Another Question for Scott Re Tyres in UB
Scott,
This is brett and dave from Australia again.
We are currently in Korea enroute to Mongolia via Japan.
We had planned to change from road to off road tyres in Japan, but Chris (in Tokyo) has told us that the tyre we are looking for is going to be both difficult and expensive to get.
I think I recall that you rode a BMW. The tyres we want/ need for the Tigers are front 19 inch and rear 17 inch and the only brand we can find are Continental (We understand that BMW also use Continental on the Adventuers)
Would you know if it is possible to obtain Continental TKC80 110/80 BR 19 for the front and TKC80 150/70 BQ 17 rear in UB?
We appicate that they may need to be ordered in, but if possible to order (and maybe pay) before we arrive it could be an alternative to buying them in Japan (Chris feels we will have a considerable wait for them to arrive and we dont have too much time).
Just as a last idea, in your opinion are off road tyres absoultely necessary for the western route?
If not then we'll go for something like Michelin Anakee's in Japan.
Cheers
Brett
