Heidys In Northern Chile Or Argentina
 

Afternoon all

Greetings from Arequipa, just looking ahead at rear rubber, would like to put on another 150/70 -18 Heidenau as we have had a great run with these and they suit our level of riding.

So Northern Chile or Argentina? .... Lima in Peru is an option we know of but we may head a little south for the soggy season then woft back up.

Those in the know....

www.perumotos.com in Arequipa can sell you a tire that size but it will be whatever they have on the shelf. There is a good dealer in Santiago for BMW and several independent shops. Selection is poor in Argentina and assuming an official exchange rate you will pay more. Yamaha makes bikes that fit that tire. We got one at their dealer in Antofagasta Chile a bit more than a year ago but they did not have Heidis in stock. Dave

Heya Dave

Many thanks for the useful info, will do some checking out

Moto Aventura have then but are way down in Punto Arenas.

Heidenau is not available in Argentina, so it has to be Chile.

Santiago is your best bet, or maybe Cochabamba in Bolivia.

What I did on a recent RTW was contact Heidenhau direct.

Rolf sorted us out with a man who could deliver (in Russia, so I suspect he will know one here as well)

Hi Andi
If you can find the right size in Santiago by email or whatever, ask the seller to put them on Turbus cargo to a town up north that you pick that has a Turbus cargo depot. Then pick them up from the Turbus Cargo depot in said town. Fit them. Keep riding. etc.

I did something similar to move a tyre from Santiago to where I picked it up in Calama.

Good luck

Looking for Hiendenau's as well

I sent an email to Hiedenau a week ago however I have not received a reply. If I get a lead on any tires I'll post it here.

Chile has several options actually, Santiago is where we got sorted, heading into Chile shortly so tire will be spent by Santiago.

Also you can get them in Bolovia too, I emailed the guy but had no response although I now of others who have got them.

Where are you now Rigby?
