    problem solved

    I found a guy right by me that is a Parts Unlimited Dealer and can get me parts on the cheap! I bought both tires for 165.XX. They are Dunlops and a nice tread pattern!
    Thanks For the help!

        I found this dealer online, but upon further inspection I discovered that their retail shop is about 15 miles from my house! I found the prices favorable, especially since I didn't have to pay for shipping.

        JMHO - There are a number of things that are ok to cheap-out on, but I firmly believe that tires do not fall into this category. They are way too important.
        I know this, because Tyler knows this.

            I really, really hate myself........when it comes to PITA tire changing and balancing. Murphy's law usually applies.

                            I took Bigfoot's advice and got some shinkos from Motorcycle superstore. I think the 712s. They were $93 for both tires.

                            I dismounted and mounted the new tires in my garage with a couple screwdrivers in a little under an hour. Took them to the shop to get balanced.

                            Rode them around tonight, and the seem to be pretty decent so far.

                                    No, it is still mounted on my other wheel. If you want it you'll have to wait and see if Tod is still drooling over it for his XJ.
