I definately recommend proceeding to Rio Gallegos. The Honda shop there had several large tires and in addition there is another recommended mechanic there. In Ushuia the pickings were very, very slim & I ended up buying a tire that was crap.
Finally, the hubb recommend mech from Punta Arenas had indicated that the honda guy in rg is a freind & that he could get a tire from Satiago for me & get it to RG customs free.
What ever you do, keep in mind that RG is no place you want to hang out waiting for several days, it's a rather dismal uninspiring city.
PS -- the recommended mech in Punta Arenas should be able to get tires shipped from Santiago in a few days, so that's another option.

Can anyone suggest who I can contact down there. Is it difficult to get tyres?
If needs be I could call ahead and ask that they order some in.
Thanks for all the help, I love this website
