Just had a new set of Road 5's dealer installed.
For all you folks who do your own wrenching, here's my cost breakdown.
Rear: $199.95 Front: $169.95 2 Hours labor at $78/hour $7.50 tire disposal fee + tax on all of the above.
Previous tires were PR3's with slightly over 11,000 miles. The rear developed an off center wear strip on the drive shaft side which prompted the change. Front had tons of wear left, but a very close inspection showed some signs of very light cupping on the throttle side. So, since hopefully the only thing that touches the ground is the tires, off with the old and on with the new.
First impression of new tires, WOW does the bike tip in easily! It's been awhile since I've had new tires installed.
