I'd say the continental contisports, contiattacks, or road attacks, i forget which is which, but i sold a ton of those to customers who like yourself didn't feel they needed race rubber and didn't want to spend a ton, when i recommend them to some guys used to michelins or pirellis they sounded very skeptical, but i know quite a few fairly fast riders running on them just fine.

Well, i just got a Rear Dunlop Spormax somehting tire 170-60.... I like it. A lot..... The bike handles a lot better. I just can't wait to get a front one. . .

I got it at Cycle world, i think it was a little expensive. The tire was 170 installation was like 65 and it all came up to like $242. Did i get raped?? I feel like i did, but ohh well. I didn't know where else to go..... :/

i was mounting a set of 2ct's for my buddy a couple weeks ago and i accidentally punched a hole in the sidewall. ive changed a shit ton of tires and never had that happen to me. i ran over to the local dealership to buy him a new one, i couldnt believe that fucker was $180 for one tire!

Did you take them your wheel, or did you take them the whole bike? For another $50 you could have bought yourself a full set of Pilot Powers with installation if you took the wheels off your bike...

$65 to mount 1 wheel, even with the rim still on the bike is rapage indeed. Fairfax cycles charges $40 and if you remove the wheel yourself, it's something like $25.

Fck Cycleworld.
Cyclegear in norfolk charges, something like $26-$28 to mount the tire.
D&D in Norfolk has free tire mounting if you buy the tire from them, otherwise it is $30.
