FWIW, that's the old Arizona Motorsports site.   They've expanded quite a bit, and have dealerships from Florida, to California.
 I don't know if they honor the online prices at the dealers, but would be nice!

I just bought a set of Shinko 005 Advance tires from them... only a couple hundred miles so far but extremely happy with all aspects of the tire.

Hey I'm back from installing my Shinko rear tire! Glad its on no more procrastinating for me! I got another week 200+ miles out of it, and i must say these tires are very impressive 7500 miles on the rear and even when you look at the guts of em! The 009 still has a good bit of rubber 2/32's left after it was smooth! Can't say that for other tires close to this $ range! For the low air pressure track rider! the 009 which isn't made for the track, but if, their track tires come off the bead as easy as this one there could be a problem! Bead broke easier than any other I've changed! I cut thru the baldest spot with a razor knife, (check out how much was left) cut to the bead, side cutter the steel! slip new one on with armoral! 45 min job start to finish now I've been thru it 7 times.   :beers:

Hey if you like changing tires in sets get the 005 front with the 009 rear! Almost 9k miles and on 2nd rear and the 009 front is still @ 4/5 32nds!!! No cupping never slips like most cheaper tires, or even some not tooo cheap! I've worn out.. !
