New Rear Tire

[OB_VegasDude]

I have heard about the rear tire for the busa being hard to get and expensive. I just bought a rear tire at best motorcycle parts and accessories. This tire is NOT a second or bleamished tire. I paid 131.00 dollars plus tax. It even included mounting and balancing for free!!!They had 3 tires in stock...........poop for that it doesnt matter how long the tire last........thats cheap.

The US list price for a Bridgestone BT56R J 190/50 ZR17 is $300. I would check and see if they sold you a B56 SS.

BTW, dealer cost is $207 USD.

I rechecked the tire it says BT56r (73W) but no J.I called the dealer where i bought the tire says the "J" designation just indicates where the tire was made and that it is the same tire. The size is 190/50 ZR 17 Is the dealer correct?

NOT THE RIGHT TIRE
don't use it
if you do
don't accelerate quicker than you would on a cruiser
you'll rip the carcass apart
it can't take the power of the bike

remember
in motorcycle tires, like everything else
"YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR"

If you look at the sidewall of the tire it will say Bridgestone B56 RADIAL followed by a "J" (about an inch or so after), if not, then you have the wrong tire.

I can't see a dealer selling you a tire $70 under his cost.
