I ran out of tire in Arkansas/Missouri last year and had to run to a shop to get something. I thought the tire was iffy when I left. Had not the roads been that good, it would have made it, c'est la vie? Anyhoo, a shop in West Plains MO removed the toasted PR2 from the bike, mounted, balanced and reinstalled on the bike a Shinko of some variety on my bike. It cost $107 out the door and got me home and did about 2k more miles. It was a heck of a deal. I looked up the model and I think it was a super sport tire.
All I know is when they told me how much it was, I threw down $107 in cash and we beat feet out of there before they realized the pricing error. Then again, they did strip a caliper bolt but even given all that ($39 to replace the bracket used off eBay), it was still a deal.
This is the road that killed it, it died a glorious death.
