Need to install new front tire, but which one??

Hey guys,

which one shoudl I put on the front 1300R???
I was thinking of Metzeler ME 880 and dealer quoted me over $200 for the tire and install.

Someone mentioned Kenda from JCWhitney before and am curious how is that tire handling.
Does anyone have experience with that tire on our bikes??
Where is the best place to buy tire and least expensive??

Thanks.


Sincerely,

Dino

HDL, or RonAiers (sp)
I bought mine from HDL recently, and they ship fast and are less than Stealers.
If they are takeing off the tires and mounting it, $200 isnt really that bad, because you going to pay about $130 for the tire alone. Thats ofcorse, if you trust them I wont let any of them touch my bike.

Metz. 880

I am still loving the Kenda. 150/70-17 I have been riding in the rain a lot lately. it handles exceptionaly well. I payed only $ 68 from Jc Whitney and at the time they had free shipping.

also i have 2112 miles on the Kenda so far and it still looks new.

I knew it I saw that tire on somoenes bike before.
Looks good and would like to purchase one.

Thanks for answer.
Will be placing order today or tomorrow.

I have the Metzler tire. It is a great tire.

I looked on the web site and the only one I could find is a Kenda 150-17 for the rear.

Is it a rear???

yes it's a rear tire, little shorter but 10mm widder than stock and I was looking for that tire, still for this $$ is a good buy
