Help me decide!!!

okay well i wanted a 190/55/17 but there are expensive at the cheapest i found for ct pp was $315 shipped or should i save some and get this offer at a sale price coming up this saturday for diablos 120/70-17 + 190/50-17$179.98 plus state tax would be $190 total plus $20 cheaper to mount and balance since i bought from them is this an obvious choice?

Sounds like it to me...so long as they are not blems.

edited i cant use the $20 coupon but still a good deal i think but not the 55 :(

blems is a term short for blemish. They are tires that are somehow less than perfect and sold at a lower price.

okay thanks i figured thats what you meant :) $315 - $170 = $145 in savings

:thumbup sounds good!

They're not blems. Cycle gear does this sale once a year right before bike week. The whole point is to get people in the store to buy other stuff. Great deal on the tires though.

Just got a new 190 50 Michelin PP for 151.00 and 15.00 for mount and balance...

k sounds good to me at least for the money

o i just found out they are W rated tires :( is that like a road tire? im not sure how they'll handle- does anyone?

I have seen some information on W rated tires, but generally they list it as a 168 mph max tire. The Z rated which are more common are listed most commonly as 149+ mph. Not sure if that helps, but me personally, I stick with a Z rating. Even the sport touring Dunlop D220's I run are Z rated. And I spin those up somewhat regular.

Hmmmm that's interesting, never thought to check on that actually.:dundun: Can't see that it would make much difference though would it? I mean not unless you're getting into that max speed area on a regular basis and for a decent length of time...

I mean not unless you're getting into that max speed area on a regular basis and for a decent length of time... I don't know for sure. I stick with Z rating even on my sport touring tires. And I can tell a difference between DOT race, street performance, and sport touring tires. I'd have to look into the composition of a W rated tire to know what was different though.

opps my bad guys- i got the wrong info from someone- then i checked it out myself, it is a Z rated tire so I ordered them :) hope they work nice!

Good stuff!!
