They are comparable with the Pilot Powers as far as turn in feel is concerned. I use to run them but I would only get about 3K miles on them from my Vtwin. They are more for the street then track.

i found a place near my house that will mount and balance and install the tires on my bike for $113.00 so thats 169.99 for the tires, 113.00 in labor = $289.99 for 2 new tires mounted, balanced and installed,pretty good deal huh?

Action Kawasaki in Bradenton will do it for $70. I know you don't live near here but maybe could find a better deal.

the dude says 113 because I bought the tires somwhere else, I dont have a problem with anyone making a little profit. He did have a brand of tire there in his shop called AVON, he quoted me a price for 2 including mounting balancing install for 379.12 this price also included a free road hazard warranty, this is for replacement not repair, I thought this was a pretty good deal too, do you think its worth spending a little more going this route? I did a little research on AVON, they looked pretty decent, made in Britain .

holly rapped. 113 dollars to mount them. you know that if you bring cycle gear your rims(even with the old tires on them) they will take your old tires and mount and balance your new tires for about 25 dollars a piece right. just make sure the rims are clean. for some reason they get a bit bent out of shape if they are all dirty.

mount , balance and install, I know cycle gear can mount them for 25, but the thing is I dont have a bike stand, I guess I could buy one for 80 bucks, I need one sooner or later, but right now I dont feel like messing with it

Yes when I started this post I got the weekend wrong I think I corrected it a few posts down, I was ready for the tire deal But I needed a tire for this past weekend. I ended up just getting a rear tire, went with a pilot power, feels very good so far
