@Thaiyotakamli brother , he is running on 18 inchwheel

[Roberttan]

@Shouyi  wow , you really plan untill 3 years ahead of your tire change 😄

[Roberttan]

@Shouyi  check from online info , if the original wheel width is 7 inch wide , only option is change to 215/45/18

225/40/18 is very common but this 7 inch width rim is not recommended .

correct me if i am wrong

you can consider to go back to agent and change. 

If rare size tyre, it will be expensive if you change outside anyway.

Is it this exact rim design? It should be able to accommodate one size wider aka 215/45/r18 which is more common and cheaper in Singapore.

If the rim is 7.0J, do check with tire shop whether it can accommodate 225 width. My factory 7.0J rims from other car brand are using 225/45 right now.

Same with the silly Renault grand scenic size. 195/55/20. But rather common now. Even tourador has it. 😝

Nice design! It's also 7.0J for this, so my earlier reply still stands 👍

Can try to Facebook messenger Goodyear Singapore, Michelin Singapore etc. My car is using odd sizes too and they advised which tyre shop carries them.

[wlalala]

actually for tyres is there any importer that can import from overseas those that cannot be found in SG?

or any website that can order and ship to SG?
