Always the check the Date of Manufacturing of the tyres. I heard that there are workshops that take >2years tyres from SGP and sell. In our humid environment, anything more than 2 years are not advisable... unless the tyres have been kept in a well sheltered and humidity controlled warehouse.

That I don't know.But what i heard is that he got warranty card for 6 years if the tyre ka-boom,which i think i crap. I don't think is old tyre cuz he did ask me if i check my manufacture date when i change,i just changed my recently also.

Beware of 'immitation'

 

Check carefully

i agree with hamburger, same model of tyres actually more ex across the causeway. speaking from experience too. they got additional tax for imported tyres, plus high price for local made tyres. something to do with protecting their rubber industry.

Imitation?Probably.Maybe his Michellin is made in Malaysia.He keep saying my yokohama tyre lousy,but he paid cheaper to get a better brand.Lol.He likes to make me feel stupid,when his tyres give way,see who looks more stupid.

How come tyres in humid environment cannot last long? i thot it should be dry environment that will cause rubber to crack..

your "encik" as in army type??? if yes, can understand his behavior lah..imagine he lao jiao in the army but still need to salute to 2LT who is young n green green, self-esteem and confidence sure hit...some "encik" really think they know everything under the sun, moon n stars...jack of all trade but master of none...this also applies to ocifer as well....

if i m not wrong tyres has a thin layer of protecting wax, when expose to elements for a long period of time, this wax will deteriorate thus tyres will crack...just like the spare tyre in car boot, if the owner never use throughout the ownership lifespan, you will see the tyre crack even though our climate is humid...
