Best prices on Michelin's and free shipping to boot. The best buy is Pilot Powers. Under $200.00 dollars for a set to your door...........  Enjoy..............

Depends on the dealer I guess.....I've been dealing with these guys since I bought my first street bike back in 1985 or so, even though my old ass doesn't race anymore they still give me a really good racer discount...Mounting is only $30 for both so I might have saved a little buying online but the mounting price would have gone up.....oh well at least I'll be riding again tomorrow !!

Is there a suspension issue if your tires wear funny? Mine seems to be wearing feathered in the front. Every other tread block looks like it's worn down more then the inbetween ones.

Michelin PURE <---- THE tire to have.
Less rolling weight/sticky as a track whore.
In case you're wondering what this new tire is about, see chart

^^Picture gives no info on the different color percentages. WTF is all the colors representing? Knowing supersoft, soft, medium, hard, etc...makes it worth looking at.
