Default Is Bike Bandit Out Of Business?

Been trying for 2 days and can't get them on the phone. I was trying to purchase new tires. Any recommendations for a good tire dealer? Thanks.

I just got an email from Bike Bandit with the current specials...didn't try to contact them though...

See if Rocky Mountain ATV has the tires you're looking for. http://www.rockymountainatv.com/type...amp;webCatId=8 I do a lot of business there, and that's where I got my K270s.

RMatv does have the TM II's and it's free shipping on orders over 100$....2 tires i think brings you close...to get it over that get yourself a pair of the ARC back country gloves for 24.95$ and you'll be thanking me for the rest of the winter....warmest super thin gloves you'll ever own.
43.99 for the rear TM II (110/100 x 18) and 30.99$ for the 80/100 x 21 size. good price IMO.

I've been considering the Kenda K270 also. Any Feedback? I can't seem to find the 80/100 x 21 on their site.

I tried dealing with Bike Bandit and the name fits, they ripped me off. Wrong tires sent and totally unresponsive. I payed more through Dennis Kirk, but at least got what I ordered.

this is exactly why i won't deal with bb anymore. i really would like to talk to a human being when i have a direct question, not that live chat bs. i had to ask my live chat salesperson for a phone number. it went right to voicemail with no return call after two days of trying. i asked him while live chatting to answer the phone, that is me ringing and got nothing, just a looooong pause. well because my question never was answered i was shipped out the wrong part (shipping was really quick with usps i must say). i returned it (at my own expense) and was also charged the restocking fee. not worth my time arguing, i could be riding, so i let them have my restocking fee and return shipping $$$$, but they lost a customer. i received great customer service over the phone from motosport outlet. i never compared their prices, and truly i didn't care over a few bucks, i was just glad to get good service.

Gerry,

I bought the 3.00x21 K270 (stock size) for the front, but haven't mounted it yet so I can't comment.

I needed a rear tire bad. Igot the 5.10x18 K270 (instead of the 4.60x18) because the stock size was not in stock at the time and I didn't want to wait. I don't have many miles on it yet, but so far I like how it handles both on and off road. I consider it a very good 50/50 tire. I like the slightly larger footprint of the 5.10, I don't imagine I'll ever go back to the 4.60.
