Cost please, and talk to me at 6K or 7K. Glad you like them so much. I've had Bridgestones from the factory and just installed a Metzler on the rear. No complaints from wet to dry, cold to hot, twisties to pegged. Allergic to nails; damned nails.

Just got 6K out of factory rear Bridgestone. Granted this tire was used during the breakin phase, but the 1300 mile trip to W VA took a chunk out of the center tread and that's why it had to be replaced. I'm not a burnout or big wheelie guy, eventhough I would consider myself mildly aggressive. Weekly trips to the peg over the last several thousand miles.
I paid $ 200.00 for the tire at the stealership, plus $100.00 installation. Rim looks great no big complaints. Will try to plan better next time. I have someone who can get me the tires for $100.00 and another local with the tools that suppose to know what he's doing. Hoping to get as good a job for 1/3 the price. Still interested in your cost and if you know it what they would cost me. Thanks.

Hope you got a kiss after that...

Most I've SEEN that tire is $150, and my Suzuki dealership charged me $40 installation. Ouch!

I'm no expert on tire prices, but that seems pretty hight. Plus a dealership ripped you off for $100 for mounting. If your near a cycle gear, the generally have great prices on tires. They only charged me $15 to mount the tire on the rim. True you have to take your wheels off and take them in to get changed, but its way cheaper. Also there are tons of places on the net where you can get great tire deals.

Verify you're running Road Attacks. I'm running the Sport Attacks.

The road attacks are the sport touring tire while the sport attacks are the sport tire. I'm only asking because you mentioned they are grippy in corners.
