Rough Tyre Price

**BNZ** · 8th April 2005, 12:40

A few of you here ride 250's and a few of you work in shops, so I was hoping someone could give me a rough price for a GPR70 140/60/R18 fitted?

Think they are about 278$ was getting a quote.

Probably add about 30$ for fitting so about 300$ fitted.

I paid less than that for a 180/55.. the back tyre on my CBR250 was about 200 I think, possibly less, but was a while ago, so could be more.. Go thru the phone book and call a few places. Some might have specials on, and saves riding all over town looking

Bet they werent race ready tires though GPR70's own the intawebs.
Although I might be thinking of GPR80's I cant remeber what I asked for, but I know for an GT501 on the front it was 138$, and he pretty much fainted before he told me the price of the rear, as the checky buggers dont make GT501's to fit on a 140/60, he said well "The next one up is... a GPR70...at (insert swearing here) 270~$"... I was like yea I'll call you lol.

And whats with a 180/55 on a CBR250 - sounds like an american car conversion man! lol

I mean "look how purtttyy dey are boi.." lmao

Thats right boy :P, well they are'nt race tires really but are suitable for racing due to the softness of the tire, and even dunlop say they are ok for the track - they are suitable for budget racers - or want to be racers/ricers....

Anyways I'll shut up before I soil myself.

I currently have a GPR70 on the front and a GPR80 on the rear. I dont want to bother changing the rear until I get my rear shock re-gassed/replaced.
