Believe it or not, I found that my BMW dealer was cheaper than anyone else I could find. ( Metzler Z6 Rear ) I just didn't have them install it, that was where they got expensive.

I took the wheel off and had another bike shop install the tire. It cost me $180 for the tire and 20 bucks for the install. I have seen them cheaper online but by the time it is at your door, it works out to be either the same or more.
