[Pisces69]

wear rate around 340 if I remember correctly.

it's a 195/50/15 bought it in april for about $75 each.

According to their chart, they DON'T have 15" leh?

 

Is yours the full silica compound? Is the tire as good as claimed & how about the noise level?

I got it from Eng Wah battery & tyres in toa payoh industrial park .Look for Vincent .

I don't know how to tell whether it's full silica compound but I do know that this tyres is given a W speed rate .

 

Noise level is not as bad as the Yokohama ES100 but more pronounce then the BFG GForce sport that I use to used.I prefer noise then quiet tyres .

I have tried on NSH running all the way to lumut and back and feel that it run better and gripper when hot/warm.

 

Last few day was raining profusely and I tried on wet road and purposely run over ponding area and feel that the centre rib and the V groove did help stable the car and dissipate water away better than the previous tyres I have used .

 

For the price it's asking , it's really value for money liao...

I have no intention to flame, I just feel that somewhat your business model is wrong.

 

PH is doing everyone a favour by opening on weekends, because most of the car owners work on weekdays. Do you think they will specially take leave on a weekday, go to your shop to change their rubber at a more expensive price compared to PH which opens on weekends and have a better price than what you are selling for? I know I wouldn't.

 

As for claiming that PH sells their stuff at below cost, well I have no comments on that but how do we know that you are not overpricing your items instead? I believe they managed to survive so long is purely due to hard work, minimal profit and high sales volume. Compared to typical shops that mark up too high, don't open on weekends and end up having low sales volume due to the high prices and restrictive opening hours. How long would they survive? Another point worth taking note is perhaps your cost price is higher than PH.

 

My opinion is that service oriented businesses should always be available on weekends.

 

Perhaps you should just reflect on your own business model instead of shooting others instead.

 

Cheers

OK thanks. I know Vincent of EW. I got my battery from him early this year.

 

I was checking with him about 15" XM1 but that is not silica compound. If u can see any indication on the sidewall that it's full silica please let me know.
