Best local tire deal?

Does anyone have experience with the Diablo Supersports? CycleGear is having a sale when you buy front and rear. $170 for a set.

I need new tires before the HC run so I'm thinking about these.

the 220's are great street tires due to the tread pattern, but for the track there is way to much cut away to make that pattern.  Not enough rubber on the road.  great for that rainy day.

they can still be had from cyclegear.com for $100 + $8 shipping.  sounds reasonable.  and they also have that package deal for the pirelli diablo streets supersport tire for like $169 for front and back together.  i was actually thinking about picking up a set to have around the apartment for whenever i needed to switch out the tires again (i picked up a pirelli rosso the other day), but wondered what's the longest you want to have a tire laying around before you mount it?  they coat it with crap that prevents dry rot for a long time, right?

I would think that as long as you keep it out of the sun and out of the weather it should be fine for a pretty long while (within reason)

Will,

they won't be shipping until around the 21st i think....and i talked to the plano shop and they said don't count on them to arrive too speedy...  but if you want you can go to the plano shop and pay them the $170 now, and they will hold you a pair (i was told the would have them *probably* by the 21st).  i'm still debating on grabbing a pair, but why is plano so freaking far away?

I bought my past few sets of tires from motowheels.com using the board discounts.  Shipping was fast. As far as local place I have yet to find a good source with the sizes I needed.

This board?

well TOB discount. But it doesnt matter b/c its the same discount as the 1098 forum which I frequent as well

I bought tires from SouthWest Moto last time... Free shipping if you buy 2 or more tires.

I've had ~ 2K mile experience with the Diablo's and feel pretty confident in their ability to grip the pavement...even when not paying attention to a stoplight under I35 & Oak Lawn and the tires screeching.  Oops.  Wear seems to be pretty good.  Just purchased a 2nd set.

Thanks for the info.

After scouring the globe, I found Rockwall Honda to be the cheapest deal on the Pilot Powers. $40 cheaper than sporttour.com or Southwest Moto.

Are you driving out there? When??

[Duc L'Smart]

Sale on Pilot Powers & Qualifiers.
You have to pay sales tax, but if you pick up then there's no shipping... How much is gas round-trip to Rockwall?!?!

I bought a set of PP from the for the K bike (AR killed my old tires  )
I also ordered a fairing stay for the New Hotness, but I'm waiting to pick up all at once.

Anyone? Class? Bueller??
