What's the going rate for Pilot Powers?

Whats the going rate for pilot powers?

(or a pair of good sports bike tyres.)

I just got given a price of $670 for pilot powers fitted.

Seems expensive, I usually try to stay under $550 for a pair of hoops...

Shit! I don't pay more than $250.00 for a pair of Conti Race Attacks.

I love this fitted shit.


I mean hows the conversation go.

You pull in to Cycletreads canvas and wires showing through the tires.......

Could I please have a new set of tires...... why thank you. Could you pop them in a bag for me I am just heading home to fit them?




Its like airlines who advertise $5 dollar flights but then add on 295 dollars of taxes, but its not a 300 dollar flight its a 5 dollar flight with "taxes".

Call apples apples.

If your skint you can probably save yourself $30-$50 by taking the wheels off yourself and bringing them in. I agree that most riders wouldn't actually fit the tyres to the rims themselves.

550 for 2cts fitted

on ya. Not all tyres are created equal. I took a metzler Z4 deal at $400 for 2 and they are "ok" Not super confident with them but they arent really bad. Probably suit a bit more of a criusing style to be honest.
I usually run Pilot Roads which are fantastic. PP disappear too quick.

north of $550 and you gotta be shopping around but I guess that is why you started the thread in the first place.

Glad you've said Roads are fantastic. I just got a pair from Bay City $420 delivered to Wellington (including shipping). Free fitting if you know the right people...

[cowboyz]

that is a real nice price. You know how to upset a guy dont ya. I will swap you the PR2's for the MeZ4s I have on mine and I will pay to have them changed over. I only got a couple of thousand on the Z4s.....

Power 2CT's 190 rear, usual front $500 fitted

Or you just go to the same tyre shop for 15 years, and they pickup the bike for free and flag the fitting cost... Loyalty rocks...

$500 hundred odd, is dam good money to be paying for them, or any thing as good if not better than those

First I ring around for a quote - then take wheels off myself at home - have new rubber fitted - then reinstall myself - result best price, wheels lined up properly, chain adjusted properly, all nuts and bolts properly tightened and no damage from rushed tyre fitters
