Micb 5th Gear October 28, 2016 Share October 28, 2016 Thanks for the responses. The tyre shops must be careful not to keep old stocks, as most will not want to buy older tyres even at a lower cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a search on the web and found most tire manufacturers provide a 5 - 6 years warranty. This deal is good for those who change their tyres every 2 - 3 years with typical mileage of at around 20,000 km. Cheers. Do they have 225/60/17 instead for my ride or i can also use 225/55/17 profile to subsitute for my 225/60/17 profile? Thanks Not sure leh, as I was asking specifically for 225/55/17 only. I will PM you the shop name, you can check, ok ? By the way, I'm just sharing info only, no direct/indirect interest in any shop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Turbocharged October 31, 2016 Share October 31, 2016 Personally I wouldn't be comfortable fitting any new tyres more than 1 year old. I guess my tolerance is 1 year old max.
