I shop around for price and availability when looking for a tire {or anything else for that matter}. Had a good result from Eastern Performance Cycles and JP. Both times fresh tire with no tax or freight. Last tire {another Metzler ME 888}, Dennis Kirk had a great price. I placed the order specifically asking for a fresh {Dot code} tire. The tire they sent was a year old. They actually confirmed my suspicion that the great price was based upon their buying up a large order of stale tires... nice way to do business.
I ride about 15,000 miles a year so while it was pure BS that they sent a stale tire I kept it. This was the third and last time I will ever try and do business with DK. Tired of being lied to, absolutely NO customer service, so sorry I gave them two more chances to get it right... they didn't. Lots of folks use them... I wish you continued success but never again for me.
anyone have a good online tire store that you have delt with
Choose the brand tire you want and shop. I bought a set of Avon Cobras (200/55 17" and 90/90 21") for $205 shipped. A set of these tires usually sell for up to $315, depending on where you buy them. No one website has the best price on all tires. One site might have Pirelli's for less than other sites, but charge more for Avons. Sometimes these companies are overstocked or have some tires that are moving slow and they knock the price down quite a bit. I was a little concerned about the super low price and thought these tires might be old but the manufacturing date on them was just a few months old. FWIW I bought these tires a year ago this month.
When I compare prices for tires these are the sites I mostly look at.
