Looking for cheap place to buy multiple motorcycle tires
I'm shocked that I simply cannot find a retailer that offers any kind of discount for buying two motorcycle tires as a set (front/rear). My friend needs tires for his bike too so I was hoping to find some place we could negotiate with on four tires. I had hoped to look at the discount for a single set vs. individual tires to use as a starting point, but the only sets I see cost more than sourcing the two tires apart from each other! This is pretty frustrating. How flexible are dealers on tire pricing when you are also paying them to loose-mount? I intended to get a tire mount/demount bar and mount for myself, my friend, and others, but they don't have to know that.

I usually have to get the front and rear from 2 different sources to get the best pricing. Let us know if you find a dealer willing to help you out on this.

Some shops offer free shipping if you buy 2 or more tires. I've seen some good package deals on more common sportibike tire packages, but for the less common sizes (like ours), I haven't seen screaming package deals either.

They don't carry the BT-016's rear in a 150 but they do have the new S20's in both front and rear sizes.

You can buy takeoffs at your local race track for cheap.
