    Dunlop 491 - best place to buy?

    I need a new front and rear tire for my 79sf.

    One could try as many tires on his XS as he had money. I don't have that much time or money.

    I used the K-491 Dunlop on my former 80g standard and it was a great tire.

    There are so many tire options I'd probably rather stick to what I have used, unless someone makes a compelling argument otherwise.

    In the past I ordered from Dennis Kirk. Well, they only list Avon and Bridgestone for my bike. Ebay lists several tire options of the correct size .

    What's the best option, here?

    Found some good info searching using Bridgestone. This place looks good, too: http://www.swmototires.com/

      I run the Dunlop K491's and this is where I normally get the best price. http://www.accwhse.com/dunlop.htm#Tires%20street

        Yep, what Bob said. I ordered my Dunlop rear from them - price was the best I found. Plus, one day delivery! I ordered it at noon on a Wednesday, and UPS dropped it at my door 11 a.m. the next day! Astonishing!
