Looks like if you have any outstanding orders with these guys you're SOL. Too bad too...I got really good service when I bought my first set of Pirellis through them.

That explains why I couldn't get to their website the other day.

I really was wondering about their tire prices. I work at a large dealer and DMTA's advertised prices were within a few dollars of our dealer cost. I never understood how they could do it.

I guess they couldn't.

Nope, it was the lien holder. Someone wasn't paying their bills it seems.

I'd been following this on Sporttwin. In January DMTA claimed they were robbed by a former partner. When you went to their sight the said they were temporarily down due to a warehouse change. Looks like the reality is that they weren't paying their bills and the collection man cameth and taketh away!

Let this be a lesson to those who think undercutting everyone is a good business model!

You're kidding right. Wal-Mart is going to sell motorcycle tires. Yahoo.

As a local DMTA customer, I was damn happy to have a place that sold good tires cheap, installed them for $16, and stocked a crapload of brands. Back to the rice rocket shops I guess. : (

I was very impressed with their prices. Saved me about $100 per tire when I got my new set of Metzlers. Too bad...

I got my Scorpions there a couple of months ago.
$208 to my door (front & rear), fast service, etc.
At the time most of our Buell dealerships didn't even stock the Scorpions (even though they sold CityX's).

I'll miss them.

I bought EVERY single piece of gear through them ... all my friends bought tires through them. I didn't even have to haggle on prices when I went to the store...the price they would quote me would destroy the competition. And they were nice!

Tis a shame but doesn't bother me as I believe in supporting my local dealers.

I don't spend that much more but I do have the satisfaction of building a relationship that will benefit me when I need their help the most.

Locally tire prices can be devestating if you walk into a store. I am talking $20-$30 HIGHER then internet AFTER shipping. Even Metro which is owned by the same group that does AZmotorsports.com is generally $20-$30 higher then whats shipped from their online dealer.

And that's if you shop around... My local Honda dealer wanted OVER $200 per tire for Metz M1's...
