Tyre shop South Spain

[davebetty]

I know it is on the wrong continent for this thread, but it is related, honest!

By good fortune, I recon I will have worn out my current Anakee 2's by the time i reach the South of Spain in six months time.

This gives me the prefect oppertunity to change over to some more off road bias tyres, TKC80s or Scout K60's ready for Marocco whilst getting them a bit cheaper in Spain and not having to carry/fit them myself.

I will be coming down from Santander, Salamanca, Seville and could do with finding a motorcycle tyre fitting shop I can contact before hand to get my sizes in ready to fit.

Anywhere like Jerez, Cadiz or Algerciras would be ideal. Does anyone have any experience?

Cheers Dave

I've had dealings with them before, and they were very helpful.

that is very useful thanks, the Cadiz site would be really useful to myself as I would be passing by at a useful time of day.

I can't really see that the do tyres off their web site, is this something that you have had experience of?

I'm not really looking for the cheapest price possible, more like a reliable service to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Just wondering what your experiences were.

cheers

Sorry for the delay - my life's too busy!


When I was looking into sorting this out for me, I emailed the dealership (and used google translate for Spanish!) and asked them to get hold of the tyres for me. They were both happy to do this, and to store my 'road' tyres for two weeks whilst I had a jolly in Morocco! Very civilised of them. I was planning to use TKC80's for Africa.


In the end, I rode a Mitas E07 rear and a E10 front all the way there and back, and didn't use them at all. Just as an aside, whilst the E07 rear was fine for the 5000+ miles, the E10 was awful for the longer, faster European stages.
