Tyres in Kathmandu for Africa Twin
I'm looking to pick up new Tyres while in Kathmandu, before I head back into India onward to Assam, Arunchal Pradesh, Bangladesh.
Mixed purpose tyres should do just fine. Wont need knobby ones until I get into Kazakhstan I think. Any leads much appreciated. Front 140/80/R17 Rear 90/90/R21 |
Tyres, like bikes and all other spares are very expensive in Nepal, due to 300 Percent import duty, you could try www.hambrobazaar.com, a sort of Nepali ebay, if your desperate, otherwise I'd wait 'till your back in India for a better choice/price.

Thanks UselessB. A mechanic in India told me to wait until Kathmandu because it would be cheaper and I had some tread left. I guess he was woefully mistaken. Lame.
Other possible option: I'm actually headed back to the US for a wedding, leaving the bike elsewhere while gone. Would I be allowed to bring tyres back into Nepal on my return trip? |
Yeah im pretty sure would, KTM airport is chaos and you see people bringing in all sorts of stuff,
or take a really big suitcase? |
