Tires 150x70 R18 and 90x90 R21
I am riding my KTM 1190 Adventure R in Argentina and Chile. Beautiful bike for this trip and no issues at all so far, I did my own oil change but nothing else.
But I now need a set of tyres. I am having trouble sourcing these babies.
I am in San Martin de Los Andes, so close enough to Neuquen, Mendosa, even Santiago at a push.
Can anyone recommend a tyre seller in this area who would/might have some of these. Any brand, any type.
Thanks

Where have you tried and failed so far?
The 18" rear is the one that's hard to get. A 17" easier.
Maybe call or email various bike shops in Mendoza or Santiago? Perhaps they can order something for you?
Or ship it to San Martin on a bus?
Chile may be high priced ... Argentina better with Blue $$$.
You're near Bariloche ... home of international jet setters ... no idea about
bike shops there or tires, but they are very well connected to ... everywhere!
Suerte!

Hola,
ask Javier at Dakar Motos in BsAs, I am sure he can send them to you anywhere in Argentina.
Suerte
