I'm finally getting some Michelins for the C 14, I've been wanting some but couldn't quite swing the cost. Well I did some checking and found the price to be very comparable to other good wearing tires and so I just ordered from motorcycle superstore the PR2's, shipped for $272.88. I am having my wedding reception on the 21st and have to mount and balanced to leave for Nags Head on the 22nd. The last set of tires I replaced was with the Dunlop Roadsmarts, got about 4500 miles on them and ready for a new set.

7 am this morning I was changing tires................in the yard. I was wanting to purchase a HF tire changer and the proper equipment to go with it but was pinched for time so I changed them by hand and had the local HD shop balanced them for me. Last year the about the same week in June they balanced the roadsmarts for me and only charged me for weights, $4 and change, this year I think they caught up with me, $22 and change. I have a local Kawi dealer about 13 miles from me but can't seem to deal with them, seems like they are always trying to stick it to me. Guess I'll just keep trying. When I bought my 12 I had to drive about 65 miles to another dealer to get a deal.
Skip on the HF tire changer and go for the HF tire balancer. Are you using zip ties for the mount?
Looks like too much work to me. My guy does it for $20.
