Most Stealerships will charge you about $60 to remove the old tire from the bike mount the new tire balance it and then re install the tire. At least that is the cost around here in the Denver Area.

Qualifiers are nice, but wear really fast.

Local shop here charges about $50 to swap a tire. Local guy down the street does it for $20 on the bike or $10 off the bike. Track side vendors swap tires for free if your running their brands.

I think 4500 street miles and still riding is pretty good on the Q's. I am still using the same non oem Q's with good luck.

The New Bridgestone BT-015's are even better than the BT-014's and will last longer than the Q's or PP's. Plus you can pick them up cheap when people take them off new bikes for the Q's & PP's. I have done trackdays with the BT-014's and I love them. Bridgestone is the best tire in MotoGP BTW.
