Ask your dealer if there's a price break for buying the tires from him and having him mount them.
My dealer was up front when I asked and quoted $25 per wheel off the bike if I bought from him or $30 each if I brought in the tire with the wheel. Of course when I decided on Avon AV45/46 tires, he was also up front that he couldn't give as good a discount on those as some of the other lines h normally sold. :'( I've had friends get mail order tires that were out of round, so I opted to spend about $10 more and buy through my dealer to avoid similar hassles.
Speaking of the AV45/46 combo - I love them. Good feel, excellent grip, and after 1,000 miles including a recent excursion to the Tale of the Dragon and some other mountain roads, almost no visible wear other than the scuffing in. I've only had the rear spin up a couple of times while hitting paint lines or rough spots leaned over and on the gas. The tire just settles back in without getting all spooky.
