running Bridgestones on the wing. Don't have an opion yet but they are popular among wing riders and they are cheaper. Don't know if they make a 200.

Motorcycle Superstore.com has an Avon 200/55VR-18 for 179.00 with free shipping, and it is in stock.  I ordered 2 front tires from them a few months ago, and delivery was fast.

Hey Earl,

I sent you an email with coupons for that Motorcycle Superstore website, and it has a Metzler coupon too...

I bought a pilot road 4 for the rear on the FJR from the yamaha dealer in Highlands for $150 something.  I was told that they sell their tires at cost.  $25 to mount if you bring the wheel in, $35 if you bring the bike.

Good guys, and not a pneumatic tool to be found near the bike when they took the rear tire off!

It's hard to ride just one wheel.
