StephenD,
We are in Nairobi at the moment and yes, there is the KTM shop as well as another tyre shop in the city centre itself. It is called Cycle Importers and is located in Monrovia Street, just off Moi street. They have the Vee Rubber (about 90euro each) and we've been told by people in the know that they are actually quite good. Can't confirm that though! They also have Metzeler Enduro 3 but I can't recall the price.
We've done just over 12 000km on our Continental TKC 80 rear, and it looks good for at least another 3000km. And this was done on mostly tar, two up with luggage on a 600 Transalp! So, driving carefully, 15000 on decent tyres should not be a problem.
Cairo as far as we could find out is every bit the drag described above!
Hope this helps.
