Finding tires in central Morocco?

Hi! Currently traveling on my CRF250l through Morocco (sitting in Fes right now). I need a new rear tire sooner rather than later and was wondering if anyone got any leads on where I could find one.

Tire size: 120/80-18

Looking for some sort of 50/50 tire such as the Michelin Anakee Wild. But any tire that is good for 50/50 will do.

Would massively appreciate any help as I can't seem to progress on that matter with any locals here. A lot of talk but nothing concrete has come out so far and my rear tire is getting slimmer and slimmer

Try Loc 2 roues in Marrakech.
https://bm-attitude.com/ French is best.
It's a rental place but they may flog you a Mitas.
Not sure if they rent anything with an 18 anymore, but they may know where does.

This information is a bit old and I do know that the purchasing manager has since moved on, but they hold a massive stock of tyres and will ship to you using the CTM bus network, https://www.ukgser.com/forums/showth...res-in-Morocco

A bit late to reply to this question, but here's a "good news" post about my experience finding tires in rural Morocco:

Awesome Service from MotoPlus, Casablanca

As Tim noted, shipping tires by bus in Morocco is a quick and reliable method to get them from the seller to wherever you might be in the country. It's an overnight service, as fast as FedEx.
