Monoswift Clutched November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 I am a happy Chen Jin customer too. The lady in charge at Kaki Bukit (ex-Upp Serangoon branch) was flexible enough to allow me to buy 4 tyres (cheaper package price); change 2 first, then 2 later after 10k due to my requirements. yea i totally with you on this! the lady is a very nice person.. patient and accomodate to the customers..

Kb27 Supersonic November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 confirm ah? but sgcarmart still shows that branches as serangoon and kaki bukit leh.. think i better give them a call before i go for my rotation.. Yes confirmed. I went to Upp Serangoon branch a few weeks ago to do tyre rotation. They were packing up for the move, so I didn't get to do the rotation. Then I went to Kaki Bukit branch just a few days ago. Now, they even have a hi-tech wheel alignment machine, which they did not have at Upp Serangoon.

Last time I bought Wide Oval, CJ quote me the cheapest however. Eng Wah quote was slightly more expensive and also very difficult to park there due to limited space. I avoid PH due to complains about the "fast" and slipshod job. They damaged my fren's bodykit and sometimes they don't balanced the wheels properly. So cheap also has its price.

Monoswift Clutched November 4, 2011 Share November 4, 2011 very obvious lah... those who have perfect feedback r mostly newbies with less than 500 post.... hmm...online forum information is quite subjective i guess.. how much to believe in what people say in online forum are at your own discretion ba.. cause nowadays internet can find so much info on a particular stuff.. people usually surf around too before making a decision on what they want...

Hanyoung Neutral Newbie November 4, 2011 Share November 4, 2011 Bro, What car are you driving? Your intention to switch from profile 195/60/15 to 195/50/15 is quite a lot and would affect the speedo reading and maybe the performance of your ride. Unless you are hopping over to 205/60-16. am using DNA dB for front, Aspec for rear....going to change this weekend most likely as wet weather are more frequent nowadays.... current profile: 195/60/15 for all 4.. may want to change to 195/45/15 or 195/50/15.....wats the lowest profile avail for 15"? what would be a gd upgrade or similar performance?.....i like dB's noise level and performance.... am looking at the below options currently: Michelin PS3 Toyo T1R Yoko dB Yoko S.drive appreciate all inputs...

Hanyoung Neutral Newbie November 4, 2011 Share November 4, 2011 Bro, You can use the following to check: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Basically, if our stock is 195/60-15 and you intent to lower the profile, upgrade the rim so your vehile height and speedo is not affected. If you just down size the profile with the same rim, then not only the speedo, but the ride comfort also would be compromised, Worst is the under-carriage may be sacrificed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soho 4th Gear November 5, 2011 Share November 5, 2011 eh... i didnt change my tyre at cheng jin... but i called to asked for some tyre price... to me the price is still ok.. not ex.. but not the cheapest... but i would just like to comment on their service.. i called and a lady picked up.. she patiently answer all my question and even gave recommendation and suggestion which i think its really very good... she didnt recommend a more ex tyre, but a cheaper tyre that suits my needs more... all i can say is from that phone call, i would buy tyres from them IF they carry the brand i wanted... but still nice services... PS: i have more than 500 word count and its just my own opinion... nowadays not alot owner will be patient enough to understand your needs and recommend u.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
