i know JB very famous in this brand called "Road Stone" which is made in China.

but then again, why pay for the same price when you can get something better in local?

tyres will be cheaper in Singapore. I only do my servicing in JB, at hawk tyre

[Gohsj89]

in this instance, the tyre there is cheaper for my size.

 

280rm (S$115~) vs S$135

 

and hawk tyre is giving free alignment..

but not sure if the stock are genuine, called and they say it comes with 6 yrs warranty like what sg's local distributer does.

 

dafansu, what oil do they use and how much they do yr servicing? curious

I frequently go to Hawk Tayar [southern City Branch], for changing 4 tires to XM1 and subsequently XM2, rotation and high-speed balancing.

My experience with the Southern City Branch is very good. They are patient and obliging.

I use my own mobile oil from giant $40 plus only. Only pay for labour. I go to sutera mall branch

[Gohsj89]

The one next to shell station is which branch uh?

[Hjteo]

Noticed that there was a difference in the pricing between XM2 in SGP and JB (Hawk tyres). With the exchange rates, it's slightly cheaper in JB.

 

Just a question, how do you tell from the XM2 tires if the tire were made in Thailand or fm Europe?

 

Thanks!

Do a search on XM2 in MCF, it seems like this tyre which is MIT are significantly cheaper in Msia. I went Dong Huat yesterday but forgot to ask the price

 

Will call and ask later for size 185/65/R15. Anyone using this size purchased it in SG for price comparison?
