Shibadog Turbocharged May 13, 2019 Share May 13, 2019 I am also looking for space saver tyres for my upcoming drive up to BKK. Difficult to find as my model in SG dont come with spare tyres. probably easier to find a full size spare? Also, consider that it may not be easy to find the correct tyre size (if need replacement) in ulu areas. Probably have to go to big city for that. I also carry a tyre repair kit (plug + air compressor) in addition to a full size spare. In fact, I considered carrying two full size spares for my long trips to north thai but decided one is probably enough. Turns out I didn't even have any punctures lol ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only want Safe and Happy journeys Agree. not a matter of how often. this kind of situation, hard to predict. must be extra careful and prepared esp if you are driving up north. imagine getting stuck on north-south highway. call help also take so long for them to come. worse, if those who come to help have hidden agenda. It's always good to have those things in the car. When trouble comes, you know you have something and can do something rather than wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberttan 5th Gear May 17, 2019 Share May 17, 2019 Nothing comes up for my car model. My car PCD is 5 x 112. pcd 5X112 IS NOT sufficient info , still have the center hole size , and again beware of your Brake kit. and those online selling donut beware of long aged tire and Fitment . To me best if you happend to buy and once you recieved it try on your car both Front and Rear, otherwise you are carrying a Unfit spare wheel ..your heart might explode when you need in in the middel of the road Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

therock Supersonic June 6, 2019 Author Share June 6, 2019 Just had a brisk run on the north south highway and there’s a vibration at higher speeds I’m guessing it has something to do with the new tires? Any place which does a good balancing? KL or SG? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
