No new tires in Peru???
 
Hi,

Does anybody know where could I buy a new tire 180/55 ZR17 in Peru?

My rear tire wore out to the wires and is now totally dead and I'm stuck 140km before Cusco. Yesterday I went to Cusco and only shop that had ever heard of this dimension is Honda dealer and they tried calling to Lima and the only thing they could come up with is a Pirelli Supercorsa bigger than mine 190/55 ZR17. I may be able to fit that one on my bike but that's a supersport tire which is totally expensive and definitely not a type I would like to ride with on this type of roads.

Please, if anyone has an idea where or who can I call to find a new tire? I can't belive that it's impossible to find such a tire in Peru. Through whole central american, Colombia and Ecuador, they always had a few of them in all the bigger cities.

Thanks.

When in Peru, i nthe middle of nowhere, we noticed my friends rear on his BMW 1200GSA was dying quickly.

I called everywhere and found at Barbacci motors. We had it shipped to cajamarca and it was there like 3 days after. The shipping cost were not even 5 $US.

can't track down the number but I spoke with Frrank there and the email there is ventas at barbaccimotors dot com

good luck !
