emergency tire use and shops in baja

[viter]

hi guys!
I am in vizcaino, baja right now and my rear tire on my kawasaki z1000 (streetbike) is very worn out and has a hole. I tried plugging the hole with regular youe plugs but they dont stay in very long.

1. if I get a new 150 wide dualsport tire do u think it will b possible to mount it on my 6in wide rim (regular tire size for this rim is 190) and would it stay on for 500 miles to make it back to the states?

2. can anyone recommend a tire shop in guerrero negro?

I would really appreciate any help!
