Where to find tires in Panama?
 
Hey guys, I am looking for dual sport tires in Panama City right now and I have not been able to find the inexpensive ones (non dealer) in my size. I have located a front tire (Kenda) that will fit but is slightly too narrow.

I have a BMW F650 and the rear tire is 130/80/17 and the front tire is 100/90/17 I think.


Thanks,
Geoff

MPH Motos Panama City
 
On the one way street that goes to the BMW dealer, just before you get to the BMW, there´s a suzuki or Kawasaki dealer on the corner with ? maybe it´s Ave Brazil ?, turn left and go up the hill about a block or two and on the left there´s a place called MPH. They had a rear tire for my R100GS a couple of weeks ago and were really friendly and it lokked like they would know where to go if they can´t help you.

Thanks for your help runnoft. Unfortunately I already went to all the places you mentioned today and had no luck. MPH does carry a Kenda tire for my front tire, but it is looking like I will have to buy the back one from the dealer.

KLR´s use a 16 inch rear tire right? I have been able to find those. I have not been able to find a 17 inch 130/80.
