Albeniz Turbocharged April 6, 2019 Share April 6, 2019 (edited) Any cheap-good tyre shops in Bukit Batok, Toh Guan, Yew Tee Industrial, Sungei Kadut area to recommend? Thinking of replacing tyres for size 215/60/R16 Are Poh Heng and Soh Bros at AMK still the hot favourite? Edited April 6, 2019 by Albeniz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gesso Clutched April 13, 2019 Share April 13, 2019 I finally bought the wheels of my dreams))) Now you can rate my BMW 6 series Gran Coupe. This is Motion Wheels MM119 forged. By the way, this is a unique color. Specially ordered. It looks very beautiful, especially in the sun. I like it. What do you say? Interested in your opinions. ⠀ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JX83 3rd Gear April 20, 2019 Share April 20, 2019 AL - fast, cheap, good. Hahaha I beg to differ. Ever since my last fk up experience from their Ubi outlet. I won’t recommend ppl to go there ever again. Last place on Earth I would even recommend. Anyway long story.. There are other tyre shops which are far better in my opinion. No offence to those who supported their shop. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yokohama BluEarh ES32 price is $110 each tyre, sharing the price just in case you are interested. Edited April 27, 2019 by Albeniz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonhat_91 6th Gear May 1, 2019 Share May 1, 2019 The other day I found a nail in my front tyre, and managed to limp to a tyre shop in loyang intending to do a tyre plug. But the mechanic told me that the tyre was old and cracked and couldn't be plugged. Since about time to change tyres anyway, opted to change all. Tyres never changed since rolling out of AD new in May 2016, current mileage 47k+ km. Except one tyre, which was replaced in July 2017 due to complete burst - by now should have clocked 30k+ km or so. Previously using CC5, I was quoted $420 for CPC5 (185/65 R15). Then the mechanic told me and showed me that the stock rim had denting, and said that this can damage the new tyres and recommended to change new rims. Honestly to my noobie eyes I cannot really see the dents. Anyway in the end I have changed to new SSW 332 15" rims, and the final price I was charged $800 (i.e. $380 for the rims). My first time changing whole tyre set and aftermarket rims. Just want to ask: 1) For $800 new tyres+rims, did I get chopped carrot? 2) Re: the tyre too old to be plugged, is that true? 3) Re: the stock rim dented will cause damage to the new tyres, is that true or was it just a fear mongering sales pitch? I reiterate I could not see any obvious dents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reiterate I could not see any obvious dents. IMG_20190501_152934_HDR.jpg let me share my personal views old tire couldn't be plugged ? 2)Yes , to do a Hole plug is simple but can the Plug repaired last and Safe to use is Important , hardened (very old like more than 5 yrs) when service provider gave you advice you can always ask for reason , from his explanations try to understand does it make sense or Logic. or just sales talk. hardened tire crack easily thus especially when they have to Use FORCE to push in the whole tool with the sticky worms it sometime make the hole bigger or tear, mostly the plug will leak again in the near future. 1)$800 new tires and rim= chop ? no comment. (to be is sounds good buy) BUT if your wheels changed is not necessary will be Bad deal. 3)any dented wheels can cause some issue to connected parts like tire , suspension system , wheels bearing or vibration etc, when the workshop mentioned your wheel dented , can just ask politely can you show me how the see the dented part ? (if he can see I supposed we all also can see) even they use any x-ray machine they can still show you from the screen ? Most simple way is ask to show you on the Wheel on Wheel balancing Machine .(is it truth that some dent cant be seen by eye vision. MHO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boonhat_91 6th Gear May 3, 2019 Share May 3, 2019 thanks for your views! To be fair my tyres were getting old, 3 years old and 47k+ km mileage, can see it is worn and look a bit cracked. He did show me the dent by spinning the wheel on some machine(?) but to my own eyes I can't tell. Maybe blame it on my inexperience. let me share my personal views old tire couldn't be plugged ? 2)Yes , to do a Hole plug is simple but can the Plug repaired last and Safe to use is Important , hardened (very old like more than 5 yrs) when service provider gave you advice you can always ask for reason , from his explanations try to understand does it make sense or Logic. or just sales talk. hardened tire crack easily thus especially when they have to Use FORCE to push in the whole tool with the sticky worms it sometime make the hole bigger or tear, mostly the plug will leak again in the near future. 1)$800 new tires and rim= chop ? no comment.
