They wanted something like almost $200 for the tire alone, plus mounting fee.
Maxim Honda offered a slightly better deal with a $225 price for the tire including labor (which runs about $45 for a tire mounting).
The tire I have on my bike now is a Kenda brand tire. I got it online from Florida. It sells for around $80 bucks, plus delivery.
I recently (read as 2,000 miles ago) replaced my front tire with a Bridgestone Spitfire tire. It's designed for "older bikes" according to its product decription, whatever that means. Still, it's a good tire. Grippy on the asphalt.
I found the rear tire now, at Amazon.com of all places. For about $89 bucks. And with amazon, anything over $25 gets free ground shipping, right?
Well, I may still pay extra for quicker delivery - I need that tire!
So, here's to a clean, gentle commute for the coming week. May that tire hold its air until then.
