Need new tires in Bolivia (Pirelli?)
Olà motocyclistas!
I'm currently in Paraguay and heading towards Bolivia, where I'll need new tires.
Somebody told me Santa Cruz de la Sierra is the place to be, and it more or less suits in my itinerary. Can anybody confirm this?
I'm driving a KLR 650 with Pirelli MT 60 (130 80 17) on the back and MT 90 scorpion (90 90 21) on the front. I like 'em (not that I can compare with others) so I'll probably go with the same ones if I can find them.
If I can't find them, what are good alternatives? The 70/30 road/gravel ratio these ones have suits me well. I'm guessing when I hit Bolivia it will be more 30 and less 70.
I've been looking on this forum before posting this, but as usual I got lost in the bog of information.

Can anyone confirm if this is still good information? It's from 2011.
Found this thread too which is very applicable to my bike but it's very old.
Thanks for the help!
