Mike's cycle in McKinney will do a tire for $22, and actually 
treats the rim like its his own.

Most of the stealers in the DFW area charge about the same, plus 
they will not touch mail order tires, they still insist mail 
order tires are factory seconds and will only mount tires 
purchased at MSRP from their store. I believe Brian goes to a 
dealer in Grapvine, H*nda dealer though, that is pretty decent, 
so there are exceptions, but they are rare up here where I live 
in the land of the rich and plenty where motor cyclists exist 
soley to give $$$$ to the dealers.
