Tires from Amazon? (Cult of Dualsport)

Tires from Amazon?

The Pirelli MT 90 -- an 80% street tire, and not for me -- is the best selling dualsport tire from Amazon.com. The 80/90S-21is $57.99, while over at Tires Unlimited the same one is $69.15.

When did this happen? Tires from Amazon? It must have been during my recent hiatus. Also available are IRC, Bridgestone, Dunlop and Continental.

Sorry, nothing from Kenda, Cheng Shin, Maxxis, Michelin or Metzeler.

Where do you shop for tires?

Great job with the store on your site!
