I've never had to mention Revzilla/Cycle Gear prices, because the local guys and gals have never quoted me a price above minimum advertised price (MAP).
Cycle Clinic in Des Moines has been giving us good prices on tires since 1988.
I don't bother asking the price I just call and tell him what we want and he orders them if he does not have them in stock.
He's 70 miles away and I don't mind the drive because he's always good to us.
The closest place for us to buy tires and have them mounted is 30 miles.
Last month I was concerned when I called Cycle Clinic and the phone was not not answered for a couple days and Google showed Temporarily Closed.
I road up to see if there was a sign on the door and there was one showing closed for medical emergency.
A few days later when he was feeling better he called me because I had tires waiting and explained what was up.
I told him I was fine with waiting while he got caught up with the back log. Think I'll call today.
