Thumbs up Cheapest Tires Online!

Okay guys I have been hunting for tires all day long and found the best deal at bikebandit.com

You get an even better deal if you are an AMA member. I ordered the Dunlop 756 tires and the rear 110/100/18 was $52.00 US $ before my discount.

I use to order stuff from them when I was racing Sport Bikes.

Just thought I would share this helpful info with my dirt bike family.

Has anyone in the US tried out a Dirt Shark (Sakura) tire? Many guys up here use them and are very pleased with the performance and longevity of the rear ones. The are very cheap up here about $50 for the back. Stay away from the fronts, they are no good!

Cladoo, you are correct that the dirtshark is a decent tire as long as you dont use the front. I sell alot of them here.

Talk about fast service with a smile!

I ordered the tires Sunday night and they arrived today at 10:30 AM! I would buy from them again!

The price of the rear with the AMA discount was $49!

Regarding the dirt shark. Yes, it's cheap, but I wouldn't recommend one. I've had much better luck with Maxxis ITs (a little less than double the price, but easily double the life and better traction).

I have had excellent results with both the front and rear Dirtsharks. The rear seems every bit as good as the S-12's I used to run. The front seems to offer nearly as much traction as the s-12 it replaced. The front now has about 1100 hard offroad miles and it is just starting to throw knobs. Last week they clawed up 5000 vertical feet in three miles I have thown knobs off of front tires(m-12s) in less than five rides. The dirtsharks work awesome for me. Don't be afraid of them being made by the ka-ching dynasty in China, they are designed in Taiwan!
