experience with Ron Ayers for tires was just fine.

See how much it costs to get your tires mounted and balanced, then see if a local shop will match online prices. Usually shops charge more to mount tires you bring in than you buy right there, so don't forget that in calculating costs.

I just bought tires through southwest moto tires, with shipping they were the cheapest I found.
