I agree; that's why I picked this one that I was familiar with. The vendor is disclosed under the price on Amazon. I wouldn't use a small shop I'd never heard of for any rubber parts.

Like a bonehead I ordered the wrong size from Revzilla and they took them back, no questions asked. Great to work with

I used this https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/ was cheaper than revzilla. Out of all of the sites that i used to check on tire prices, Rockymountainatv was the lowest

Motorcyclesuperstore had a set on my front porch the next day one time. I have used them several times. I usually Google the brand and size I want, see what comes up. Never had a stale one show up, but if I do I will call the credit card Co and cancel payment if the seller wont make it right.

I just bought a AMERICAN ELITE for the front of my limited. JP cycles had the best price. Fast shipping and a new date code. My indie recommended them, so thats what I did. Nice having new rubber, I got 21,000 miles on my factory front tire.

J&P. No hassles ever.
I expect freshly minted and check build date on side of the tire. Ususally no older than several months. I have bought at least a dozen.
I now have a Harbor Freight motorcycle tire changing machine and one of their static motorcycle tire balancers.
For an extra ten bucks I put super low friction skateboard bearings into the balancer and it is very sensitive to even a tiny bit off balance.
I don't trust ANYBODY to service my tires/wheels as the dealer set the neck bearings wrong on my Deuce.
Then a different dealer set the axle bearings wrong.
Then that dealer was asked to break the bead on an oversize rear wheel (too much for spoons!) and instead he stole my supplied racing valve off the wheel and by putting on some leftover broken mismatched junk from his bench he managed to mount it leaking out the valve big time and with the wrong size nut holding it on!
The valve then fell INSIDE the wheel which went flat.
Thankfully it happened in my garage.
Luckily I love tinkering with my bike and have a good time changing bearings and tires and forks and cams and, and, and.

My last set of Avon's Revzilla price matched Jakewilson's. Got a front and rear for less than 300 and free shipping.

Used Bike bandit this past summer when I got tires for the limited. Dennis Kirk was close in price but I live in MN and sales tax would have been about $30 on that order.
