hi all.

we are in antigua gutemala leaving for san pedro de laguna tomorrow.
one of rear tkc80 finished its part of our journy (after only 6000miles) and we are looking for a new tire 130/80-17 tt. we are not into any brand just something that would be of corect size.
we would like to hear your ideas for shoping here.
many thanks.

Friends of mine have found tires in both Xela and GT City.
I would ask some of the many moto cops in Antigua where the shops are in that city.
I found a rear 17 in Santa Elena/Flores, but it may have been the only one in that area. ...seriously...

there are plenty of places to buy tires in guatemala city there is a place called FPK every biker knows that place located at 10 calle 4-38 zona 9 phone# (502) 23611923 and you can find tyres there, I went like two moths ago and bougth front and back tyre for my africa twin for like $150 both , also there is Moto Punto where you can find tyres too is located at 4 ave. A 13-24 zona 9 phone # (502) 23609522 Im pretty sure anyone can give you info how to find both places, and your 3rd choice would be Bavaria Motors s.a at 8a ave . 4-54 zona 4 phone # (502) 23313335 I know you probably wont believe that from bmw dealer, but sometime they have good prices !!!!! good luck.

better late then never, at the end after much wandering in guatemala city we ended up buying the tires in the kawaski dealership which was the best deal in town.
