Title: New Tire Post by prechermike on 06/09/11 at 17:24:59 For what it's worth, I got a new tire yesterday. Dunlop K555. It is what I put on before, it was the only tire the guy could get that would fit. I am not sure how long I had it, but I did put about 6500 miles on the tire. $180 for the whole nine yards installed. You do not realize how much tire is supposed to be there until you get a new one on. :o |

So Justin, does that work out to $0.36 per mile? I got the last tire in august of 09. The guy that that was about what everyone around here was getting for their tires. He is a Harley guy and I think works mostly on them. He said the wear pattern was pretty typical for around here as well. |
