Title: New Tires / North Jersey Mechanic
Post by: Bulldog on October 13, 2008, 11:47:51 AM
Hi All.  I just put a set of Avon Roadriders on my 2002 GS500, and they are like night and day compared to the original tires they replaced.  They're not really high performance, but for my tame riding, they are so much smoother then what I had.  Paid about $120 from Am Moto for the tires, then $60 each for installation (steep on the installation, I know, but among the cheaper/convenient shops in North Jersey).

If anybody is looking for a mechanic in North Jersey, I use Dennis at Pit Stop Motorsport in Union City.  Prices are reasonable, but more important is that he's responsive and does the work to fit my schedule.

$60 to put on a tire?  DAMN!   :o

I do front and back in an hour with a screwdriver and a couple of homebrew tire irons!
