It's Hard to Get What You Think You're Ordering

On: 2008-04-21

If you can actually get Bell Streetster tires, they are pretty good for tires $10 and under. I bike over 4,000 miles a year, so Ive learned which brands last longer. The catch is being able to buy genuine Bell Streetster tires over the web. I made 3 attempts, and had 3 near misses. The first 2 reputable websites (one a national sporting goods chain) had Bell Gumwall tires pictured, but shipped a cheaper blackwall version with partial reflective stripes that went only 1/3 around the tire. The vendor through Amazon in good faith sent what he thought were Bell gumwall tires, but they were actually an unknown foreign brand with Bell wrappers around the tire. The problem was resolved to my satisfaction, but after 3 failed attempts to buy the pictured Bell product over the web, Ive decided not to try to do so again in the future.
