when I mentioned Yana Tyres oulet, at Waiyaki way, I didn't mean they sell Yana tyres only, but other tyre types, too.
Alternatively, and depending on vehicle usage, Kirinyaga and Kumasi Roads, have lots of tyre businesses, you may give that a try.

Out of curiosity, how much is the parity? Last time I bought Yana it was about ksh 6,700 for the 15 inch size. That was 2008, so it may not make sense any more.
If the parity is anything less than ksh $1000, I would think the local would be better deal. The roads have improved a lot, so it may actually not make a big difference.

If you want 'good tyres' which I will assume you want durable and good quality tryes then you might want to check out vendors like kingsway tyre shops. If its for mostly on tarmac driving you will get some Michelin or similar brands depending on your taste. For off-road driving together with on tarmac you might want to consider brands like BF Goodrich, Wrangler or similar brands. Some of these tyres come with interesting warranties like 4 years or pot-hole warranty. These will throw you back to between 18-60k per tyre at that profile. Otherwise you can get some good Yanas for a fraction of the price. Be very careful about some of the Asian brands especially if you intend to drive fast on our roads.

Does anyone here use the EU Tyre Rating<http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/safety/tyre-label-fuel-noise-grip.html>when making a decision on which tyres to buy? For your size, it seems Dunlop's Sport BluResponse and GoodYear's EfficientGrip Performance have the highest EU rating.
