We will fit a pair of Mitas E10 Dakar tyres on each bike before we leave. And we will courier a spare set for each bike to the halfway mark at Accra, Ghana. We expect fairly good roads until the Angola / DRC border. We will ride through the equator region during the rainy season, so we expect wet and muddy conditions there. We want tyres that can last on asphalt, and grip on dirt. Let's see...

What we need

2 x (Front tyre + Back tyre)
= 2 (R1 935.00 + R2 905.00)
= R4 840.00
