Conti TKC80s for R1150GS in Chile/Arg

Hi, I´m currently in Chile, heading up Carratera Austral. Its lovely here by the way if a tad expensive after Argentina.

I´m using Metz Karoos which have been ok on the gravel but develop a nice weave on tarmac at about 70mph.

Are there places, say in Santiago or further north where i could get a TKC80 for a BMW R1150GS?

Cheers

Mike

Here in Central America, the Conti's are not available. The Pirelli MT21 is a good substitute and available everywhere in Latin America(made in Brazil). Not sure about your frt. whl. size though.

Nice little shop in Santiago, little hard to find, in a gated residential area. Carry TKC's (although in short supply a few months ago, only one set on the floor), touratech, etc....
