don´t let to buy the tires in Brazil
 

Because many tires are made here, some bikers riding through South America let to buy the tires in Brazil, but the same tires are cheaper in Argentina, Paraguay, Colombia, etc.

For example:
Last week (14th - november -2009) I bought 02 Michellin Sirac size:
90/90 - 21 : R$219.00 (reais) = US$127.00
130/80 - 17 : R$279.00 (reais) = US$162.00

Even the parts, oil, etc are more expensive here, because our heavy taxes.
it´s just an advice.

True, we bought Brazilian made tires in Paraguay and saved 50%..

Thanks for the info Reginaldo!

I bought my back MT90 for $250US in Sao Paulo and Javier posted somewhere you could get front and back tourances for $190US. I wish I had waited but then maybe I would have had a flat tyre that I have to keep on pumping up (c;
