Where to buy tires and brake pads

[tenxxx]

Need a new rear tire on the B and brakes all around.
Who has the best deals?
The bike has 30k miles.
Whats the average miles for brake pads?
Will be putting the bike up for sale when the work is complete.
Thanks for any advice.

Whoever can give you the latest DOT date on the tire.

I still have a new 2016 unmounted rear motorcycle tire in my crawlspace. Been running a car tire for so long, I haven't needed it. Also have the original 2015 motorcycle tire mounted on a spare wheel.

Still kicking it around if I'm going to eventually use that new spare rear motorcycle tire. Crawlspace is dark and is climate controlled.

that "new" unmounted tire is approaching 7 years old. Personaly, I wouldn't put it on my F6. Just my personal feeling. Rubber dries out whether it's on the bike or in storage. You wouldn't put a 7 year old tire on your car I hope, either.

Actually, the dealer I went to, to mount my BT46 2 weeks ago, matched the price of Revzilla so it may pay to have the price you want to pay, and the web page, on your phone ready. Also get the price of brake pads too. They'll take a little hit on their merch if they can get the labor. Don't tell them about the pads until you get the time/price for just the tire as it doesn't take any more time to put the pads on.

Good idea, I"ll give it a shot.
