Member Contributer zupatun Posted May 14, 2019 Member Contributer Posted May 14, 2019 I just bought a pair of Pirelli Angel GTs front and rear for $208 total...I put them on the rims myself...Mid 2018 production date-so they are fairly new. Matt 1 Quote
Member Contributer ChasingNolan Posted May 14, 2019 Member Contributer Posted May 14, 2019 I'm with Bent on the Pirelli Angel GT's. I wanted to put one on my rear tire to match the front that's about 2 years old. But I couldn't really find a good deal on them after looking at them on/off for the past several months. I ended up putting on a Metzeler Z6 on the rear. It was too good of deal to pass on and I'll be happy if I can get a couple of years out of it. My front will likely need to be replaced next year. I'll be leaning towards Angel GT's or maybe a Michelin PR5 for it. If I run across any good deals before then I may just jump on it before I really need it. Quote

Matt Now that's a good price for a pair of almost anything. Wish I could have found a deal on Pirelli's but they just priced themselves out of my market. Free enterprise is a great thing! Quote
Member Contributer Bent Posted June 16, 2019 Author Member Contributer Posted June 16, 2019 Well, I guess tire prices have just gone up significantly. Was shopping the internet yesterday and I just don't see the tire deals that used to always be there on "premium" brand tires. Oh well. Quote
thepretender Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Its riding season no need for sales if you need them your gonna buy no matter the price. Quote

Guest Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Rocky Mountain has RoadSmart II for 173.08 and free shipping. I ordered four sets last week and all were either made 1119 or 1219. Dunlop must have had enough people ask for them. I have worn out a few sets year ago and they are decent sport-touring tires. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/tires-and-wheels/dunlop-sportmax-roadsmart-ii-rear-motorcycle-tire-p?il_source=tires&il_medium=main-dunlop-roadsmart-ii-tires Quote
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted June 17, 2019 Member Contributer Posted June 17, 2019 Rocky Mountain is my go to for tires online, if not I will get them from Chaparral in San Bernardino if I need them immediately. Their prices are good and I get a small discount for being signed up with them, essentially it comes out like no sales tax. The last set I bought was about a $2 difference from the price I got from RMATVMC. That being said, I believe that a lot of online retailers are now adding in state sales tax. A friend of mine just bought a set from RMATVMC and he said his invoice showed California sales tax. I know that Revzilla is now doing this, as their parent company (read affiliate Cycle Gear) has locations in California. Quote
Member Contributer Bent Posted July 13, 2019 Author Member Contributer Posted July 13, 2019 Well, I bit the dust and just bought what I needed on a little bit of a sale. I will try Dunlops next time as they seem to be consistently a little less expensive than others. I just buy where tires are cheapest. Yes, Revzilla is owned by Cycle Gear. Hate to see that but they didn't ask me...... Quote
