Just go to maunders and planet honda get prices from each,Make sure you tell them the price the other gave you so they can try to better it.
Or you could just ride to cycletreads in auckland on a saturday morning, thats where I got my pilot power.

yeah am probably going to go the cycletreads option, but they are out of pilot powers at the moment. the lastime i got a tyre priced up here was at moto one (before maunders took over) and their price for a diablo corsa was $649 (i shit you not), WTF!!! at least fitting was free i suppose!

So far Mike at Planet Honda has been happy to match Auckland Prices for tyres. My last pair of Z6's were $500 (fitted). So I do as Tiller suggested. Planet Honda have looked after me well (especially their head Mechanic, Greg) and there is nobody else in Whangarei that I would trust as much as I do these dudes.

Nearly everyone is out of powers, if ya coming to akld try giving Haldanes a bell, they are normally pretty well stocked up, normally. I'd even go as far to get them to put em hold for you, awesome tyre the powers are.
Otherwise i'm heading up to whangarei next weekend if you can jak up with a dealer to pay i'll pick em up for ya and bring them up to you no worries.

Good luck getting some.

Well with a completely shagged rear tyre and the intention of riding some serious kms this weekend, Treads helped me out in the interim by selling me a 180 medium Pilot Race for $95, it has seen only one track day and still has plenty of tread on it. So I'm a happy camper till well after the new stocks arrive!! :woohoo:
