While we're talking about ATV's. . . .
does anyone have a source for quad tires in Baja - new or used?
Anywhere in Baja. . . .

People aren't amiable to bringing down 4 tires for someone else.
She needs 2- 25 X8X12 and 2 - 25X11X12.
Will check with the ATV place on Abosolo tomorrow.
Any other ideas would be welcomed.

The main tire store in Loreto has some in stock and get others in 3 days. Not anymore $ than the states.

I paid $71 us for each tire this summer in San Berdoo. No inspection thru Tecate but sometimes you win/sometimes you lose.
ACV Imports was talked about last summer and they advertise around. Good luck. Tio

Willy,
I sent the gal to FrenoMex in Loreto today to see about her tires from them (they are who I buy my truck tires from) and this is what she reported
back to me:
I went to Frenomex. Front tires are 140 dollars each and take 7 days < The only brand they will order for you is Carlisle.
I need 6 tires so that will be pricey! Same front radial tire in US is 71 dollars.

Carlisle tires suck! Well, their cheap brands do anyway. They make a lot of tires with different names. I really got hit when I brought down 4 tires
for the Ranger. Something like 34% for auto parts they said. That was about $100usd. Also included new wheels. The tires are Baja Cross from ITP but
distributed by Carlisle.

That's pretty much what we've experienced over here, too. Extremely high import fees AND sometimes they wont let you bring in four! Only two. Go
figure.
Basic tires are running about 120-140 down here. Just ridiculous!
