Got this auto response from him today...

Hello i am back ,but while in floirida i had a crash on the racetrack,
i have a broken left arm and wrist, i spent all day in the hospital wednesday, i am coming in to do alot of shipments thursday,
friday i am getting pins installed in my arm, my main concern now is to get as many orders as i can out asap, tracking numbers will be sent by email.
if you do not recive one it will be early next week, please bare with me on this, i will not answer emails till monday or tusday, my priority is to get the orders out.
emails requesting "where is my order?" have big chances of not being responded at all due to the enormous amount of orders and other emails, all orders will be shipped out,
this mishap was not planed,
i crashed on my last outing on the track on monday and drove back to montreal with broken arm and wrist, just went to the hospital today wednesday,
thank you for your understanding and patience

This is not the only message I got, everything was explained to me before, but man, crashed then packed up and drove two days to get to hospital.
YIKES

Ouch, that would have been a rough trip home. They definitely are shipping orders, I received an order from him on the 16th. After reading that response I am really impressed

Is ti cool to mix and match tires? In 2010 Spring I put on new Bridgestone Battlax 180/55ZR17 (REAR) & 120/70ZR17 (FRONT). I rode about 500 miles on them, then about August 2011 I put a sheet metal screw right thru the back tire ruining it. I won't patch it and ride on it. My question is can I get a different tire like Shinko 180/55zr 17 "011" model and keep the front I have on? If there's a good deal on a set of new tires I will just replace both and offer the gently used front for cost of shipping to someone on the board.

I won't patch it and ride on it.

Why not? Unless it is in the sidewall, plug / patch and go.

Running different tires can be a problem. Unless the profiles are similar it could produce strange handling. I've also heard different tread patterns can be an issue in the wet.

Chaparral Motorsports Ebay store has Brigestone BT016's at good prices with free shipping. I've bought from them before with no issues.

Take a look at the links I posted for Chaparral Motorsports Ebay store. They also have good prices on individual tires if you want to use up your front tire.

I'm just too scared to plug, patch & go. Doesn't seem "worth it" to risk it failing at speed. Maybe if I was a bachelor, or 20 I'd risk it, but with a wife and trying to start a family and finally having my shiat together. It just makes sense to me to get a fresh one. Call it ounce of prevention.

I have Battlax BT-021 tires. 180/55ZR-17 M/C

Probably gonna order this one, looks like about $130 shipped, anyone have any feed back on this company? Cupons? I don't know if calling and dropping Reuben's name is "wise"...

No! Definitely don't mention my name! I'd give you feedback on the company but it would be biased.... Unfortunately with tire prices we are so close to the wire coupons and discounts aren't going to happen. BUT, if you do order from us, you'll get great service and fresh tires Seriously if you need any help with anything just let me know.

[BubbaTheKid]

Ok Reuben, I took a chance on your company, ordered online, put your name down in the order comments section. Order # 383061. I'll letcha know how it goes. And thanks for the other comments too, as always, I appreciate the collective. Now, do I smoke show the tire with the screw in it or just take it off and recycle it.

[BubbaTheKid]

Yo Reuben, your buddy "Dave" @ compacc.com called to say my BT-021 tire is out of stock/no longer offered by Bridgestone and upsold me to the BT-023 for $17 bucks more which should ship today. That price is pretty much comparable to the other places I e-shopped. Anyway, I asked if he knew you, he said he did and would give you a shout out for me.

[NitroRoo]

Good deal man glad he was able to help you out!

[flying dave]

Yo, Ruby Tuesday,

Just ordered a pilot power rear from Dave. Told him to tell you that Flying Dave said to kiss his ass........

[NitroRoo]

See you in two weeks
