I just wanted to know what kind of experience you guys have had with East Kentucky Tire before I order from them. They have a great price for a set of 4 ITP 589's. $274.50 shipped to my house.

Are they a good company to do business with? I think they have a new name of ATV Direct.

 

Yes, they are very good folks to deal with.

 

Thanks Weedy, that good to know.

 

A week ago I poked a serious hole in my well-worn stock Dunlops, and with a 7-day high mountain backcountry trip only a week away, I decided to order a set of the new Maxxis Bighorn radials. I checked everywhere I could, and BigBuck and ATV Direct had competitive prices, with everybody else higher. BigBuck's shipping was considerably higher to my North Idaho address, and they didn't have the tires in stock when I called. ATV Direct quoted me $319 for the set, shipped to my door.

>> The day I ordered the Bighorns, John Perry at ATV Direct went to extra trouble to meet my special request that they were shipped that same day (at no extra charge.) I ordered on a Thursday afternoon, and they shipped from a Louisiana warehouse that same afternoon. Delivery date was estimated as being today, Thursday 9/11.

>> The shipping warehouse had computer problems, and John and Kenny and the other folks at ATV Direct were unfailingly polite and encouraging as I worried them twice daily for tracking numbers. Extremely nice folks - and they repeatedly assured me that I'd get the tires in plenty of time for this weekend's backcountry trip.

When I got home Tuesday night (9/09), my new Bighorn Radials were stacked on my front doorstep -- TWO DAYS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE !!

Awesome rubber! Awesome service!

And to make it even sweeter, my e-mails to Maxxis for info on sealant use (Slime!), roadside repairs (plugs), and recommended tire pressures were answered the same day.

Add to that list: Awesome customer support from the manufacturer!!
I sure hope I like the tires as much as I've been pleased by the overwhelming prices, service, and support from ATV Direct and Maxxis.

 

How do find their website? I tried atvdirect.com, atv direct.com, ATVDirect.com and can't find 'em. Do they even have a web site?
thanks.
