Not very sure, My wife was driving when it happenned, I have not seen it yet. From what she said she heard a loud Bang, I think it's quite serious (something like Kimi Raikkenon? ) I am preparing to replace it.

[Magfocus]

i think in such instances, its better and safer to replace it

[Mondeo]

Can pay a visit to Yap brothers tyre shop.

Ubi Ave 1, Paya Ubi Ind. park.

and there's also another tyre shop - Leong Seng tyres, just only few shops distance.

[Seahorse88]

Ya lor, looks like no choice. Any good recommendation? I think not many shops carry this size. How about the one opposite Ikea in Alexandra RD?

[Magfocus]

Like what Mondeo said, Leong Seng at Alexandra. Give them a call first..save you a trip if they happen not to carry

[Seahorse88]

Thanks, do u have their contacts? Check with them first for the price and availability.

My sprae tyre is those skinny type that meant to be use as temporary replacement. Good idea to use the repaired one (if it can be done) as a spare.

[Seahorse88]

Thanks, is this not the same as the one given by Mondeo? Good if it is in Alexandra, I live around there.

[Mondeo]

so bring there let them to check.

Or U can check the present sparetyre's size of the rim compara with the rest.

If rim size same, then can be done

[Magfocus]

Yes the one i gave you is the Alexandra one. I had my wheels and Tyres changed there

[Seahorse88]

Yup, will do that, but I doubt it as my spretyre is really skinny type, some thing 185?

any way will let them check.

 

Gotto run now to pick up the car and the kids from school.

 

Thanks guys!

Hi Seahorse88

 

 

 

In Singapore, it's pretty expensive to get tyres with a sidewall height of 70. I'm currently using Michelin LTX 225/70/16, 101S. The only plc I could think of for a Dueller is from Eagle Tyre in JB. They are agents for Bridestone in JB. The last time when I asked for a Dueller 2, 255/75/16, they quoted me like $RM300+.For our size it should be cheaper. If tiy are thinking of changing of changing all 4 rubbers, I'd recommand Cooper from US of A. Bout S$140/pc. Here the address of Hawk Tyre and Hong Leong for Cooper. Maybe you can call to enquire b4 you go down.

Thx Lester.

I got mine from Leong Seng in Alexandra Rd yesterday, and yes it was $140. Actually Kevin Tay quoted me $165 in the morning but didn't hv ready stock and asked me to leave the tyre rim behind so that I can collect it later. When I return in the evening, Kevin was not there but his mother charged me $140 only....Sly Kevin Maybe it was my fault did not do proper market syrvey

Although LS is reputed for a wide range and "sometimes" good prices....they have multi-standards
