I would recomend you getting a price on a set of Metzeler Z6's.

Metzeler Z6's

$115.95 for the front
$131.95 for the back


45 minutes labor (hour rate $70)
so $70 or less for install... mount and balance

Does this sound reasonable?

Sounds reasonable to me after buying Michilin dirt bike tires..

tire prices seem ok, but the mount & balance price... yeowch!

was that for THEM removing the wheels, or for you bringing in just the wheels?

FWIW, Cycle Gear has a shop in Manchester, CT (about 90 miles from you) and they charge $10 per wheel to M&B. (or at least that's what CG charges here) you have to bring 'em just the wheels, but that's easy if you have a centerstand.

call around and you may find a more reasonable price for the M&B, there's another indy shop near me that charges $15 per wheel.

M&B should be a 15 minute job for someone who knows what they are doing.

That labor charge is for me to drive the bike in and pick it up in the afternoon. Honestly I don't know if saving $35 is worth it to me for the process up taking off both wheels then putting them both back on... also this guy is pretty cool. He'll have a chance to take a quick look at the bike and see if there's anything I should be worried about. The only other place I've dealt with around here is Sky Cycle (I think they're shisters) in Lunenburg , MA. They charged me $35 to mount a dirt bike tire when I just brought in the wheel and bought the tire from them. I don't think I'm going to do any better locally...

then if thats for them doin the whole thing to me yes it a good price! thats if you dont want to do it yourself!
