Not Very PC
R.I.P
I run the Metzeler ME880 tires on my bikes. In April, Parts Unlimited [phone 608-758-1111] raised the price of 1 size of the ME880, the 160-70VB-17 by $100 to around $240 or so depending on where you shop. The rest of the ME880 line went up in price by 3%-4%.
Metzeler tech says the tire has not changed, and no way would they raise the price on that 1 size tire by a $100 and not do it across the board, it's price went up about $8.00 or around 4%.
J&P, Denis Kirk, M&M and Parts Unlimited say no one has complained so the price stays as is but if Complaints come in or Metzeler sales are impacted the price would be adjusted accordingly.
So help me and all the 160-70VB-17 users out by calling or emailing all the above to complain or at least ask them WHY!!
