hey
i got the tire warranty on my bike. my front has been cupping for a while now, but no fix under warranty. the tires have 13k on them. tires will cost 700$ ish installed
all the people i ride with say put a screw in them or a nail in front and rear tires , then pull the nail put a plug in it and go the the dealer for the replacements.

has anyone done this??


i`m kinda pissed the front has a defect and they wont fix. the front should last longer than the rear? but my front is wore more.

 

someone has thought of this

 

Note to self...Never do business with ranman469.

 

Man, just buy your tires online, take the dismounted wheels to a metric dealer and ask them to put on the new tires for you. Save about 400 bucks that way.

And instead of figuring out a way to cheat someone out of a set of tires, find out what the cause is. More than likely the front was not balanced and that's why it cupped.

 

i only asked due to the posts i have read around here where some have said they never pay for tires with the warranty, they also stated that their dealer told them to put a screw in the tire.

thats why i asked who has done this?

i have not done it so dont judge me for asking a ??

you guys are right. its a stupid selfish idea!, thanks for pointing it out.

i`m going to ride the rear and see how far it will go.

 

13 thousand miles on your tires and you expect to get new ones for free because you bought a warranty?

 

Do you get your service done from an indy??? I have been getting my service done from an Indy from day 1 and all I do is bring my bike in and he replaces them and puts the claim in for me. Next up is some new rims! I think I might have hit a curb or something. He has done other "warranty" work for me also. The best thing I bought was the extended warranty (7 years).

 

Warranties are pro rated on tires, at 13,000 miles maybe get some thing?
