Unless you mount them yourself expect a $25 or better to mount off the bike. Depending on where you are in the country.
I am currently running Michelin Commanders, balance well, cost effective, work well and handle well. The only drawback about the Metzlers is after the front wears it handles poorly and the rear gets the flat spot it to wanders on tar snakes. Sure they last a long time but the last 3rd is just a bit to much. I am cheap so I wear them down to the last mm/ 1/32.
I continue to search for the holy grail of tires, reasonable price, handling, wear. I tried Perellis Rt66 they a short lived but are not to bad, they cost half as much as a Metzler and last 1/2 as long.
We have a local shop that well meet any online price and mount them for $18 each.
