Steve-O Posted May 1, 2012 #1 Posted May 1, 2012 I can get Avon Venoms for about $160 front and back on amazon. Wondering if there is a brick and mortar store that will match these prices? I'm in Dallas.
Mike G in SC Posted May 1, 2012 #2 Posted May 1, 2012 I think you have a couple of Yamaha dealers in the area that are best internet prices on Yamaha OEM parts. (I use their prices to show my dealer). One is: Stadium Yamaha 520 West Airport Fwy Irving, TX 75062 (972) 445-0825 Another: Central Yamaha in Plano So, maybe they would be good on tires too? But that's an excellent price if that's a pair of Venoms for a RSV/RSTD!
Condor Posted May 1, 2012 #3 Posted May 1, 2012 I've never found a dealer that will come close to the prices that can be found on the internet. Try JakeWilson they've been pretty competive. There's a couple of others. I'll let others chime in with those. My local Yamaha dealer will mount tires on the bike for about $100. Ride it in, go have breakfast, ride it out.
Steve-O Posted May 1, 2012 Author #4 Posted May 1, 2012 I have a guy that will mount the tires for $20 each. He does good work. Still would rather get the tires locally, but $160 from Amazon is hard to turn down.

Kregerdoodle Posted May 1, 2012 #5 Posted May 1, 2012 Thats a tough price to beat, that is close to the price for one tire. If you get them from there, check what there return policy is and when you get the tires, be sure and check the tires mfg date. If you find the prices are not for the pair, I do have a Brand new Avon front tire, still in the wrapper that I received last Thusday that I will take $136.00 +shipping for. I have a guy that will mount the tires for $20 each. He does good work. Still would rather get the tires locally, but $160 from Amazon is hard to turn down.

lsutley Posted May 1, 2012 #6 Posted May 1, 2012 I checked the link provided and it appears to be the price for only one tire.
Steve-O Posted May 1, 2012 Author #7 Posted May 1, 2012 It's for just one tire. But about $160 for either the front or back. This was cheaper than ebay!

I figured for the extra 50-60 bucks it was worth not having to mess with it.
