I have a pair of PR3s we're mounting this Sunday for a Colorado trip, a friend has them on his ZX14 and believes they stick as well as Pilot Powers.
The set I ordered last week from my Honda dealer came to $304 including tax. (Mounting is "free" with my service plan."May I know what the going price for these tires is? I got a quote from my dealer today and it sounded expensive.
I am fortunate in that my dealer comes close enough to the internet prices on tires to make me feel good about spending $20 or so more to buy them from their local business. If they were $100 more for the set, I would have to explore them mounting tires I bought elsewhere under the service plan...Do dealers typically have any problem mounting tires that you did not purchase from them ?
Some do have a problem. Example: Cycle Barn in the Seattle area will not mount tires not purchased from them.Do dealers typically have any problem mounting tires that you did not purchase from them ?
I sent you a PM Phil and look forward to sharing some miles with you Sunday and Monday, we hope to hit Cashe La Poudre, RMNP Sunday, then 7/72/119 to Mt Evans Monday. It's open and we can ride ride all the way to the top, 14,270 feet! See you then!I've got a "spare" set of PR3s that will get here tomorrow if the FedEx tracking info is correct. The current set has about 5,000 miles on it. I'm hoping they'll last till next summer so the ones coming tomorrow can be fresh when I head north to Alaska.
BTW, what are you guys' plans for next Sunday night and Monday. I'm thinking I'll ride with you and camp with you Sunday night if that's OK. I'll need to get back here fairly early in the evening on Monday because Joanne is going to be in Wichita with her sisters while they go through some medical procedures. I'll have to pick her up Tuesday morning.
Interesting. That is the same wear pattern I am seeing with my RoadSmart Dunlops. A shallow valley on either side of the center-and I assume longer wearing compound-which is more pronounced on the uphill side. Guess it goes with the territory.Here's a PR3 with 18,000 miles on it next to the tire which will replace it.
i believe i paid $300 for the set from motorcycle superstore (140 for the front, 160 for the rear). one dealership would not install, another would. charged $80 per tire in labor, then disposal and shop fees, etc. came to $200. so it was $500 when all was said and done for me. next time i will get a quote from the dealer to compare. may be cheaper that route.May I know what the going price for these tires is?

It sounds to me like they ripped you rather deeply, consider doing them yourselfe if you have the ability and experience. supprising how much labor you can do for yourselfe for $200/250.00 in your pocket for yur time and effort.i believe i paid $300 for the set from motorcycle superstore (140 for the front, 160 for the rear). one dealership would not install, another would. charged $80 per tire in labor, then disposal and shop fees, etc. came to $200. so it was $500 when all was said and done for me. next time i will get a quote from the dealer to compare. may be cheaper that route.
