Thanks. https://www.facebook.com/petlassingapore If you are not a private hire or your car is only left less than 6 months to scape, I will suggest you to go with more renowned tyres brand like goodyear, Pirelli or bridgestone. After all, there is an old saying that says the only thing that has contact between your car and the road is the tyres. Don't scrimp that little saving without buying some assurance. It is like buying insurance. Nobody needs to buy insurance but everyone buys because of assurance. So choose good tyres and when you really brake hard and wanna avoid an accident, there are vast differences between these tyres. And when you are familiar with your car, the next best thing that you can upgrade is your tyre, it helps with the characteristic of your car, so if you are an enthusiast, don't save on tyres. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think so. But for PHV case, it is a business, so I think not a lot of PHV owner or Car rental company will want to invest in higher quality tyres. they more they spend, the lesser their profit margin. Then again, not all china tyres are bad too. there are brands like Giti and Nankang (from taiwan) are making very good tyres. If they have strong dealership support in SG, I am sure I don't mind trying too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me a good set of tyre is not foolproof but good preventive measure to prevent accident. a difference of breaking distance of even 1m can reduce impact or avoid accident.

Mkl22 Twincharged June 16, 2021 Share June 16, 2021 (edited) For me the price gap isn’t large enough. I was quoted for petlas and found that for just $5-10 more I could get Bridgestone or Goodyear. for me the best bang for buck tires are kumho PS31.

If you are a PHV driver you want the best tyres. If you are a rock climber climbing a mountain you want to use old cheap worn out rope? Your life depends on it.

For me bang for buck is GT Radial tyre, kind of a yoko copycat. Googled and was surprised its linked to local. WHO MAKES GT RADIAL TIRES? GT Radial tires are manufactured by Giti Tire. The Singapore-based Giti Tire Group is one of the largest tire companies in the world and has been in the tire business since 1951. Giti Tire operates eight manufacturing plants and produces a broad range of tire products, serving major original equipment vehicle manufacturers, auto service outlets, tire dealers and consumers in more than 130 countries worldwide. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
