Member Contributer tbzep Posted February 26, 2006 Member Contributer Posted February 26, 2006 Edit: Sorry for the repeat post. I didn't see Synaptic Misfire's post. There used to be a delete option for my posts. WTF happened to it? Pirelli is again doing their free front tire promotion, this time with the Strada. Buy a Diablo Strada rear and get a front tire for $25 shipping. This time they have a real time counter on their website so that people won't get shafted when Pirelli runs out of tires. 865 tires remain to be given away at the moment I'm typing this. I was dead set on trying Pilot Powers this time around. Thanks to several on this forum who helped steer me that way, but I will have to wait until the next set to try the Powers. I couldn't pass up this offer, because I've saved about $90 over the Powers. Pirelli Diablo Strada 120/70 - 17 clicky Quote
Guest greene222 Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 tbzep, (or anyone else in this deal) Did you get your free tire yet? I just sent off for my free front tire...they say there are like 530 left. Quote
Member Contributer ProMed Posted March 9, 2006 Member Contributer Posted March 9, 2006 Isent my receipt out yesterday as well. The offer ends March 22nd. Quote
Guest Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Did you guys buy local or online? If online, from whom? I can't find local dealers who stock the tire or really wanna order it for me. Quote

You want to scoop them up and bring them to Daytona tomorrow (10 March) and I'll buy them from you!? Just kidding...unless you're going to Daytona Friday... :thumbsup: Edited March 9, 2006 by mq105 Quote

Otherwise I would...of course I'd look funny riding across the state with a couple of tires strapped to my back. Quote
Member Contributer oyama Posted March 9, 2006 Member Contributer Posted March 9, 2006 Of course you would look funny riding with a couple of tires strapped to your back. You should wear them around your waist you silly! :D The more tire you pile up the more safer you would be in case of a spill. :idea3: Otherwise I would...of course I'd look funny riding across the state with a couple of tires strapped to my back. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote

Guest Wingspan Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 I mailed my form to Pirelli yesterday. Man, I just bought tires for a bike I don't even own yet. Quote

Guest 767fixer Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 i got the confirmation that my credit card has been charged, couple more weeks and i should have em' Quote
vfr781 Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Somebody posted before that Pirelli had to receive the paperwork by March 11th, so I held off. Now someone posted it is until the 22nd. I did not see any end dates on the Terms and Conditions and have emailed Pirelli twice with no response. Very unprofessional. Anyone know for sure? By the way, I had to get my then new Metz Z6 to where I was going to mount it so I wrapped it in saran-wrap and put it around my waist. I'm sure I got many wierd looks as I zoomed by people, but I didn't care. I don't know if one would even fit around my spare tire now! I don't have any digital pics but I will try to scan the regular ones. Quote
Guest greene222 Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 I just heard that when they are out of tires the promotion will end. Just checked and there are 508 more to go...c'mon snail mail, get my letter in! Yesterday there were 540, so looks like another two weeks to get in there. Quote

I bought my tire and did the form on the website on 3/7 and it told me I had until 3/21 to get the papers to them. Quote

I'm good to go now. I figure they will take their time and ship it in a couple of weeks. Quote
Guest NJ02VFR Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 504 tires left are they as good or better than the stock meltzer M4's,want to get them before there gone don't have time to research Quote
Guest Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Sent in my form last Wednesday, they validated my account this Wednesday. They give you 14 days after you fill out the online info. No idea how quick they will ship the front? Quote
Guest Ikazuchi Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 I did this deal... got my rear tire on already...waiting for the front. They said they approved my front tire on 3/4 and that the tire should ship 4 business days later. We'll see when it gets here. Quote
Guest 767fixer Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 dont bet on them shipping fast. been over 4 days since my card cleared and status still shows i will be emailed a tracking number when tire ships Quote
