don´t let to buy the tires in Brazil
Because many tires are made here, some bikers riding through South America let to buy the tires in Brazil, but the same tires are cheaper in Argentina, Paraguay, Colombia, etc.
For example:
Last week (14th - november -2009) I bought 02 Michellin Sirac size:
90/90 - 21 : R$219.00 (reais) = US$127.00
130/80 - 17 : R$279.00 (reais) = US$162.00
Even the parts, oil, etc are more expensive here, because our heavy taxes.
it´s just an advice.
Reginaldo.
