from our distributor moto-garage.com, and
Track Day slicks for low $300s," says Solis.
"The tradeoff for the target pricing is that
these riders are able to either take the set
of tires to their closest service shop to have
them mounted or buy the tools to do it
themselves and not rely on trackside ven-
dors for service and support, which saves
about $40 per set of tires changed."
