I was out at Rockwall Honda yesterday and they have Qualifiers for $112 rear and $87 front (normal price). Pilots were +$25 ea or so. Anything better / closer?

That's a good local price on 180 and 120 Qualifiers.

How much to fit them?

what kind of qualifiers?

DOT 180/120's Dunlop Qualifier 209's. The guy down the street charges $25 off the bike and $35 on to mount and balance. I would guess that's pretty standard but given that European wanted $250 or so just for the 180 tire, it may vary depending.

anyone have any experience with Dunlop D220?  cyclegear is having a closeout and i'm wanting to grab a new rear tire...  the price seems great ($100) and i could go for a tire with some wet-weather abilities, since i won't have a cage to ride when it rains (i guess i could just not ride when it rains...ever).  i didn't want to pull the trigger though, if they're not worth a crap.  i wish there was a sort of motorcycle tire review site kind of like tirerack.com has...there's tons of user and professional reviews for their tires on that site.

it's a good sport/touring tire... actually i did a couple trackdays when  was fitted on my zrx so it's pretty sticky also..

not to shabby, thanks for the heads up.

If anybody needs pilot roads in 120/60-17 and 16-/60-17 I know an André who has a "André Certified Pre-Owned" set...

does that come w/ road hazard feature, because I believe the previous owner would had used that feature?

No, the previous owner crashed another set of tires, these are the commuters

in that case, that just may be a good steal too. =)

cyclegear was all out of the dunlop D220's...i thought about doing a set of pirelli diablo streets for like $169 (you know: "pregnant doges can hang with the streets"....) but my front tire is in good shape, so i'll be testing out a brand new pirelli diablo "rosso" (hard not to say "rossi" everytime i see that name...).  i think this will be the first pirelli i've had.

Rich the 220's are what I have on the front of the 900.  After next week I will have the 208's on the front and the 207's on the rear.

i would have picked up the 220s without hesitation, but they are all gone, and they're out of production now.  so, i shelled out the bigger $ for something newer and "better"... we'll see if it can keep me upright in a corner!!

i'd like to replace the front though, in all honesty, at some point this year, just because i know the guy before me didn't put many miles on the last couple years...so the front could be ~ two years old...though it has probably 70-80% tread left.
