uh, no, if you select the 180/60 r16 you'll now see it is $10.00 more than what I paid for it on Tuesday. The thing is, the local dealer had them for $324, and Ron Ayers, where I usually get 'em had it for $229 + shipping. So I still made out like a big dog. |

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | I gotta make another trip next week from Vancouver to Mt. Vernon, Wa - the dealer there did my last set of E3's for $550 front/rear installed.
My Canuck dealer wants more than $1,000 installed !

SC, Bluffton | That $159.99 is for the front tire. $204.99 for the rear.
(Just in case anyone thought that was for the rear.)

Chesterfield, VA | I was on a trip earlier this summer and picked up a nail in my rear tire while in GA (near Marietta). Ends up I was real close to the Freedom Power Sports in Kennesaw, and they replaced both front and rear tires with E3's for less than $450.
A couple days later I got to visit them again as my fuel pump went out as I was leaving GA to head up the BRP. They covered the fuel pump under my extended warranty with no issues whatsoever.
For those in the area or just passing through, I highly recommend this dealership.

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | My U.S. dealer just e-mailed me the following:
"Dulop has raised prices on all tires. It will run you 600.00 for the E3"s installed on your Vision. I have them in stock if you decide to have us do it. "
So - $600.00-$350.00 = $250.00 for doing the labor of the tire swap. Is this reasonable ??? (Canadian dealer wants $1,000 + )

Indianapolis, IN | Local suzuki shop will mount and balance a tire on the rim for 35.00. If they have to remove the wheel from the bike it's 85.00/hour labor. The 250.00 for labor for the "full meal deal" sounds average to me.
When I had my blow out on the rear last week my closest Vic dealer did the full service for the rear only including tax for 392.00. I only did it because it was an emergency and I didn't have a spare at home at the time. |

| It must be that time of year where every one is clearing there tire out. Dennis Kirk and JP Cycle have them on sale for $190 rear and $140 front.
If you can wait a month I'll bet there cheaper yet. Yes free shipping. If you can get the wheels off your self a after market shop is really cheap conpaired to a dealer. |
