scott,
if you can find a price on a tire i can get, i'll price match it 110% of the difference. Example, if Company X carries Tire A for 100, and we carry it for say, 150, that's a $50 diff. So we'd sell it to you for $55 less, or %95.
When I was shopping around, I was looking at the 315/75r16's. But the price on those is kinda steep. If you can find a 16.5" rim, then the price of a 35x12.50 would be a bit cheaper.
The price you're looking at, i'd think maybe some dunlops....
And Fuddruckers? don't tell me mira mesa dude...... That was my childhood staple. That and sizzlers, what is now an IHOP...

Scott I will post them. But you can pull up an FZ1 from Yamaha's site and it's pretty much the blue one. I just cut the rear out, put in a trailblazer to turn the rear lights into turn signals and tossed on a Muzzy pipe (which sounds awesome on that bike). Otherwise, it's still pretty stock.
Manster, 16.5 inch rim? I always thought they were hard to find 35" tires for. I have 16" Mickey Thompson rims and I put the ProComp 35's on it and they were NOT cheap. The whole shebang was around 800 bucks for all four tires, tax and installation and so forth. They are great tires though.
As far as cheap price? Hands down, the Tire Rack (on the web) has the cheapest prices in town. I get alot of tires from them.

yeah, the 16.5 inch tire is pretty cheap! check out 4wp's prices, and they are usually cheaper on the 16.5 tires.... They are trying to "phase out" that size.
Anyhow, tire rack has some GREAT prices, so great we can't price match them. But Scott got some 17's, and the prices only go up up up from there.

Dude, long story. I've back for a while. The accident changed my life. It won't stop me from riding but it did change my life.
while I was in the hospital, I met so many hundreds of people who are not so lucky. Many of them were in car accidents and were disabled the rest of their lives. So people diss bikes but that's not how the majority of people die.
All the young crippled people I met made me realize that people who NEVER suffer any serious injury can NEVER judge someone who does. They take their health for granted.
But one day, I will laugh at those people once something bad happens to them.

...as well as a variety of other things. That was dead on.
