Cost of set of 3 tires from dealer

Does anyone have a ballpark figure on replacing all three tires with new factory ones?

Thanks,eh?

Brad

Probably $400-$500. I'd suggest a set of car tires. Less money, better traction, better wear.

Might also help to know what those three tires are going on.

Different models, different years, different requirements for tires.

Also need to know if you have one of those progressive dealers that is willing to mount non-OEM tires.

2012 rs sm5. I just need some sort of quote for negotiation purposes. If,say, $450 for three OEM tires installed is a close quote, that would be good. :)

For a serious upgrade, get away from OEM tires and probably pay less than half that amount. :thumbup:

much better traction and wear with car tires. if you can find a dealer that will put car tires on, ask first, then that is the way to go for rear. its harder to swap and balance rear do to hub. for fronts, i bought, swapped and balanced at walmart. or most any car / truck tire places

Go with car tires - you will thank me. The improvement over Kendas is dramatic, to say the least.
I went to a do-it-all automotive shop and the did the entire job of replacing and balancing the fronts. BTW, each wheel needed only .75 ounce weights. Look at your wheels. If you still have all the weights, it will be at least double that.

I think the car tire suggestions are a bulls eye on the wrong target. Sounds like the OP is selling a Spyder and needs to know what price allowance to make, to compensate for worn out tires. He doesn't want to buy tires, just wants to know the cost. Unfortunately, I have no idea what a dealer would charge. I spent $400 for car tires mounted and balanced. You could probably do it for $100 less...

Actually, I'm looking at purchasing one. :) I'm one of those weirdo's that think tires should be replaced no matter what after 7-8 years.

Buttersmooth, what's your location? We lived in the Roseburg/Sutherlin area for a few years back in 2014-2016.

Thank you. I just needed a number. If things work out and I go with the purchase, I will look closer at automobile tires.

:agree:, old tires are dangerous .... and as others have said, Auto tires are the best option ... If you have to rely on a Dealer for install .... just have them do the rear with an OEM ( :barf: ). Then remove your front wheels and just about any tire shop can do the fronts ( mount and balance ) if you bring them Auto tires ..... good luck .....Mike :thumbup:

:coffee: Tires seem to be a good deal at some dealers.

Good Luck on Your Mission. .....:thumbup:

I'm on the other side of the Cascades, near Prineville in the high desert. The land of winding two lane highways with few cars.

Info: OP is seeking to buy a used Spyder. One option is a 12 ST with 6K miles. The tires need replacing because of age. Draboo...please correct if I got anything wrong. Using the memory instead of lookback. :bowdown:

I'm coming late to this party, so you may already have your answer.
I suggest you budget about $300 for labor and then add the cost of the tires.
Three OEM tires would be about $600 installed total.
I've installed car tires on my Spyders, and I didn't save much money but got much better quality tires for the same cost.
I have no experience with the new Kenda Kanine tires.

Just my opinon, I could be wrong. If I am, hordes of my fellow members will be happy to let me know

I believe the rear crapenda is $180 retail. Fronts, $80 ea.. I'm Guessing:dontknow: with the fronts. So, $320 for tires, 2 hours labor at $120/hr.. $580 at a dealer. I would round it off at $600 total. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:
