It's quick- reliable and a few $'s for the driver does the job.
Still, if coming from Greece, it would be a simple little detour to go via Ipsala, Kesan then turn Sth to Gallipoli - hop on ferry to Cardak then East about 130Kms to Bora and it saves having going through Istanbul.
If you are heading East, there is little in it and you keep going via Bursa.
IMHO the better route if needing to get tyres from Bora- you get them fitted and balanced properly and it removes the uncertainty of 'have they arrived/where are my tyres?' bit! and you get to meet a nice man too!
(or if coming from Bulgaria, then I'd go Edirne- Havsa- Kesan etc.)

Thanks Bertrand, unfortunately Istanbul has been nominated as the meeting place for 4-5 of us that are all travelling on to Iran and the stans so I have no option but to go that way.
I think I will most likely get the K60's at Motosapiens in Bulgaria and get them fitted there, I just don't like the new tread pattern with the solid centre rather than blocks across the width of the tyre. I can't see how they would get the same traction.
