Cheap tires in Northeast Georgia

[jetmechmarty]

Rabbittown Salvage has motorcycle tires for $35 each no matter the size. It's a brand I never heard of and made in Korea. Manufacture dates on the ones I sampled were late mid year 2014. I couldn't remember the brand by time I left the store, but the tread patterns reminded me of the Metzeler ME880.

Wow. Any reason you did not buy one to hold onto? I'll be buying tires soon.

I am just too fussy. I'm the guy who won't buy Shinko tires. I never heard of these and I have brand new Pirellis on my bikes. I'm not up for being the guinea pig. I am tempted at that price. I did come out of that place with some other stuff that I did need.

Did they have both XS1100 size tires? What other stuff do they have?

They did have 100/90-19 and MT90-16. I didn't dig enough to know whether or not there is a standard rear tire.

I bought Royal Purple 75W140 and they had Castrol Motorcycle Oil in 10W40. I bought a metric set of Gear Wrenches (lifetime warrantee) for $20. New car batteries are $50. They have prom dresses, water coolers, furniture, and anything in between. It's all new stuff.

Full Bore is the brand name. I didn't dig through the stacks, but I found the XS1100 Special front and back. It looks like they have a few.

Well, I'm thinking that since I don't go through tires every season, it might be a better investment to pay a little more for tires, so I'll be grabbing another set of Metzelers.
