I was wondering if anyone has had any luck purchasing tires from overseas distributors? Anything to watch out for other than currency exchange?

Please don't flame me for searching for these, but I have had great luck with the stock Diablo Stradas on my XT. There are a few UK distributors that have stock of the Strada yet.

I found one today that has rears for roughly 73 Euros and that converts to about $105! Which is a great deal assuming I don't get slammed on shipping.

What do you think? And this is really not a tire bashing thread as I have no issues ordering a Scorpion Trail if this doesn't work out. I ride 99% on asphalt, so the strada is my first choice.

Thanks guys!

I really liked the Stradas I had on my XT. If the shipping doesn't kill you, that price is a real bargain. Good job!

Don't forget about the custom's man and excise tax.

I really like the stock Strada and wish they were available yet here in the states. I would buy another if I could find one.
