Punta Arenas tires
Alelado's workshop is on Facebook and he replies promptly. I paid about USD 500 for new Heidenas fitted balanced. In New Zealand it would have been USD300.
His workshop is immaculate and he will clean your bike before he fits new tires. Just make sure any electrics like GPS etc are either removed or covered with a plastic bag if you don't want them full of water. The rear tire went flat by the next morning so must have been pinched on fitting as the valve was fine. Luckily I had not gone far. The workshop took it off and in the process destroyed the inner tube. Well is say destroyed as in my opinion it was too damaged to repair. Luckily I had a spare. The tires were not rebalanced.
I heard the KTM shop in Punta Arenas is about to stock a better range of tires. Michelin I think. Until last week they only had off road tires. Very helpful people at KTM
