Don't know about tyres, but if you are planning such a long trip, a good
idea would be to have a pair of extra tubes with you, a couple of metal
bars that are used for dismounting the tyres from the wheels, and
finally some compressed gass canisters (like the once used for air
pistols). This way you can fix a flat on the road, which would be very
handy.
Good luck with your trip!
