Egypt requires the most deposit - 800% I think... India and Iran follow at about 500%.
In reality, these are just figures and it depends how your auto club implements them.
My deposit of €3200 makes a mockery of the requirements for India and Egypt, yet the carnet was VALID there.
Write the value of your bike back as far as you can when applying for the carnet, they never seem to check and do not include the cost of all your mods/panniers etc.
If you carry *new* spare tyres, they should be logged but will not affect your deposit on return.
