Well with 620 mi on my one week old blue 02, I picked up a nail in my back tire. Totally sucks! Can anyone hook me up? Dont want to spend$$$ on new set just yet with such low mi. If any CO riders have recommendations on a good shop to swap out tires, id appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I don't have any advice for you, but I share your pain. I had 650 miles on mine when I got a huge nail. I ended up with a 207 after no luck finding a 208.

If you guys wanna sell these tires with good tread and nail holes, post 'em! They can be plugged and used for burnout tires:D Good luck.....I just ordered a 200/50-17 D207 because my 208 only lasted 3000 miles. Hmmm.....I wonder why?:lol I work at a Yamaha dealership and even the cost on the 208 is HIGH! Laters.....Michael:D

Hey you guys can get 207/208 race takeoffs all day long on ebaymotors.com, I bought a set of 207gp 120front 180 rear with 90% tread left in the middle and 75% on the sides for $50! There are almost always sets on there for under $100. Good luck.
