Title: Where to go in Austin, TX for new tires?
Post by: hooksem on January 06, 2009, 01:08:21 PM
Just curious where people are going to have new tires installed.  I assume I can buy them cheaper at CycleGear and have another shop install them.  However, who do y'all trust not to nick your rims?  I have an 07  S2R1K.

Thanks!

It might be useful to post up in the Texas Hill Country Local forum: http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=32.0. The locals might have some better info for you.

I believe Austin falls into the "Hill Country" geography but I'm not sure.

I ended up at Zabor's and they did a good job.  I went with Michelin Pilot Power 2 CT.  Wow, what a difference.  i had been running a BattleAx up front and a Dunlop Qualifier in the rear prior to the change.  I already feel more confident in my turns.  Maybe it's all in my head, I dunno.  Whatever the case, I'm glad I made the move.  It'll be interesting to see how many miles I can get out of them.
