    Ironpony motorsports


    June 17th 2009 late am I ordered the C906 and C907 cheng shin hi-max tires online with them. they shipped the tires the same day as they were ordered and I received them the next day via UPS ground.

    the tires came packed packed in a box!
    I don't know about "you'alls" but I have never received tires that were shipped in a box before.

    I had absolutely no issues in my dealings with them. they e-mailed the receipt and included a copy of the invoice in the box I received the tires in. but most importantly I can recommend them...

    additional tire info...
    date codes on the tires that I received were 3508 and 3808
    100/90h1-19 "C9062" front load index 57H
    130/90h1-17 "C9078" rear load index 68H

    I have never experienced their shipping, I just hop on the bike and do the 90-mile ride over there.

    Might have to see if they still have another set of HiMax tires for my freebie 850.

        All tires from Dennis Kirk are shipped in a box. I have heard good things about Iron Pony though.

        2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

        Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

          Its possible you'll never see tires NOT shipped in a box again. I used to be able to UPS, USPS, or FedEx rims (tires or no) with just two peices of cardboard on top and bottom, and then wrapped with celophane and shipping label. UPS and FedEx here wont do that anymore. They simply wont take em. USPS, i dont know, as I only ship with them as a last resort. I dunno if this is a nationwide thing with UPS and FedEx, but i would bet so. E V E R Y T H I N G has to have a box now. Period. Yours, theirs, they dont care, but its got to be in a box or crate of some sort.

            I looked at Iron Pony but decided to go with Dennis Kirk. For the bridgestone spitfires(100/90-19 & 130/90-16), iron pony was $141.98 and dennis kirk was $124.98. I've used dennis kirk before with excellent results. I put the extra money towards some new fork springs.

              From ironpony they were 109.98 shipped. http://www.americanmototire.com/cata...cPath=33_96_97 has them for about $106 shipped.
              It seems like cheng shin started producing the hi-max tire series again after it was claimed that they were being discontinued. AMT didn't show having the sizes I needed a month ago, now they do.

              I don't know if it is the case, it just appears that way to me.
