I replaced a set on my old VTX with a set that I got
from J & P. Metzler 880's, off the net.

I've not bought cruiser tires here...yet...but I have bought motorcycle trailer tires and those for my dual sport bike thru this site. They ship really fast and have good prices. Right now they have free shipping too

I am just speaking for myself and I may just be one of the unlucky ones, however the one and only time I have ever purchased anything on the internet and found something wrong with the product, it took them forever to correct the problem and I ended up paying for the return shipping. Now if I can't see or touch the item I want to buy, I will keep shopping.

There are millions of satisfied internet customers out there, unfortunately I am not one of them.

I remember a post about dated tires here. It would be impossible to check the date of manufacture by ordering on the net, thusly possibly getting a tire that is 8 years old or more. Like Swabby, I want to see said tire before I plunk down the bucks. Betty's bike is an 07, and the tires are dated '00. They were new when we bought the bike, but already 7 years old when installed on the Yamaha. Gotta watch that stuff.

I've only bought tires for the KLR online and I mount them myself.  I haven't ordered any for my street bike becasue I'd have to pay to have them mounted and balanced.  Shops don't like to mount other people's tires. Here's where I got 'em, they have some real good prices.

Thanks Everyone,

After many hours of cruising the internet and comparing prices, shipping, tubes,,etc....
I have come to the conclusion that....I WAISTED MY TIME. Ha.
I just went to Xtreme Cycles in Midland and ordered my tires.

After all that trouble I learned that while one site might have a cheaper tire price their shipping will be higher/ or visa versa.

And like one of y'all said if there's any problems it would take forever to correct. Oh well,

Thanks for all of your help.
