I can highly recommend Bora´s service.
Bought a tire from him four years ago.
This time I ordered two sets of tires in advance coming from Pakistan/Iran, which Bora delivered perfectly in time to Van/Turkey (close to the Iran border).

Very good service + perfect reaction time!

Greetings from Irak

Tire arrived no problem Thanks Bora! When the payment cards didn't work, he just sent the tire anyways and trusted us to pay. (Luckily my last card worked after all!) Getting new rubber couldn't be easier Turkey-Tyres All Brands-uploadfromtaptalk1405423761725.jpgTurkey-Tyres All Brands-uploadfromtaptalk1405423778550.jpg

Hi Bora

We are in Pakistan right now, and going to Iran soon. After Iran I go to Turkey, and will need some new tires for my bike.
Although I drive a dual purpose bike (Moto Guzzi NTX650) I will be doing mostly asphalt/tarmac from Turkey onwards to the Netherlands.

So I'm looking for some nice new tires that are good on roads, also in the wet!

My tire size are:
front 90/90/21
rear 120/80/18

What do you have in stock, can you recommend any tires?

Thank you,
Tim

Thanks Bora!

I ordered a pair of tires at Bora, they arrived the next day at my hostel in Istanbul! Just put them on my rims myself... I'm ready for a wet Europe
