So, my FZ1 is nearing the end of life of it's tires, so I've been hitting up the usual sources to get an idea what I'm in for to replace them. I'm planning on replacing them with the exact same thing (Michelin Pilot Road 4s). I've gotten really good service out of those tires, put front on in 2014 before I did the Kootenay tour (2300km), the rear on right after. There is probably close to 10000km on the from and 7500ish on the rear.
I did the usual and checked out FortNine (Canada's Motorcycle) and got a quote of $427 for the set. Another forum twigged me to go look at Pete's Superbike,
https://www.petes-superbike.com, out of Quebec. They offer the same tires for $381, so $46 less. The rub is that Fortnine includes shipping and Pete's doesn't. I'm going to find out what their shipping cost is this week and report back.
May be a chance to save a few bucks anyway. All the consumer reviews say this is a legit and well run outfit and they seem to have a good selection of tires.
Anybody have any other lines on tires?
