    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

      Tires Unlimited is fast and cheaper. They're located in Ohio, with a massive warehouse, so they're more likely to have what you need and get it to you quickly if you're in the middle or Eastern end of the country.

      http://www.swmototires.com/ is probably cheapest of all and offers free shipping, but they are located in Arizona -- three or four days via UPS if you're in the Midwest or East Coast. Excellent service and communication.

        These guys are good. I ordered on Sunday and got them on Tuesday. I even sent them an email on Sunday (because I ordered the wrong set) and they contacted me that same day and said "no problem, already fixed."

            Another good source for tires. I've ordered from them several times and have nothing but good to say about them.
            The motorcycle tire is the crucial outer component of the motorcycle wheel, directly connected to the rim. It delivers essential traction, durability against wear, absorption of surface irregularities, and enables the motorcycle to turn through countersteering. The contact patches of the two tires s

              Tires Unlimited did me right. Even though I'm out in California, I had a set of Michelins at a good price delivered in two days!

                  American Motorcycle Tire

                  I had a great experience with these guys. I hunted for tires a year and half ago, lots of research, decided on a specific brand and model. After 10k I needed tires again, trusting my previous interrogation and not wanting to repeat the research, I looked for the same tire. I was, looking for best price, tires and shipping all totaled. Some vendors give good tire price but are tough on shipping, some vendors give good shipping price (free) but high on the tires.
                  Found http://www.americanmototire.com/ added up my purchase, happy with the total, and I ordered.

                  Soon after, same day, I received an out of stock e-mail from American Motorcycle Tire. I had no reason to doubt their message as other vendors had noted “to call on availability” for the rear tire model and size I selected. BUT, the email wasn’t an automated response. It was an email from an actual person explaining the out of stock situation, and when they expected to receive the tires I ordered. AND, they offered to cancel the order, AND, they offered to recommend a comparable or better tire based on my riding profile, OR back order and charge my credit card and complete the order once the tire I originally ordered was in stock.
                  I gave them a description of what, how, when, weights, speed etc of how I ride. They responded with an alternative tire, or, the option to cancel, or the option to backorder the original order.
                  I checked out the tire they recommended, was very pleased with the spec, and ordered their suggested alternative tire based on the new research and their recommendation. This all happened in one afternoon.
                  I am very pleased with the price, the effort of their staff, and the personal attention that was afforded to me. Great Value!! I have (3) more bikes, and when they need tires, American Motorcycle Tire is the first place I will look.
