[EDIT: Personally, I buy online . . . I buy for grip (some compromise for a slightly extended wear by getting Z6 roadtecs instead of M1 sportecs) . . . I like Metzelers . . . and I pay the shop to M&B off the bike.
I plan on buying a home tire changer and doing it myself from now on. Just gotta' get the gumption built up to start the project.
