The tires on my '01 R6 are just about as bald as they can get, so I ordered some Pilot Powers and they should arrive anyday, however, I have no idea where to take them too to have them mounted, yet alone what the cost would be.

Power sports, RTM, cycle gear any bike shop can do them. What did you pay for them online?

 

RTM on florida ave

 

Cycle Gear.

 

I'll change them for $40.

 

I paid $230 for both the front and back tire. What do cycle gear, etc charge to install these? 'Cause 40 bucks is sounding pretty sweet right about now.

 

id take it to RTM on north florida.

 

Ok, just called around to the places you guys mentioned and it went as follows:

Pretty much all of them (cycle gear, ktm, etc) wanted at least 75 bucks to do it. Some even said that they would only do it if I already had the rims off the bike. I even called barneys and they wanted 55 bucks per tire to mount. Fuck that.

954RR do you have a shop or do you just know how to do it from your home?

 

Why not just do them yourself? Its not hard to do. Id never give someone $75+ just to change the tires.... thats nuts.

 

I have been changing my tires, my brothers tires, and even my buddies tires for the past 2-3 years or so. It's not too bad once you do it a few times. I even bought some rim savers recently so I don't scratch my rims anymore.

One thing I have to say is that I do not balance them. I've never had even the slightest issue in the past ~20 sets of tires I have changed and that includes everything from top-end runs to track days. My buddy just did a trackday on a set I put on for him and he didn't notice a thing.
