Tires... $$$
Based on my last order with aircooled.net, I got parts that were the
same brand, type and even the same retail pack as the parts that I could find for somewhat less with other vendors. AC.net claims that their parts are better, and they might be for some applications. Based on my experience, I just felt my wallet empty a bit more than it probably should have. I got the wrong strut rubber bushing from AC.net, and although I was allowed to return them for a refund John told me that all years for that part were the same, which is not true. He was not aware that the late super front end used a different bump-stop, which I was able to procure locally for less than his price, and they were german to boot. Now..about CIP1. I had a bad experience with them, and it took a lot of wrangling and several phone calls to get my money back on a bum carburetor(two in a row actually, the Pierburg ones with the ill-fitting throttle shafts...both leaked fuel/air around the throttle shaft). In addition, Bob Hoover reported that they ripped him off and refused to give him a refund. Might want to shop elsewhere. As far as reputable vendors go, I've used several. The bughaus(www.bughaus.com), BFY obsolete parts(www.bfyobsoleteparts.com), West Coast Metric(www.westcoastmetric.com), wolfsburg west and so cal imports(www.socalautoparts.com) have all been fair with me. Not sure if any of them sell tires. Also not sure where you are located, but every time I've gone looking for new tires discount tire/big-o tires has gotten them for me(165 sr 15 and 145 sr 15) within one business day. Good luck, Chris |
