Tire Information

[Ray]

I was just checking tire prices and was surprised how much prices have increased.

Current Roadsmart IV Cycle Gear/Revzilla Prices

120/70-17 - $192.36
180/55-17 - $255.48

Last time I bought Roadsmart IV tires at Moons Motorsports was on 12/6/22.

120/70-17 - $137.95
180/33-17 - $182.95

Have tires gone up that much from Dec 22 to June 23?  Of course the $100 rebate with mounting brings final costs down.

I just did $168 and $221 on 23 May 2023 for newly manufactured RSIVs at Gateway BMW - and they also took the time to submit the paperwork for the (ongoing) $100 rebate. (This time, I brought pumpkin bread instead of doughnuts.) 

I'm a Revzilla Pro member (which gets me access to REVER pro mapping with Butler overlays for free), but I will never understand why we don't give the local guys a chance before jumping on the "discount prices" of warehoused tires (or helmets). I've never had to mention Revzilla/Cycle Gear prices, because the local guys and gals have never quoted me a price above minimum advertised price (MAP). 

Just for yucks, @Darrell, you should also include Moon's latest quote.

Which reminds me, talked to the No-Mar folks - fellow St. Louisans - who also made the rally this year (though inside). As I believe was noted on another thread, the Nemishes now have a new site for Moto-Tire USA that is doing well, and will hopefully be a model for the future. https://www.nomartirechanger.com/about.html

(I should note, that as I've gotten older, Steve admitted the tire changers have gotten lower to the ground; it wasn't just me.)
