[Jim Hubbard]

Hey guys, I just called to order a new set of tkc-80's from tiresunlimited.com, and the guy said they're running a blowout sale on Continental Enduro Pro CC160's (which I'd never even heard of) for something like $25 a set. Yeah, that's for both the front and rear together. Can't beat that deal, so I jumped on it. There's a pic of the tire at http://www.tiresunlimited.com/images/metzeler_moto rcycle/enduro_pro.gif. I think he said they only have about 17 pairs or so left. I don't work for this vendor, honest. I just thought this was a great deal. The tires prolly suck though. Jim Hubbard

I checked that website and couldn't find the great deals you are talking about. I still think this is a better deal: Qty SKU Description Size Color Status Price On Order --------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- 1 30865 KT-966 Dual Sport Rear Tire 5.10-17 -- On Order $51.99 motorcycle superstore

That's $2 less than what I can get it for thru my local motorcycle shop. And my local motorcycle shop gives me free mounting and balancing (not that I really *need* it since I have tire irons, but it's a PITA enough to deal with these thick-sidewall tires that I'm happy to have them do it). Shipping and taxes are about equal. In short, check your local motorcycle shop first if you're in a market where there's lots of competition. -E

I have a gearhead dn the street that will mount the tires for 25 avocados from our orchard. I am sure that is cheaper--My cost on avos is 25 cents each. Want to buy any avocados? You can pick your own at 35 cents each J

It's true, the deal is real! The website doesn't show 'em, so I called. The guy said they have 11 sets left, so I grabbed 2 sets for a total damage of $68.82 shipped! Mark

The deal the salesman quoted me isn't listed online - apparently you have to call. On the telephone. YMMV. Jim --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "nakedwaterskier" wrote:

The link for the pic didn't work, so her's one that does: http://www.conti-tyres.co.uk/contibike/tyreinfo/tyredata_motorcyle/enduropro.htm It's a more street oriented tire, apparently. I love my TKC's, so I'd bet these are great if you spend most of your time on the street.

I just called and got two sets also. About $66 ! 3 sets left at 7:45 ET 800-628-4737 Tengai Mark Van Horn wrote: At 2:20 PM +0000 8/23/04, Jim Hubbard wrote:

I'd bet these are great if you spend most of your time on the street. Picked up two sets at 2:30 pm pst. only 5 sets left still at 25 bucks a set. Anybody have any experience with these tires? Patrick A17
