tires
Or you just ride the pamirs with your old ones and get a new set of TKC80 or a K60Scout then in Osh. It depends what kind of tire you need after the pamirs towards Mongolia an 80:20 might be suitable vs. the 50:50. No extra order, no more headache for planing...
Anyway, you have to come for a coffee here in Osh.
Chears!

Although this post is not about Martincitos issue (I am sorry) - but I just have to thank klausmong1 and ZorroMoto for their suggestions concerning my choice for tires until now. So I will change to Heidenau K60 Scout for the whole tour.
Zum Kaffee kommen wir in Osh sehr gerne vorbei!  Vielen Dank für die nette Einladung...

Thank you so much guys for the advice!
I'll be leaving Madrid with a set of Avon Trailrider, they should be good all the way to Dushanbe (around 8000km). If I can not preorder a set of TKC or similar in Dushanbe I'll buy in Astrakhan or in Georgia and carry them with me.
How are the road conditions on northern Kazakhstan (Around Beyneu) and in Uzbekistan?
Should I get the more dirt oriented tires mounted before hitting that area?

As I said, TKC80 will be provided here in Osh. It is not jet published because I only publish what I have at place.

Is there a reason that the Motoz tires aren't considered? I am truly not a fan of the TKC 80 due to the tire life. Are they just not available there?

Motoz are available in Europe but as you move to the east very hard to get them.
Either get them in Europe and ship them to UB or to any other place you have on the route.

I contacted Denis and he is shipping me a set of TKC to Astrakhan that tomorrow I'll mount and pick up.
I know they don't last as much as others but is my favorite tire.

Hi Dave,
I'd love to buy the tires in Osh but I'm traveling eastbound so Osh will be the end of the Pamir trip.
I'd like to get a set of TKC in Dushanbe prior to the Pamir higway
Can you ship them there or tell me where could I get them?
Thanks,
Martin
