At this point, Rocky Mountain ATV & MC is selling that Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring T30 EVO Tire at far below our cost, so we cannot match the price on that. It may be best to take them up on their current pricing, as I think that is as low as you will ever see those units sold! Sorry for the letdown. If there is anything else we can help with please feel free to reach out. Safe riding, Taylor -- Taylor R. RevZilla.com 877-792-9455 Follow us @RevZilla! But isn't it great that after telling me to F-off "Taylor R." includes his obviously deeply felt concern that I should engage in "safe riding"? That makes it all better, right? (If you want to email him directly Taylor R.'s email address at Revzilla is taylorr@revzilla.com) Your reaction to their price match decline is shockingly unreasonable.

I find their tire prices to be consistently the best whenever I shop for tires, so I go there first but typically check the other usual suspects before pulling the trigger. I've always found them to be good to work with and the shipping is very prompt. They did foul up one order though - shipping a PR2 front and PP2 rear - although in the correct sizes. I know some like to mix those but that was not my intent with that order. I had ordered them in winter and set them aside to mount later as riding weather improved. My fault for not inspecting them upon delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How I read that is they got beat in pricing and they cannot match it, so they basically said the competition has a great price that you should take them up on it. Here I’m thinking they said “We think you’re full of $hit dude, so don’t bother us if you’re just looking to get a cheaper price! Go elsewhere if that’s what you’re looking for!” To me, that’s what being told to F-off looks like. But everyone has their own way of reading between the lines I guess.

To Greg/Walter, I read Taylor's response as the honest truth. Call me crazy. He indicates that RockyMountain is selling the tires below the cost that Revzilla can buy them at. This is not common but not unheard of, either. I can vouch for similar stuff happening in various other industries (bicycling and automobile performance industries/markets, amongst others). I appreciate that you spent $1,500+ with them in 2017 but are they supposed to take a loss on some tires just because you bought from them previously? In whatever line of work or profession you are in, would you be willing to take a loss for a prior customer just because he or she patronized your business/employer at an earlier date? Is that a business model you think is viable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastM Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Why don't you just buy the tire at rockymountainatvmc.com? I don't see the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's what I'm going to do. Remember, I didn't bend Revzilla's arm up behind its back and force it to offer a price match program. (not related to your particular post, but to the overall situation: Revzilla just now got back to me again by email, this time the email was directly from the same guy who approved the price match for wee06, and he was offering to give me the price match on the tire. That's nice but that wasn't all the email said and a lot of the extra verbiage was so sad and corporate-whiner-ish I just can't bring myself to date-rape them with their own policy. So I'll be shopping elsewhere. Moving on, no long term hard feelings, that's just life in America, I wouldn't be where I am today if I was a stay-mad type of bro.)

jhenley17 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I like Revzilla, but being owned by Cycle Gear, I don't care too much about them. Still, I imagine this when I read this response. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsparky Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'm up to 10k miles on my t30 evo's. The rear will only take another thousand or so, and be down to the wear bars. 99% of my riding is highway. They felt great when they were round! Definitely square now. Anyone think the evo gt will help the rear to last a smidge longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted January 27, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 27, 2018 Old thread again... How on earth do you get 10K miles from a rear? Slow speed , light arsed as oppsed to Highspeed fat boy? smotth polished roads / grippy stuff. I can get about 5k from my rear tyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhenley17 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Commuting in Louisiana, I haven't had a tire yet that I got less than 8k out of. I got 11k out of the T30 Evo before the cords poked through. That's with daily full-throttle through first, second, and third at least once, several hard launches, touched the hero pegs a few times, and rarely a day that I didn't top 100 MPH. Still, between all of that is about 80 miles per day of maintaining speed, maybe dropping a gear or two to pass a car or ten, then maintaining speed again.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
