    I'm tired...

    So, as some will know, I finally got my 83 750E running. Now time to replace the 10 Year old Avon tires. I went through the
    Search and pretty much figured out what kind I'm going to get. Right now I'm seriously considering the Pirelli Sport Demons.
    My question is, who has the best deals on tires ? Remember, I'm a cheap bastard

      Ditto that. (On my 11E).

        Then if you truly are a cheap bastard, you will be hard pressed to find a better quality tire than the Shinkos. Best tire for the money although you won't get as much mileage from them.

        They handle well in wet or dry conditions but living in California, you may wear out a set within 12 months.

        Most of us who use them enjoy the good feeling of fitting new ones once a season, albeit our season is quite a bit shorter than yours on the left coast.

          You can get your tires from American Moto tire or Rocky Mountain ATV. Check them out online.

          The 230 model is a favorite of a lot of us and also the 712 model works well.

            +1 on the Sport Demons...our sources north of the border are not going to be a great option for you right now, but Motorcycle Superstore (now JP Cycles) used to be my goto for the best deals when I was buying tires on a more regular basis.

              American Moto Tire or Rocky Mountain ATV always seem to have the best delivered prices.
