Michael Jackson Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) well just called ITP, been plannin on doin it for a while.... what a fuckin waste, the guy on the phone was a total douche bag, smart ass little jerkoff to me,, basically told me that i need to SEND THEM THE TIRES BACK, so they can "inspect" them... i told the guy id send him a picture of the egg sized buldge int he sidewall and he said no he needs to see them physically in front of him, or i can take them to a liscensed dealership, and PAY THEM to dismount my tires, and check the inside and outside and verify that what im saying is true.. THERES A HUGE FUCKIN LUMP STICKIN OUT THE SIDE AND ITS ABOUT AS THIN AS A CONDOM! WHAT MORE PROOF DO THEY NEED, so basically i can either pay $100 for a yamaha dealer to unmount them and say "yea these tires are fucked" or i can spend $30-40 in shipping to send them back to ITP and probably have them tell me its my fault somehow.. so either way, im fucked, ITP can suck my sweaty nuts, the guy on the phone witht he biggest smart ass ,know nothing, douche bag that ever worked in customer service, its so eaSY to be a smart ass over the phone!!!!im fuckin livid Edited April 16, 2008 by Michael Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of terrain do you ride in, MJ? I've been thinking about getting some of those in the future, and I've heard good things and bad about them. I ride in different stuff (sand, hard pack, a little pavement) I also wonder if it was a bad set that you got, but my money's on a budget for a while and if I get a set I won't be able to replace them too soon. Just wondering if there's a specific terrain that may wear them down prematurely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 pennsylvania coal/shale was the main culprit , they would be great tires for trail riding, on dirt and only dirt , but either way, i wont recomend them to anyone after the ordeal ive been through with mine, i got 4 soft spots on my sidewall of my back left tire, i can poke my finger into them like a dam balloon... if you want tough trail tires, razr 2's !!!!! fuck itp, garbage products and garbage customer sales reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
