My experience of changing my tyres in Malaysia.

[Cephas]

Recently changed my yokohama ae50 after 3yrs of usage to bridgestone potenza re003 in jb. Total cost for 4 donuts of re003 is rm840 and using dat day exchange rate of 3.08, it worked out to be sin272 which equals to sin68 per donut!

 

Size is 195/50/15 and DOT is 0716. Include install, balance, valve change and alignment

Don't know value of RE003 in 15" in Singapore.. I know re003 18" is from $190-$220, made in Thailand and Indonesia stock

for this size, SG will be cheaper.

[Othello]

Is SG$80 for 1 piece of nexen cp672 195/55/15 a decent price?

 

JB can get Michelin XM2 for RM240 

[Cephas]

In fact, Michelin PS3 is rm220 per donut. There is no way to compare the pricings directly due to the 3:1 currency exchange rate. Even with cheaper cost across the causeway, some may not choose to get it there but to get it locally due to whatever reasons.

RM220 type might be older stock (2004/2005).

More than ten years? That's crazy la.

 

Go to a reputable shop and ask them for the manfacture date and place before installing.

[Wish69]

Yes...check the side wall for date of manufacture and country made...at the shop beofore you commit.

Usually, tyre shop has fast turnover on the tyres and nowaday shop space are limited.

Just imagine, so many brands and sizes....

So I reckon they don't keep so many stock and too long unless they have a warehouse.

i checked my re003 when they install last yr.....same yr manufacture lei.....195/15/55 at rm237/pc...a bit more than other jb shop but then the boss brought in the tyres just for me! So cannot complain!

[Ahbengdriver]

Malaysia boleh.

Please don't anyhow hantam:

 

1. Michelin PS3 was released in January 2010

http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/Michelin-Launch-the-Michelin-Pilot-Sport-3.htm

 

2. While Malaysia may not adhere to the Singapore's "high" standards, alleging that Malaysian tire shops may be selling 2004/2005 stocks in 2017 is a bit far-fetched.

 

Some car owners want to save a penny or two, it's their own decision and risk to change tires in Malaysia.

 

But to make such spurious allegations about Malaysia is probably unwarranted.

For more common size, Malaysia may have newer tyre especially the bigger shop.
