I normally ride Metzlers but they have gone crazy on prices - about double the Shinkos.That's a good deal. My current set is Shinkos, they are toast.
I compared road 4s on Revco and Pete's beat them in overall pricing by 5$. Not that it matters much but given the option, I chose to save those 5 bucks and ordered from Pete's lol.
Edit: Shipping was fast, they used UPS. Ordered on Friday night and delivered on Monday afternoon.
Well I think I made a mistake. The Revco website said the tires shipped from Sherbrooke (near Montreal) on the 12th, should have been here on the 15th. An update today says they are now scheduled for delivery on the 26th.Made the buy at lunch, just got notice they just shipped.

They supplied a long tracking number but no carrier info until today. Today the supplied a Dicom tracking number, Dicom says the goods have not left Revco.
I'm ok with late. Not ok with delivering multiple bogus tracking numbers.
I don't think this was shipping as the item was released to the carrier on the 19th.Jeez, you can get stuff faster from Europe than you can within Canada?
I got a tracking number from Germany on May 5, and it arrived on the 16th.
Another from the Netherlands on April 19th and arrived on the 23rd. Only 4 days!
And now that I recall, an air filter from Italy also only took 4 days.
I order tires from Pete’s Superbike in Montreal. They’re usually delivered within 3-5 business days at most, and they’re cheaper than anywhere else I’ve discovered.I don't think this was shipping as the item was released to the carrier on the 19th.
They were ordered from Revco on May 11, they arrived yesterday, May 24. Can't say I'm thrilled with the turnaround time, but I'll give them another chance as their customer service was good.
I also ordered 2 tires from FortNine on May 11, they arrived May 13.
Pretty sure all these vendors re-sell what is distributed by Parts Canada. I usually get the part # from the catelog and call GP or HD to get pricing, stock levels and when they can get it in. F9 sometimes has items in their own warehouse so it will ship quicker.I ordered a tire from GP Bikes last week. They matched Pete's price. They said it wasn't in stock so would have to order it from their supplier (Kimpex) and it might take a few days. It was at my door the next day!
I think we get pretty good service from Pete's, Fortnine and GP. I' ve used them all for various things over the years. I try to order from Canadian vendors whenever possible.A friend ordered a tire from GP Bikes and it arrived 2 days later.
Gonna try them tomorrow. Friend needs tires for a big ST. I'll report on the turnaround.I order tires from Pete’s Superbike in Montreal. They’re usually delivered within 3-5 business days at most, and they’re cheaper than anywhere else I’ve discovered.
