Yes, you can beat the price if you shop around in most cases, but you have to pay more to have it mounted if you're not buying from the shop.
I call BS on the $250.00.
Just double checked the local bike forum here and I was off. They are selling front and rear 180/120 for $250. $300 mounted and balanced. When they first started carrying 2CT's last year they were doing free mounting and balancing to drum up business. They mostly do suspension work and are certified Racetech suspension tuners and Ohlins dealer. Even at $300 I don't see how they're making any money or how they're getting them cheap enough to sell at that price. They are the cheapest here in S.A. for tires (not just 2CT's) and just about anything else you would need for your bike including routine maintenance. You can also bring them a quote from any other bike shop in town and they will beat the price. The only problem is it's a small shop with only a few employees, so while it is cheaper they may have it a little longer.
