Chris at Jungle Junction does not sell new tyres. He didn't when I was there in 2011 anyway.
He does have part worn ones lying about. Mostly abandoned/adopted tyres from travellers. It's pot luck what he has.
If you want a new tyre in Nairobi, there is a KTM place place where you can buy new, large tyres. How lucky you will be with a 17" though, I'm not sure.
I got a Metzeler Sahara 3 off them. It cost me £200 !!
Yes... £200.

It can be a bit tricky to find. Head out of Nairobi towards Nairobi National Park and the suburb of Karen. About five kms after the National Park, turn left at the sign pointing to the giraffe centre, ride straight for a couple of kms, and then it is a right turn into a Mobil garage in Hardy Estate.
