Smile New tyres in Penang (Heidenau?)

Dear All,

Anyone live in or know Penang well? Can you recommend where best to try for new tyres for my Tiger 800XC? I've been using Heidenau K60s and love them (they handle great on & off road), but not sure if I'll be able to order them in Malaysia (amazingly I have had 24,000km from the front and 14,000km from the rear, but they're down to the bare bones...)

I'm arriving there from Belawan around 1 Nov (via Mr Lim at Cakra Shipping).

Thanks!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
