Hi,
Are you the guy that we bought our tyres from? I'm the one you spoke on the phone (via your friend) to buy the Pirelli MT90 sets for my Dakar and my friend's Transalp.
I recomend you to all travellers! Great service!
Thanks again,
Vincent (Belgium):thumbup1:

We purchased tyres from Bora when we were in Turkey and I couldnt have asked for better service or price. He is a lovely bloke who really looks after people. Hopefully I will catch up with him in the not too distant future.

harryls 27 Jun 2011 19:50

Today I have spent a few hours in Bora's good company...not only did he sort me out on a difficult to get tyre for Batty...A Royal Enfield, he also arranged it to be fitter (very well and reasonably). Then his colleagues (whose name I have forgotten alas), without prompting started washing her and had her gleaming in no time...it was service with a very big smile.

Safe and honest hands for anyone needing tyres etc in Turkey.

Hi

now we are getting closer, the preparations are in the final stage ...:D

Still, we haven`t sorted the tyres which we want to change in Turkey before taking the ferry from Mersin to Port Said ...

How much is the TKC 80 ?

Any other tyre brand in that size available ?

and btw., lots of travellers like and want the

HEIDENAU K60 Scout
MITAS E 07
MEFO Explorer

they are very good for long distance traveller/overlander :scooter: .... maybe you should contact the factorys and see if they want to make buisness in Turkey ... :innocent:

beeing the first dealership in a country is always good, right ? :D

Turkey tyres - go nowhere else
 
Bora is a star, met me at the Ferry from Istanbul so that i wouldn't get lost on route to his shop. He had great selection of tyres and had the Tourance too. After a few cups of tea and a chat the tyres were on and I was on my way.... he made me take his number so that if I get into any trouble in Turkey, I can call him and he will help or be an emergency translator.... what a star. Love giving business to people who deserve it.

He is also helping me get a few bits for the bike sent on to a hotel further on my route....

I can highly recommend Bora´s service.
Bought a tire from him four years ago.
This time I ordered two sets of tires in advance coming from Pakistan/Iran, which Bora delivered perfectly in time to Van/Turkey (close to the Iran border).

Very good service + perfect reaction time!

Hi Bora

We are in Pakistan right now, and going to Iran soon. After Iran I go to Turkey, and will need some new tires for my bike.
Although I drive a dual purpose bike (Moto Guzzi NTX650) I will be doing mostly asphalt/tarmac from Turkey onwards to the Netherlands.

So I'm looking for some nice new tires that are good on roads, also in the wet!

My tire size are:
front 90/90/21
rear 120/80/18

What do you have in stock, can you recommend any tires?

Thank you,
Tim

Mitas tyres
 
Hello Bora

I hope to be touring through Turkey about May 2015. do you stock or are you able to supply Mitas E-09 tyres? after reading all this post you seem to be the place to go but if not do you know any Mitas supplers in Turkey?

Many Thanks Daren

BoRaBoRa 1 Mar 2015 17:23

Hello Daren
I only supply conti, metzeler, bridgestone, pirelli, dunlop, michelin..
Please tell me your dimensions, i will check..

Hi
I will be in Turkey late June..
I have already purchased a pair of tkc80s (120\17 & 160\17) with the intention of carrying them with me through Europe, but it might be easier to sell the ones I have and purchase them in Turkey if they are available.

Cheers
Mark

BoRaBoRa 2 Mar 2015 08:22

Hello Mark,
I have just checked the product range but i cant see the rear dimension you've told..
Continental Motorcycle Tyres*-TKC 80

what is your bike?

sorry my mistake - i have 150/17 rear tkc80 - I'm putting them on a kawasaki versys 650
(standard size is a 160 rear on the 2007 versys)

BoRaBoRa 2 Mar 2015 11:26

Pirelli MT60 RS Corsa would be perfect choice for your Versys, and it's available.. :thumbup1:

trackdayrider 2 Mar 2015 15:34

Hmm. . Good tyre, but not sure it's got the mileage I need from it. . I want to get across Kazakhstan into Russia to Vladivostock on the set of tyres I fit in Turkey.

I've been running a pair of maxxis supermoto tyres, which are very similar.

BoRaBoRa 2 Mar 2015 16:38

how about Pirelli Angel GT, or Metzeler Tourance NEXT..?

trackdayrider 27 Mar 2015 13:19

Ok

I'll go with the tkc80 120 front and 150 rear. .
Can you pm me a rough price guide?

I'll pick them up en route

van2wheels 31 Mar 2015 16:45

I will need to change tires in Turkey on my way to the East. Having read this thread so far, it still seems to be difficult to get Mitas E-07 in Turkey. They are my first preference in terms of mileage. Another option would be the Heidenau K60 Scout. Also not easily available. Any alternatives?

BoRaBoRa 31 Mar 2015 19:19

i mostly can supply Continental, Metzeler, Pirelli, Michelin, Bridgestone, (and Dunlop supersport and circuit series only)..

many importer companies have been distributor for Mitas and Heidenau but no one continued..

can you please tell me your dimensions, i can check availability...

van2wheels 31 Mar 2015 20:46

It's a 1200 GS oilhead:
110/80 R19
150/70 R17
Another option would be the Conti TKC 70.
I've also seen that you posted about the Anlas CapraX/CapraR. Can you recommend these tires?

tkc70 , great choice indeed...

both available.. :thumbup1:

(capraR is about to be ready for sale, not for now)

BoRaBoRa 31 Mar 2015 22:35

the road choice is also important..
alwas tarmac or offroad, or mostly tarmac, slightly offroad, or..???

10% offroad at most.
Like I mentioned, mileage is the most important characteristic for me as I expect to do about 15000 kms on this tour.
I have experience with Mitas E07 and Heidenau K60 Scout which both lasted 12000 kms on my bike and I hope the Conti TKC 70 will be in the same range.
I don't know about the Anlas CapraX as it doesn't seem to be widely used.

I'll write you a PN about the details.

Bora NOT in the business anymore --> Alternative contact
 
Hi all,

I just talked to Bora, unfortunately nowadays he left the motorcycle tyre business.
He recommanded me to another contact for motorcycle tyres:

Karayol Motosiklet Lastikleri · Sayfa · Motosiklet Bayisi · Cumhuriyet Mahallesi, 664. Sokak, No:2, Antalya, Turkey · +90 242 345 52 67 · info@karayollastik.com.


I have no personal experience with them, yet. Just wanted to leave the info.
