Guest 90RedVFR750 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I just ordered a new rear tire from dennis kirk. I ordered a rear avon storm st 170/60/17 for 129.99 and 5.00 for shipping and it came in 2 days. I have to get it mounted monday and I plan on ordering the front this week. I like the feel of the rubber compared to the michelins I have now. Once I have some ride time I'll give you my opinion on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I ordered a set for my VF750F, it does feel good. I'm going to order a set for my VTEC right now, because 140 miles into a 160 mile ride today, I happened to look a the Diablo on there and it was showing cords! :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Vecky5 Posted April 21, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted April 21, 2008 I ordered my Storms a few weeks ago from MotoXOutlet. $244 shipped to my door. It's the cheapest I could find. It took around 8 days to get though. SW moto tires was shut down back when I ordered due to some family emergency.

SEBSPEED Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Mine were $248.98 shipped from DennisKirk.com. They'll be here in 3-4 days in a box(as opposed to open and just strapped together like some places ship). Wish I had shopped a little more, DK beats any price on any item over $100 by $1. There is a charge(new this year) of $5 per tire for shipping. Any other order over $100 ships for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Chev Posted April 21, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted April 21, 2008 I have ordered a couple of sets from motoxoutlet both times they were the cheapest around. I'll be ordering more. I really love those tires. :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I got my tire mounted up today by my local cruiser shop guy. His shop is on the same lane as my work. He only charged my $10 to mount but he couldn't balance it. Can the honda dealer balance my tire. I would hope so...and how important is balancing. Also is it necessary to use a torque wrench to mount the wheel back up or can I use my breaker bar. I know torque wrenches aren't cheap. Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure how important is balancing the rear tire is. I thought I read that Bailey doesn't get his balanced and never had a problem. And he changes his tires more than some people change their underwear. I would say mount it and ride it. If it feels unbalanced, then remove it and bring it to get balanced. I would think a breaker bar would be OK. I think the torque spec is around 80 foot pounds, so crank on it until it's tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer SAFE-T Posted April 23, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted April 23, 2008 Click Here Put these in/on my VFR. I had a front tire that was never balanced right - replaced with DynaBeads and it's all good now. No wheel weights to mar up the paint on the Marchesini's, either :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
