18 and 21 inch Desert tyres stash in Atar,mauretania
This may help a few people with planning their trips. After having traversed the desrt piste from Noudibhou to Atar in mauretania we found much to our surprise that an english chap on a 05 ktm adventure had uncovered a stash of used michelin desert tyres from the dakar rally. We bought our rear ones about 75% good for 8000 ouiyaguyas-how do you spell that!or the equivalent of 35 us dollars. great surprise since our current deserts are going to be treadless by the congo.I f any one would like to check out the trip in progress check out www.greatwayhome.com
The tyres are available from Adrar Photo, a shop on the right if heading out toward chiguetti. it has a red and yellow painted frontage and a small door.
The tyres are at the back and there were approxamitely 20 sets plus bib mousse to choose from- carefull your choise;some side walls have nicks.
GPS co-ords of the shop are
N 20 31.151
W 13 02.999
best of luck
