its the rear tire on a ninja 250 year 2009whats the average amount the autoshops should charge or whatever those places are called for motorcycles?
150 to 200$ depending on front or rear 20$ for mounting.
The x5 is, I presume, 4x4. Your problems are possibly caused by mismatched tire size. Many 4x4 and AWD vehicles suffer premature wear when people change tire sizes for whatever reason. The tires and wheels you took off are the factory recommended original size, and the system was designed to work with them. It may create a problem if one set of wheels is turning at a slightly different ratio to the other set than factory design. Check with a BMW service centre to see if the differential with the tires you put on is causing the problem. That shouldn't cost you anything, and they should be able to give an answer without seeing the vehicle.
i brought my 2006 bmw 325i to boston herb chambers 3 times last year for noisy tires and each time they told me i had uneven wear likely from pot holes/alignment issues. i didn't buy their explanation at the time because A) i don't hit potholds and B) i get my tires aligned routinely so i just waited until the noise got unbearable recently and i took it to another bmw dealership in peabody and it wasn't until this recent visit that i was told of the problems other customers have been having with the bridgestone tires that came with my car not entirely related to alightment issues (ie: the tires are faulty) and that bmw was willing to help pay for tires if i had less than 20k miles on my car.well too bad i wasn't told the truth about these tires until now that i have 36k miles on my car. i think the bmw dealership in boston was deceitful and not forthcoming with the truth about these tires. i'm surprised there isn't a class action law suit against bmw/bridgestone for the multiple customers who were put out due to this common tire issue. i just can't believe the boston bmw dealership was trying to tell me the noise/uneven wear on my tires was entirely my own fault and never mentioned once about helping me pay for new tires because these bridgestone tires inherently are not good.
best done at a bike shop price depends on make and size of tyre so shop around locally and don't forget to get it / them balanced too.
bmw will cover 100% up to 10k miles and 50% 10k-20k miles. if you have complained about this before at the dealer and they have your repair order with the complaint with 10k or less you would be covered 100%. but at 12k your are only covered at 50%. they have a new improved tires. or you can request a different brand like continetal run flats. i think are better than the bridgestones. it's not the car, it's the tires causing this. i'm just a tech. i don't make the rules and don't always agree with them. try requesting to speak with the FSE at your local dealer. he is the one that can approve 100% new tires. he is the field service engineer and comes around once a month or so.
