I'm actually in Argentina and Chile.
It's not a big deal to find new pirelli mt 60 tyres in '17. In Argentina
you'll find them in every big city for less money.
I met a guy who bought a set of 'em for 80 USD.
The pirelli mt 60 are really common here also in chile.
Another tip is to bring some with you, store them in a place like
"villakunterbunt" in Santiago.
If you need them, call the storage place and they'll send them to you by the
local bus services.It cost you maybe 10 - 15 USD. This is also quite common here
and relatively safe, that it works.
The experience on a R 100 GS is: front Conti TKC 80 runs for 20000 k's. Rear
"17 Metzeker Enduro 2 is run down at 8000 k's and Metzeler Tourance is at
8000 only half run down.
Because the front tyre is really knobby you have no problems with the
"racing" tyres like Tourance as a rear tyre in the gravel or on the bad roads.
The Conti TKC 80 is really the best bet for the front wheel but in rear it
lasts only for 6000 k's.
Good luck and keep rubbers always downside
