American shows they have the Diablo Strada, but I wonder... I've contacted them for stock and they never answered. Do they pay shipping or what's the deal?

There is no one low price provider. I've learned to get a list of several than shop for total price (tire & shipping & other) and see what wins. Guess I'm cheap, but sometimes can't sleep late at night.

well, price IS important, but no BS and the close to best price is better.
SWMoto adverts what they have, not what they don't have, and they ship free for a set within 24 hours. I like that.

Esteemed Mr. Dog, I've only used AmericanMotoTire as a "price match" reference for denniskirk.com who will beat their price by $1., has everything in stock and ships immediately.

I was just wondering if they TOO ship free or something. I just went thru the buying process and the total showed no shipping so I backed out...don't wnat a bid surprise at the end. Just wondering if you knew about the shipping 'sall.

You have to watch Dennis Kirk and their "beat it by $1" deal. They add in extra's and then beat that price by $1. Like freight, COD fees, etc.
I've been buying the Continental RoadAttacks from Southwest Moto and have been very happy. Supposedly Chaparral Motorsports has a connection with Bridgestone and gets their best price, if you want that brand. Or at least that's the excuse Dennis Kirk used when I asked them to "beat by a $1" Chaparral's advertised price in Cycle World once and wouldn't "beat it by a $1"... |

I just bought a set of Diablo Strada's from Southwest Moto for 206 delivered about 2 weeks ago. They were 180-17/55 and 120-17/70. They shipped UPS ground and they got to repoe's in about 4-5 days after i ordered them.

If you buy them online, where are you getting them mounted/balanced?

Sometimes people forget that this is (first and foremost?) a technical forum. There are a lot of threads here on mounting and balancing tires yourself.
