Tires
Yesterday, before noon, I ordered tires from Rocky Mountain ATV. The tracking info says I'll have them tomorrow! I couldn't find the tires cheaper and the shipping is free. I'm a repeat customer, and for good reason.

That's ironic....I ordered tires for my STeed from Keel Bros........in Atlanta and got them at my door 2 1/2 days later. Maybe need to swap living locations......Originally posted by jetmechmarty View PostYesterday, before noon, I ordered tires from Rocky Mountain ATV. The tracking info says I'll have them tomorrow!

+2, I was AMAZED!! Ordered the tire from MS on Thursday morning, it showed up Friday afternoon. I figured it was a glitch in the calculator or something, cheapest price, free shipping, and i arrives next day. Winner winner chicken dinner!!
Seems every once in a while Steve's quote is wrong, Cheap, Quality, and Fast all at the same time.
Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

For me, it came down to this. It's easier to find what I want at RMATV. The Superstore website makes me work for it. I do shop there, and I have never had anything but good experiences there.Marty (in Mississippi)

As I said, it is a good option Marty. I may use them in the future.
I found it no more difficult to find what I was looking for on MS than RM.
Maybe because I'm used to it. Been using MS for years.Greg

Plan ahead
I get my tires from the local bike shop because my wife gets a real good discount there.
I don't much care how long it takes to bring them in because I buy them in midwinter.Fred Hill, S'toon

I want to buy from the local bike shop. I tried. My tires are on the shelf. I'm willing to pay extra, just to do business there. $50 to $75 extra is a lot more than I'm willing to help them out.Originally posted by fredintoon View PostMarty (in Mississippi)

Cycle Gear here in town will match any online price, But I hate waiting. Since I've started buying my tires online (Bike Bandit), I love the real short delivery time. I think the longest I had to wait was 3 days and that was due to the 4th of July.
Next time I ready to buy, I'm gonna check out RMATV. Thanks Marty. (and MS Superstore too)
The SG is gonna need a new rear before XS SE. Might as well get a new rear for the G too. (even though he's not going anywhere right now)Hi, my name is George & I'm a twisty addict!

Hi Tod,Originally posted by trbig View PostLOL.. Sorry, Fred, but I can't help reading more into that than probably meant.. lol.
and I thought I had a dirty mind.
OK then, before you get too excited or catch pneumonia in the cold shower I'll spell it out for you.
My local bike shop is part of a conglomerate of Saskatchewan-based vehicle sales and service operations.
My wife works in the head office finance department.
Every employee gets a discount at any of their establishments.
Which is why I can afford to shop local for bike tires, why we bought a Hyundai instead of another GM vehicle when the Buick died and why our younger son is trying to save up the discount price of a Ducati.Fred Hill, S'toon

American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) gives you a code for 10% off Bike Bandit, but those usually don't apply towards tires. You might check.Originally posted by GLoweVA View PostTry your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.
