Cycle Gear Tire Replacement?

dan7uk · Aug 3, 2022

My tires are going to need replacement in the near future. I've always removed the rims off myself and taken them to a Honda dealer about 25 miles away. I never thought to take them to Cycle Gear which is close to me. If you buy the tires from them, they will install the tires $25 each rim. Has anyone had good or bad experience with C.G. doing the work since the brake rotors will stay on.
Thinking about going with Dunlop Elite 4 this time instead of the Bridgestone's.

I have not, but I know a couple of people that use them all the time and are happy.

I've used them (twice so far). No issues at all. I do remind them that the tires have TPMS sensors and to be careful not to damage them. First time I brought them the tires, I accidentally left one of the spacers in the tire. They spotted it, retrieved it and gave it back to me.

I use Cycle Gear WHEN they have Elite 4 tires. They do NOT have them in stock now and have not had them since December. Nobody has them in stock that I have found.

The Cycle Gear I use nearby, is fantastic, I get to watch and help them.
Open on Sundays.
They were out of stock, so i brought my own tires in, charged me $25 per wheel anyway.

I've used them 3 times. No problems. The crew at my store is fantastic! Derrick is the manager, treats you like family. Very professional.

Not bad, I just paid $100 for front & rear and a Honda dealer wanted $55 each plus their usual add-ons.

Haven’t priced their tires but I’ll bet one can save $25 per tire on-line..?? Maybe not.

I had Cycle Gear install a new rear tire on my 2019 GW when the original tire needed replacing. They mangled my like new rim. They agreed to replace the rim but it took months for them to pay for the replacement. So I will never let them touch another wheel of mine.

I use them and have always been satisfied.

Note: Not all Cycle Gear locations have the tire changing equipment so call your local store to confirm they do before you go.

I order my tires from them on line, have them shipped to my house for free and take the tire and wheel in when I am ready. Change it while I look around the store for $25. Never a scratch on mine.

True on changing equipment. I shopped local store and all they install tires on are dirt bikes.

I was told 50.00 per tire, I don't know if I would trust them.

Their published policy is “Tires bought elsewhere, $50 to mount and balance”. Tires bought from them, online or in store, $25 to mount and balance.

bob2002 · Aug 4, 2022

For myself what I save by buying online more then pays for mounting and balancing compared to what I see at my local dealer and Cycle Gear.

I recently had them mount new tires for my VFR…..awesome! I would not hesitate using them again.
I bought Perelli Angel GT’s and they were competitively priced within a few bucks +\- of online competitors. Had them shipped to store and paid $25 a tire install and balance. Easy peasy!

I just had my front tire replaced at the dealer.$100 plus tax and old tire disposal feee…the Wingstuff Bridgestone tire was only $195. Wish I could get a tire installed for $25 or $50!

I've used Cycle Gear in Oklahoma City several times and they've always been great. No problems. Make an appointment to make sure it's no waiting. Like other people have said, $25 a tire if you have purchased the tire from them. $50 a tire if you've purchased elsewhere. They rarely have our tires for a decent price so I always buy elsewhere.

Some have great experience with Cycle for tires. I will not bring any tire work to them by me. Bicycle, yes!!! The amount of times mechanics come and go and get trained in about 15 mins after they started is insane. Moreover, look at the faces of those guys. Some look like they just came out of momma's belly. NOPE !!!! Charge me and HONDA dealer here I come. In my area, you don't need to schedule tire change, if you bring the rims. Come in and out, done.

Unfortunanly the days of m/c shops having discounted labor rate for tires customes are mostly long gone. The days of a tire shop trying to make good profit on the tire sale, and very little profit on the installation of them, flipped upside down long ago. The end result is that the customer ends up saving very little by not buying and having them installed where they are purchased from. It's now become more of a hunt game like buying gas. Yes ... of coarse gas is cheeper arcoss town, but ya gotta drive 50 miles to save a few bucks.

Well, I found an E4 rear tire at my dealer. I didn’t ask for the price. I was a bit surprised when I got the bill. $385 installed for the one tire. Made me glance over to the darkside for a minute or two. As for cycle gear, I’ll pass.

My local Honda dealer quoted $750 for new Bridgestones installed for the 2018+
Seems like they are making some good money there.
Next year I'll have to decide on a course of action.
It's a shame nothing is easy.

My advice is buy or make your own tire changer and do it yourself.
