all you need is the yellow pages (paginas amarillas)
or ask anyone on a bike to show you the way to a bike store in their town
It really is a piece of cake to enter a bike shop and write what you want, tyre specs are pretty universal.
Argentina is a country about the size of India and not all people happen to be riding in front of Javier's shop when they need something...
cheers

Do i feel animosity against Javier here?
Half argentina italian?????  I would rather say spanish.
Giuseppe asked and at least three other members are recomending also Dakarmotos.(including me here)
One detail,at dakarmotos you get the tires changed too! Most shops sell only! No tire changing involved.

Yep, tyres are pretty easy to come by in BA, less easy in other parts of the country(Patagonia). Its a good idea to make contact with Dakar Motos as they ship tyres around the country if you are really stuck. Javier will also be able to help you with other things (like spare parts).
Like Lisa says , Dakar Motos is more than just a bike shop.Good guys.
Hope this helps
John.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
