you always find these awesome deals when im dead broke :lmao:

Rear too big and I will get 0 miles for the next year, so no matter.

i just installed a rear and I am thinking about it... That's a fantastic price!

I'm betting you could spoon this on if you wanted considering it's an 190/55...:idk:

FWIW I wish I was deployed as well! The Army found out about my "condition" and declined my enlistment.:panic: :idk:

With the drummer now I'm sure I could. With the stock pipe, tire clearance was very close to the rear.

Damn tigger, you always try to trick me into spending money i need for rent and food and shit. Incredible deal.

Hey just doing my part to help stimulate the economy!:pat:

I didn't think they cared about ED.:?:

:D

I do need a rear, and wanted to try the 190/55.

Well, it would be like getting the front for about $60... Oh and only the Navy cares about E.D.

190/55 is incredible. Do it.

ditto

Great price, but I hated those tires.

There is a local dealer here in town that will match that price. The catch is... you need to pay them, $60 to install both tires. Otherwise you pay more without installation. I'd end up paying to have someone put them on anyway, so that's where I get my tires from. If you have a tire changer or access to one, then yeah this is a great deal.

Oh an Tigger in case your wondering it's Treads that's matching online prices.

Yep, I figured. That's where I bought my bike. They're the best deal in town for buying tires! Besides, that's $60 for both tires on the bike and they adjust your chain, lube it and they used to wash your bike as well, back in the day.

Yea well, they don't think very highly of you either, BUCKO!!!!:lol: :idk: i really, really like them! They are perfect for my bike and the type of riding that I do!:rockwoot:

I have a set shipping to me that left San Diego last night.

I got a new set yesterday in the 190/55 so we'll see! To be honest, I have my set-up EXACTLY where I want it and am a little concerned...

Do you not currently run a 55 or is the profile that much different from whatever tire you have now?

I run a 190/50 BT-002RS now, so this should quicken my turn in right? Hell my bike is lowered in front and raised in back and I went down a link in the chain... the damn thing is telepathic now!:lol: When I put these on, I'll probably put the normal length chain back on. I was testing whether I could shorten my chain and still get it on the bike. It was tight but no problem. I think I shortrened the wheelbase an 1/2 or so...seems quicker,:idk:

Got ya. Yeah, turn in will be quicker but you should have the same stability at full lean as you do now.

I hope so, it's all about long, fast sweepers down here!

See, we have a lot more tight, twisty, every corner is a blind corner roads.

Those are what I like....

For sure dude

I got mine in yesterday afternoon and had em mounted last night by a friend.


Went on a ride this morning/afternoon covering about 140 miles of twisties. These tires are incredible compared to the Rossos and for just over 2/3 of the price. Very tall profile, even though both were 190/55s. This tire has tons of feedback and very precise cornering ability. I am absolutely sold on bridgestone.

See? I've been trying to tell y'all!:lol: Oh and that's my "concern" because the tires already had a taller profile than Pirellis of the same size. I got a couple of very experienced guys trading 2CTs in for Bridgestones here next week. We'll see what they think. I was leading a tighter section of the ride last weekend and they were complaining about slippage. One was on a Ducati 1098 and the other was on a 2009 GSXR750. Of course the other point is price. At 2/3 the cost, even if you lose some mileage, you'll still break even AND have a stickier tire to boot!

Price is definitely unbeatable. There was a guy riding with us yesterday with an MV Agusta with bridgestones on it who said he hated spending the extra money to buy pirellis or michelins when he didn't get a good mileage/cost. He also refuses to take his bikes (he also has a Duc 916) to shops because they charge too much. Was just a little ironic to me.

Yea but if you save $500/year on tires and shop fees.... Well, what would you do with the money?:lol:

trackdays. (which he said he is doing another one the day i'm going in october)
