[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 2157181, member: 5655"] At one time if a person bought tires via mail order and took them to a local dealer to mount, the shop would normally do it but would dish out enough grief that you'd never want to show your face around there again. Most shops are still like this though there are some exceptions. Cycle Gear here in Tulsa did a set for me not too long ago and didn't give me any trouble. You might also see if the Motorcycle Tire Store is still around. The former owner (since passed away) was an old school BMW guy and he and I got along just fine. Chain and sprockets are cake to do. You can get a breaker tool at Cycle Gear and save some money in labor. As far as that brand of tires, I don't have any experience with them and couldn't offer any input. Generally I would suggest going with the best tires you can afford. You could always go with a car tire on the rear... :pms2: [/QUOTE]
