After comparing what's out there I decided to pull the trigger on a pair of Michelin PR4 GT's. I ended up getting them online from American Motorcycle Tire - American Motorcycle Tire. I've been calling shops for quotes to have them mounted and I actually had a shop say they wouldn't because I didn't purchase the tires from them. When I asked why, since they sold Michelin tires, they claimed that online distributors get a lower quality tire. I know some companies like Walmart and Sears have a special model that is different when it comes to things like auto tires, but those are also labeled with a (slightly different) model number from the original. Basically I'm just curious if there is any truth in claim to this, in-store tires are superior to online distributors, or are these shops full of it?
