| Description of the problem | I purchased front and rear tires from an avon vendor at sturgis, nd in aug 2010. 200 miles later, on my way home, the front tire blew at 70mph. After nearly crashing i managed to get the bike to come to a stop. After receiving a tow i called david alari, the dealer who sold and installed the tires. All i wanted was my money back for the front tire and reinstallation ($256). He would only give me excuses. I will voice my disgust to all who will hear, especially next year at david's sturgis location, how badly i was treated and how dangerous your product is. |
