Last summer I put on an Avon cobra chrome rear tire when they were running their rebate and got a $20 rebate. About a month later I got a matching front tire. I sent in both receipts and got another $60 rebate.
I put about 7000 miles on the rear when Avon came out with their recall. I talked to Dennis Kirk (the site I ordered it from), and they paid the return shipping, and issued me a full refund of the original purchase price. I then ordered a new cobra chrome because I love the way they handle! When I ordered the new one, they had them on sale for $40 off. Since I mount my own tires, I didn't pay any labor. So all said and done, I not only got a free tire, but also made $120 in rebates and sales!
