fyi, they went out of business!  their website is still valid, but do not order from them.  apparently they are in trouble with the law.

some guy in arkansas sued them.  apparently motorcycle tire planet has the habit of charging their customers without shipping out the products, and according the the fella down in arkansas, they were ordered to shut down by the court and if you paid via credit card, you shouldn't been charged if they haven't done so, and should pay attention to your future statements if they do charge you.

Are you nuts?  Get on the horn and call them, verify if the tires shipped and if not verify they are out of business and cancel the order.  If parts haven't shipped and you were charged call your CC company and stop the payment.

No I am not nuts.  Just did not have time to type since I was in a hurry to get on the phone.  I will keep you posted as soon as I know for sure what is up.  Credit card company assured me everything would work out.  Now what do I do about tires?

mac-dee,

www.discountmotorcycletire.com

except a lot of their stuff are out of stock, meaning you'll have to wait a few extra days for them.

The tire are a few cents cheaper at MAW Online (http://www.mawonline.com/avon.htm), but the shipping may be more.

Still, it's nice to have 2 sources in case they're out of stock at one place or the other.
