Just for the record, 'cause in a year or so I'll be wondering when I got them....
Ordered from Dennis Kirk, Metezler ME880 Marathon tires front and rear, IRC tubes and even new rimstrips, $231 which may or may not include the $10 tire handling in lieu of shipping which was "free" The rear I mounted the weekend before last, the front I had a bit of trouble so I took it to Vic on Monday and he swapped the new for the old. Did the balancing myself, they're good to under an eighth of an ounce. Have the tire pressures up are Metezler's recomendations, near max, and the bike is noticably more nimble.
24,440 miles on the odometer -- I've gone through three rear tires and two front, tho' the D404 is still looking good and will become a trailer tire.
