tyre changing during the trip
 

Hello
I will be touring Serbia, Hungary, Austria , Croatia and Montenegro on a CBF1000 this summer.

I will have to change my rear tyre along the way at some point.

Does anyone know what the cost would be for a 160/60/17 tyre in some of these countries and if anyone has adresses or phone numbers or links please post.

I got a tyre changed in Hungary last year, can't remember the exact cost but remember thinking 'that's quite cheap!'
It was a Michelin T66, and they seemed to have a reasonable, if not exhaustive supply of tyres. Fraid I can't remember where it was either! Just some wee town near Budapest where my Continental Twinduro failed on me.

Anyway, that's my very vague and barely useful impression of Hungary for you!

One thing I would say though is about Serbia: I was told I HAD to have a month's local insurance (my own wouldn't cover me in Serbia) even though I was only passing through in two days. It cost me about 60 euros! This could've been the guy just deciding to rip me off (there was only one insurance broker at the border so I had no choice!) but others may confirm this.

I passed through Servia last Summer on the way to Dubrovnik, and didn't have any problem with my green card. Only in Kosovo the green card wasn't valid and I had to pay for a 10 day insurance policy.
