We dont thought much about: any Service like TNT or DHL will sent a set of new tyres to you.
That isnt cheap i know. But how height is the probability - that you kill two tyres completely?

pretty high, I killed three going to Gambia and back and 2 going to Russia, one puncture, one punctured by some local with a knife!
personally I would advise against taking such non standard wheels and tyres, they will put additional stress on your vehicle and be difficult to replace, and DHL don't deliver to the middle of the Sahara!!
Of course a lot depends on your route and how much off roading you intend doing, although my Russia trip was all tarmac.
OK, you got away with it. You can get away with playing Russian roullete once as well, but I wouldn't recommend making a habit of it!
