How much do you think the tires will cost you - the metzlers are probably just over $200 (using bikebandit prices). 20% of $200 is $40 - that's pretty close to $50, no? Saves you some headaches (ordering online, shipping, etc), and gives a local dealer some business.

I run those on my bike. I love them. They feel great, stick to the road, and seem to have a half decent lifespan. My only beef with them is they can be a bit nervous in tar snakes. Overall, though, great performance and longevity for the money. There are nicer tires out there and there are cheaper tires out there but I think the Metzlers are the best value going.

awesome! thanks for the input, from what i have read they have like 35 reviews and not a negative word said about them, others compared them to the michellin pilots and dunlop or perrelli, i want a versatile tire i dont always carve up corners but i want a tire that will do that when i demand carving to be done but be able to handle normal wear and tear like commuting or a jog through town...or back road.

there is actually a pretty good deal on the dunlop q3's $40 rebate plus my $50 gift card and bandit bucks i could get both tires for $138
Don't wait, get them! Not many better tires out there and DEFINITELY not at that price!

I just purchased a pilot power 2ct for 140.... When I got home and saw it I liked how sticky it felt just sitting their. The price isn't much more than the cheap raven 009. Although amazon says it won't fit your bike...it will not sure why it says that.
Just my recommendation

the only thing stopping me is that every shop within 50 miles of me wants $40 a tire to mount and balance.
if i buy my tires from my friends shop i can get them mounted and balanced for free.... and i get 20% plus the $40 rebate... so I'm going to take my wheels off on sunday when I'm off of work and take them up to my friends shop and see what he can work out for me before i make a solid choice. but i am def aiming for the Q3's

*** update** I ended up getting a set of Michellin Pilot Power's from my friends shop for $292 installed. I probably could have saved more money by ordering the Q3's from Bike Bandit but then my buddy's shop wouldn't have gained any support from me and thats just crapy. on top of that i didn't need to wait for the tires to arrive, and i found a 2002 kawasaki KX125 for $700 at the shop,my friend said he will put in a good word for me.
my buddy didn't have the Q3's in stock, only Q2's, he said once he sells them out he will order the Q3's but highly recommended the michellin pilot powers. he had pilot road 4's but i dont think i could afford them, they look bad ***!...
any thanks to everyone on there advice, ill be sure to leave a review in my blog on these tires.
