I assume they don't put their tires on sale, but if you order direct from them out of state no sales tax.

best price I found was ordering thru Summit Racing with drop shipment from Diamondback. That was late last summer

Every now and then I get an email saying about sales. It's just best to call them.

You should be aware that most states have a “use tax” which replaces literal sales tax. Meaning, if you order from out of state and don’t pay any sales tax, you owe the use tax amount to your state.

Check your state’s specific rules, but generally not paying sales tax means you will owe it anyway.

They have a Black Friday sale every year. Usually free shipping which they normally charge $200. I'm a fan of there tires. Marv

Which DB tires are y’all buying ?

I keep looking at their line up and don’t see the 7/8” or 3/4” WW width on the tires I think work for a C2….
  • am I looking from wrong WW width ?
  • does DB have WW widths not listed on their web?

what am I missing ?

You tell them what size and color you want.

I like like the look and handling of my Auburn ( house brand) tires from them.

I like the redline type. Undecided between the Auburn which is rated at 600AB or the Diamondback touring tire rated 700AA which is a Uniroyal Tiger Paw. Same price for either.
Three week lead time from Diamondback, no tax but 180 shipping. Summit has the Touring tire in stock can have it by Wensday free shipping but will charge 80 tax. I wonder how fresh Summit tires are.

I saw on Facebook that Diamondback had a $20 off per premium tire coupon. I think the offer expires on June 20th.
