New rear tyre in Lima
Hi to you all. I'm currently riding north in Peru on a uk-registered Yamaha XT600. Will be looking for a rear tyre in Lima in a day or so. Ideally a Metzeler Enduro 3 in 130/80 x 17, TT type. But anything along those lines would be good - Tourance, a Pirelli, etc. If anyone has any ideas about a specific place in the city... I have very limited Spanish skills.
Many thanks!
Mike

Good morning Mike,
I am currently in Lima not far from Big Trail Center Peru. I know a guy that had just purchased a MotoZ tire for his DR on his way through a month or so ago here. I had planned to go talk to them today to check on parts and tire availability for my trip down here from Maine in the future. I will let you know what they have for options later today. The address is Av. Alfredo Benavides 4210, Santiago de Surco 15039.
If you are going to be here today or tomorrow maybe we can meet up and chat about travels and share some stories.
Will be in touch.
Kyle

New Tire in Lima
In 2014 I bought a Heidenau K80 in Lima. If I remember right it was at
Motorrad Style & Tours S.A.C.
Av. Caminos del Inca 257 – 269,
Centro Comercial 2do nivel, Tienda 244 - 245 - 246
Chacarilla – Surco, Lima, Perú
Teléfono : +51 1 372-3113
The owner of the shop was German and really kind and helpful.

Big trail is now carrying Jt sprockets, EBC brake pads, motoz and other tires as well as Mosko moto bags, Hepco Becker bags and a selection of high quality helmets. They hope to have more parts, engine parts etc this year.
I forgot to ask what they sizes they had in stock as I was like a kid in a candy store finding these parts in Lima. Give them a Call!

Morning, fellas! That's super-helpful. Will take a look at those options. Kyle, I'll be in the city this afternoon, will drop you a line.
Warm regards,
Mike
