Tire Vendor - Your recommendation

[FLTRI05]

I've used American Moto Tire for the last 3 sets and have had good experiences with them, but they've moved to AZ and am not sure if the same people own it. Who do you buy yours from? I'm looking for Metz ME 880's..

Thanks.


PS. Will a 150/80H16 fit on the back of my RG?

I've had really good experiences with jakewilson.com and ronayers.com

One of them is having a Metz clearance sale right now, although I don't remember which one.

I just bought a pair of 880xxl from them and it was no different than any other purchase from them in the past.

From Ron Ayers website:

i just went thru finding tires for my 02 rk. i switched to 140/70 18 and i had metzler me880's on. when i went to replace them found out metzler stopped making that size due to tire not handling the load. thats what happned to my rear....it split apart in the thread area. well anyway i went with avon am-26  from dennis kirk for $125.00 each...not bad compared to $200.00 plus

I use Ron Ayers pretty much all the time. I believe they just announced free shipping again ! That's a $24 savings right there. I've always got my tires in 3-4 days with them.

Thanks for all the help. I ordered from AMT in the past and thought they did a good job for me, just wanted to make sure nothing's changed. Both the wife's and mine needed new rear skins so now we'll be set for any wet stuff coming our way.
