Time for a change of tyres again.

[VellfireS]

how to find the year of manufacture?

wah. 3 years 20k?! my car less than 2 years 50k liao..

The one shown is a metal valve, I don't think normal cars come with that. Yours should be rubber valve wih chrome cover.

 

Mine is aftermarket rims with this metal valve.

Oh I see. Good stuff!

 

No need to change then.

How come urs made in vietnam and mine made in korea?

 

some bro here mentioned this model is made in both countries... MIK is more ex...

[Civic2000]

By right every tyre change should change the valve too.

When I changed my rubbers at AL about a month ago, they also changed the valves foc for me.

The valve is not expensive. Its not a big loss to the shop if they give FOC.

Seems like AL price very very competative...

I jus went to a new tyre shop at yishun bizhub ave 1. Open by an ex mech previously working for a well known tyre shop.

 

Shop name Tyre Track. Changed out my ever trusted Michelin Pilot sports 3 n buy back same tyre model again coz its bloody good price promo fr him. 205 55 16 at 150nett per pc onli. Some more made in Germany...not china or thai mich.

 

Look for Lee Sheng the owner.

 

 

I saw this tyre n size advertised in MCF abt same price by saveral shops.

 

I looking for 205/50/16 n was quoted $180/pc. A bit too ex. U know if he sell this size n how much?

 

205/55/16 the profile too high fr me.

[Pisces69]

my tyers already 3 years but just 20k km, does it need to change?

 

 

Can still use lah unless the tire start to hv any defects. Then u sud change.

 

Normally tires easily last 5 years plus.

[Pisces69]

paiseh, typo error is 150ringgit

 

 

Still damm cheap.

 

Can share which shops selling at this price?

[Pisces69]

My old tires already used till wear indicator there liao. I never enquire abt trade-in. Just left the tyres at their place and left after they are done.

 

 

Ty wil b put to good use on some bumboat as bumpers tied to the side of the boat.

No lah. For car tyres, I think they will recycle. They use truck tyres for bumboat as fenders. For bigger boats, they use aircraft tyres. And even bigger ships, they use yokohama fenders which are freaking huge and require a davit to launch it.

Hahaha. A bit too far to drive fr tires fr me.

[Noobdriver]

My first time changing tyres anyone can help me with this? The shop recommended me Pirelli tyres for 18'' rims for $180 each. I looked through the threads and saw that tyres are not that expensive generally. But Pirelli seems like a good brand, so is it worth it?

[Sgbikee80]

Has anyone took up the Hankook trade in tires promo?

Is it a good deal?

IF YOU discover the WS don't replace new valve while replacing new tyre (this WS should be avoided)

 

I agree. Had some experience with some tyre shops which skip that.

 

I will change them all at the same time.
