Well, while the rocket was in the shop, I had tires installed also. I went with the Avon on the front and Bridgy Excedra Max on rear! WOW, you guys are right! This combo is GOOD! The first time I rode got in some rain and this combo was excellent! Thanks for the advice guys, I love them so far!:D

I have decided to buy the things i need to do my own tire service. Driving 50miles round trip dropping the bike off in the am and having to drive back to pick it up in the afternoon is getting old, and today they told me they are not comfortable putting on a car tire. Thats ok, i'll do it...
I understand that my question has to do a lot with the riding style, but I'm interested in getting the general range of miles per tire change. My Bonnie, I tend to get around 7000 miles out of the rear wheels.
How many miles do y'all get out of your rear tires? Darksiders need not chime in...
any one know of another option then the Metzlers for 2010 Triumph Thunderbird. These tires for the price do not last for any bike I have owned. I have been reading about the new Michelins, any body try them yet?

How hard is it to change the tires on a rocket III.. Can I use one of those ebay tire changers that cost 200?? How hard is it to break the bead on these tires? I am already on my second set of tires at 10,000 miles and the rear is starting to show signs of wear. I like to change them before I...
My OEM Mettzlers are finally about worn out. I have almost 12,500 miles on my front tire (very little tread left in the center part) and just a bit more tread left on the rear which has about 10,000 miles (the original picked up a nail at about 2500 miles and needed to be replaced). I went...
I was going to go with a CT but decided to stay with MC tires instead. So I ordered a set of Avon Cobras yesterday from Dennis Kirk - they were shipped last night and will be at my home on Thursday.:D Total cost with shipping was $379.01. Will have them mounted and DynaBeads inserted for...
Due to current budgetary concerns and a recent flat tire on my Rocket, I think I am going to be brave this time and try out a set of Bridgestone Exedra tires. Bridgestone makes the Exedra G701 in a 150/80HR-17 for $145.99 at Bridgestone Exedra G701 Front Tire - Cruiser Motorcycle - Motorcycle...

I know I'm not the only one with multiple bikes so I figure some of that have other bikes in addition to your Rockets can chime in.
My Tiger is in need of tires so I ordered some Michelin Pilot Road IIIs today. The OEM tires are Pilot Road IIs. They're "ok" and I got decent mileage out of...
I did some searching as best I could to find out as much info as I could about tire opinions. I hate to start another tire thread but I'm new to the R3T and have only spent 500 or so miles on the bike since I got her Nov. 19th. Therefore, I really can't form my own opinion on the Metzelers as...
It's been awhile since i've posted here. I just blew a tire on my 05 Rocket III standard,went to the Triumph dealer and he wanted $343.00 for the 240 and $160 for labor. I really don't mind replacing the tire at that price rest assured it's done right and safe to ride. My question to any of you...
