I paid $220 for my Metz at the dealership in Lynnwood last time but it retails for $280. Hopefully they'll give me the same deal. I need a new one. It has some tread left but I went into a real cool slide while pulling out onto the road yesterday. The rear tire broke loose and the rear end slide around across the double yellow line. I almost went down. I have almost 9K on it but it is time for a new one I suppose. I'll stay with the Metz.

If you are coming my way anytime soon, I have a Metz with less than 3,000 miles on it sitting in my garage just looking all lonely! :twisted:

Unfortunately the dealers up here are refusing to mount a tire not purchased at the dealership. They say it is for liability purposes.

Lizz, about what are they charging for shipping the rear? That tire weighs a pretty good amount.

Marcus, if you are reading this thread, did your buddy in the club ever get that tire changer?
