The Conti's aren't available here, but Pirelli MT21's are. And they are reasonable, around $80 a pair.
Personaly, I would run more of a street tire for the run thru the States and Mexico and buy some Knobbies here.
I see from your profile that you have been here before. But just a reminder, we are into the rainy season now, and it promises to be a wet one.

I can't P.M., not enough posts.
A better question than "How will the weather be in July" might be, "how will the roads be in July?". Too early to tell, ping me in a month.
Sure, I would enjoy having a with you. I live in the North Western part of Costa Rica. My phone#'s are in another post here.
