take the wheels off the bike and most shops can mount the tires the same day they're dropped off. Usually costs between $50 and $75 for 2 tires to be mounted.

what area? if you don't take the wheels off then they're gonna charge you about 60 bucks a pop and not all places will mount tires you didn't buy from them

This is true. If you have bulldog stands then i would remove both wheels myself and take those to a deal and have them strap on the new rubber. That should cost you about 30 bucks per rim (ie $60). Otherwise, you will pay 62.xx for the labor of having to remove the wheels from the bike (charging you an hours worth of work for something that takes less than 5 minutes to do on your own), and then another 30 bucks per tire because you didnt buy the tire from that particular store. You could easily spend more than 100 bucks having tires installed at a store, i know Casey Cycle got me that way, which is why I decided i wouldnt go back to them.

If you are located in the 757, I would take the wheels to Redline on George Washington Hwy. In Yorktown. I recently replaced both of my tires on my r6 and they charged me $48 out the door. I probably called 20 places and Redline had one of the best prices and there service is hard to beat. It only took them about 30 minutes to do it, but they were not busy at the time. Definatly take the wheels off yourself unless you want to pay twice the price.

Yeah, any type of hobby shop you can take it to will save you money all ways around. They have all the equipment you need to do it. God bless being affiliated with the military.

I have a Pit Bull non spooled rear (will work with any bike) and a Lockhart Phillips front.

Just lemme know when you get the tires. Just ride the bike to my place and then we'll hit Oceana. I live like 5 minutes away from it.
