Tyres - western China (Kashgar)
 

OK - appreciate this may be a long shot, but does anyone know of anywhere that stocks big bike tires in Kashgar or beyond from the T'gort Pass (headed SE into Tibet)?

Anyone have any experience of mailing tyres ahead from one of the 'Stans? Guessing Kashgar or Lhasa would be the bets if that's even possible.

Thanks

Oh dear - that must be one of the worst places on earth to need tyres. Didnt see any big bikes at all when riding through there last year. Did however see big bikes amongst them BMW in Yunnan province. But they were from the east of China.

BMW Hong Kong has a Facebook site - maybe they can help?

Cheers Snakeboy - not crossing till Tuesday, so still some time to sort hopefully.

Will check out HK BMW and see if they can help. Maybe they can mail to Lhasa or elsewhere.

Would not try mailing tyres from overseas as they most likely get stuck in customs or confiscated.
BMW Motorrad has a pretty good network (parts supply) around Mainland China and some bike / dealer info in the thread = http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...ops-gear-72688

Another solution would be China's famous https://www.taobao.com (similar to Ebay with fixed pricing but only in Chinese)......
