To get a tyre for your bike in Eastern Turkey is nearly impossible. I tried in Erzurum and found just a greasy little backyard workshop. They advised me to continue to Trabzon and try Ege Motor.
Well, this was nearly as bad. They offered to order a new tyre from Istanbul. It was supposed to be at Ege Motor by 9 am next morning. For this service they asked a hell of a price. Cash in advance.... 
By 9 am next morning (of course) there wasn't anything. They asked me to come back at 2 pm.
If anybody needs a tyre here, don't go to Ege Motor. Rather try Pirelli. They're on the D-885 going south from Trabzon to Yolu. I'd expect them to be more professional and no scam.
