10ovr Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Check out DERBYCYCLES.COM,,They had the best price on PR2s Link to comment
stubble! Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I've recently ordered tires through swmoto, derby cycles, and motorcycle-superstore. All satisfactory experiences. Link to comment
smiller Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The prices look really good on the Derby Cycles site but when I checkout there is no shipping added, 'Total' and 'Grand Total' figures are always the same. Is shipping free on all orders, or do they add whatever shipping charges they want to the order without telling you, or..? Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Just ordered a set of PR2's last night. Motorcyle Superstore had the cheapest total price, at the expense of them taking an extra day or two to get here. SWmoto and Derby always had me my tires whithin two days of ordering. I always check all 3 and order from the cheapest. Link to comment
mos Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Denis Kirk ....... set of PR2 for the R1200RT with "B" rear fitment tire. $306. to my door Link to comment

I always check all 3 and order from the cheapest. I ordered mine a week or 2 ago from SWM. MSS was actually more for my PR2s. Since SWM made good on a defective avon with 3K miles on it, he gets my business. I find MSS takes 7-9 days for my orders to arrive. Link to comment
SKYGZR Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I find MSS takes 7-9 days for my orders to arrive. That would be about right from OR to NJ, yet one should have new skins available WAY B4 actually needed!! Link to comment

boatzo Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I got my ME 880s on ebay at different times over a 3 month period. If you have the time to look it can be worth it. The date codes were good also, but you never know for sure. Link to comment
johnlt Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I live in Tucson and switched from swmototires to the local BMW dealer because their prices were better. Their webisite is: http://emototires.com/ Once swmototires sold out to the local Honda dealer, their prices went up. Link to comment

The best part is that supporting the site supports the BMW Dealer (Iron Horse) owner. Link to comment

Derby went up about $20 bucks on the rear tire,+25 bucks shipping to AZ,$325,total,,,,Motorcycle supper store went back down,,$307 to the door,,,for PR2s Link to comment

migrant Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Not normally the price leader, their sale makes them one of the lowest on 5 brands, with free shipping on orders >$75. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/123/MNGR/Motorcycle-Tires.aspx Link to comment

Bheckel169 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Went to MSS to order some Pilot Roads and got through the entire order process but did not see a place to enter the code you gave us. Am I missing something? Bruce Link to comment
AdventurePoser Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I called them on their toll free line and simply gave the code verbally to the woman who took my order....an easy twenty saved! Steve Link to comment

Am I missing something? Bruce It's on the second screen in the checkout process, after you login or enter your info, but before you place the order. Link to comment
wbrissette Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 http://www.swmototires.com/ Wow, their prices have gone up recently. Seems that they are now about $20-$30 more per set than a lot of the places I checked recently. I know a few people have mentioned them raising prices, I just didn't think it was by much.

superdiamond Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Just ordered a set of Metzlers last night for 286 from MSS. I love the ease and reliability! Link to comment

Wayne I only compared SWMT to MSS. Since it was within a few $$, and the owner of SWMT was decent on that defective front Avon I had, I decided to give him the business. Had he not taken care of me in the past, I would not have bought from him again. Link to comment

My new tires that I installed last week came from them. Link to comment
MrHondamatic Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I just bought a new Metzler Roadtec Z6 rear from Dennis Kirk. It was $153 and change, to my door. Other places (SWMT included) were higher and charged extra for shipping. YMMV Link to comment

Had he not taken care of me in the past, I would not have bought from him again. Except that just FYI you didn't buy from him again. The SW Moto business was sold a few months ago to a local Honda dealership (upon which there was a coincidental raise in pricing.) Link to comment
wsg112 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I was surprised to find that JC Whitney had conti road attacks for my R1200rt (Specific BMW fitment). $210.37 shipped to my home in approximately 3 days!! Don't forget to search for and enter their current promo code. Link to comment

Tell me about it. I just ordered some new shoes for my Uly and found that Zabor's, a local establishment, can actually beat SW Moto's pricing. That never use to be the case. Wayne Link to comment

Wayne So just to make sure....the guy that helped me out last year with my Avon, is no longer the owner (I believe his name was Nick). If this is the case, I wont feel the need to be loyal Link to comment
BFG Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 +1 Got my last 2 sets of Metzeler 880's from Dennis Kirk. Link to comment
Tony31138 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/ Just had a set of ME880's delivered for $288. If anyone can top that, I would love to hear about it. Link to comment
