Tyres in Turkey

Anyone know where we can find two sets of Pirelli Scorpion MT90s for KTM 990 Adventures in Turkey?

Size 150/70 - 18 rear 90/90/21 front

Also, looking for Touratec hand guards for bike.

All the best

Hi Bora,

Do you have Heidenau tires available at the moment (R1200GS)?
Any possibility to get Heidenau tires?
I tried to send you an email, but did not get an answer.

Br,
Marko

Hi

now we are getting closer, the preparations are in the final stage ...

Still, we haven`t sorted the tyres which we want to change in Turkey before taking the ferry from Mersin to Port Said ...

How much is the TKC 80 ?

Any other tyre brand in that size available ?

and btw., lots of travellers like and want the

HEIDENAU K60 Scout
MITAS E 07
MEFO Explorer

they are very good for long distance traveller/overlander .... maybe you should contact the factorys and see if they want to make buisness in Turkey ...

beeing the first dealership in a country is always good, right ?

best regards and thanks

Thomas

Turkey tyres - go nowhere else

Bora is a star, met me at the Ferry from Istanbul so that i wouldn't get lost on route to his shop. He had great selection of tyres and had the Tourance too. After a few cups of tea and a chat the tyres were on and I was on my way.... he made me take his number so that if I get into any trouble in Turkey, I can call him and he will help or be an emergency translator.... what a star. Love giving business to people who deserve it.

He is also helping me get a few bits for the bike sent on to a hotel further on my route....
