Anyone had any dealings with "American Motorcycle Tire".

A little better price than SWmoto inc shipping.

Haven't decided yet where I may buy at.

I know that SWmoto delivers free with 2 tires, but I only need 1 right now.

I cant tell you anything about them, I always use motorcycle superstore, (Address is motorcyclesuperstore.com) for my tires, shipping is free on any order over 75.00, always great service, and when i have called with a question, they were very helpful and knowledgeable. I have always had my tires within two or three days...

Thanks for the tip.

I've dealt with Mc superstore in the past for gear and whatnot but I hadn't considered them for tires before.

The Avon tire that I'm looking at was a fair amount higher from them.

I'll e-mail them about tire shipping rates. Reading they're shipping policy fine print, tires are excluded from the free shipping offer.

I'm a motorcycle superstore fan too. I think they shipped me tires free. I also think they price match.

+1 for MC superstore. I bought tires for a K75 last month and shipping was free.

I bought my Battery Tender Junior from them, I called and they matched the price I had gotten at JC Whitney. Everything went great except they started spamming my e-mail almost immediately, I had to write and ask them to stop. Who knows who else has it now Sad

So, ask them to price match, but use a throwaway yahoo e-mail address. As for JC Whitney, never, never, never ever again.

I use AMT all the time, they do charge shiping, however the tire prices are far less than any others who 'ship free'......best just to compair...

I order a lot of tires, and they always have Fresh rubber at the lowest cost.

I tried AMT once, and never heard from them. They obviously never received the order. I used to buy tires from Blaine at SWMototires, but since he sold to the Honda shop, I've bought from Motorcycle Superstore.
