anybody got any sites they order the Michelin Pilot Powers from? Talked to my local Buell dealer and they said a front would cost $188 and a rear would cost $242. I thought that seemed really expensive and I know there are alot cheaper sites that sell those tires but wondering what you guys thought. I want this tire from a reliable site and that you guys have had a good experience with! Thanks oh and i want the stock front tire size(120?) and a 180 on the back!

If I had got those prices, I would have bought them from the dealer in a heartbeat.

But that's here in Canada.

Check kneedraggers.com and see what the shipping would add to your costs.

I just bought from these guys on Ebay. Same deal.... they had it to my door in a week. I looked and looked. This is the best deal out there.

I checked out 58cycle. Same price as the ebay deal but they hit ya on the shipping because the tires are discounted. I know they say shipping free with any order over 199 but not on discounted tires.

I had very good service through www.derbycycles.com . Fast shipping and one of the cheapest places I could find the Pilot Power 2CT tires.

Looks like the regular Pilot Powers are
111.99 - front
138.99 - rear

Doesn't seem too bad of a price.

great thanks for all the responses guys! My only worry was buying from a place that didn't wrap the tire well for shipping or wrapped it too tight and then it would warp the tire. I know some people who have had this experience.

Derbycycles packaged both tires in a box when I bought a pair. They arrived in perfect condition. Shipping was less than $30. That was from KY to PA.

has anyone rode a lightning with a 190 rear tire? I'm guessing it.ll be noticeably different in corners and wheelies but how much of a difference?
