BTW if you're REALLY worried just call Competition Accessories and have them (or Dennis Kirk) match this deal. I just ordered the BT-002 RS tires for $240 shipped from Competition today using this technique.
Jesus Christ - I'm not trying to poop on your deal finding. I'm trying to let people know that there are shitty dealers out there, and it's VERY easy to get taken when buying tires online.

Hell, there were people HERE in Austin that didn't understand dates on tires and bought old tires from Cycle Gear in person. They were BT016's - which the product number has been out for a few years - you just need to make sure you're getting the NEW compound and not the OLD ones.

The ONLY way to do that is with a date check.
