My neighbour needs new tires for his Africa Twin.  Anyone have suggestions for tire supply and install places?

Thanks.

  My best prices for supply and install have been from Eddie at EMS, Essential Motorcycle Service.

  Last time I rode over there with my 1200 GS, I  took the wheels off one at a time in the parking lot, let him carefully install the new tires. As is the case with a lot of suppliers, as long as you buy the tires off them, you can expect a free install/balance if you supply wheels off of the bike.

  I do know the close 3 months a year during off season. Pretty sure they are open February 1st.

ITC Tire / Wheelsport in Surrey.

Eric is a stand-up guy and his prices are the same as Fortnine but you get to support a local business instead of a drop-shipper.
