Hey, why didn't you get the BT-016s? just curious...

Because they don't have the front in a 65 and I don't like the thought of changing my setup.

Okay pumpkin, just wondering.....

ha they carry a 60 and a 70 but not a 65... that sucks!

Yeah. I wouldn't mind trying the 016 since I hear they are better than the 014's, but I'm not one for change. Unless I'm forced, which was last year and why I even have the 014's now... they discontinued the OEM's for my bike. Probably a good thing since the 014's are better.

If you want the 2ct, they are approximately $163.63 shipped.

I just bought my tires from this place since they were by far the cheapest around... though I got Bridgestones.

Good find.

I heard of them but their pricing wasn't that great before. MAW used to be the place and before them Chapparal was the place to go! I bought a set of Pilot Powers for $200 shipped there back in the day.

Yeah, they used to not be so cheap but as I said, in the last year or two they have been the cheapest.

I used to shop both of those as well.

Yep I've used both of them and also motosport.com

Locally I've bought sets from Cycle Gear and HardRacing...both giving 10 % off when you buy a set.
