Pls check the tyre manufacture date. The four digit code can be found on the sidewall. Normally in a "box". 3814 means 34th week of 2014.

Just patch a punctured PS3 tyre. The shop suggest to change 2 or 4 tire to balance the tire. The car is now left with one year, so wonder if (1) change one tyre or (2) change 2 cheap tires at JB. Would there be big issue? TIA

If I am you, will change in JB as made in Thailand PS3 is a better deal.
As what you changed is PI tyres(PS3) which it's sidewall is softer thou.
Apart from that, I think some JB tyre's shops will include free alignment too(that is what I did too).

Anyway enjoy driving and respect the road together with other road users too.

Happy New Year ya

Changed in johor jaya

Used to use Yokohama Geolandar SUV @ RM510/piece
Recently try Bridgestone Dueler H/T @ RM500/piece
Bridgestone Dueler A/T only RM510/piece.
Too bad current 225/65R17 already rubbing against body, maybe will be grinding off the body to fit it in the future to fit the A/T. :s13:

Hi, I am also looking for tires. In SG :

1) Geolander SUV is $170
2) Geolander HT is $189 (no stocks)
3) Hancook HP is $140
4) Maxxis HT is $150

Am finding out if Maxxis HT would be cheaper in JB.

Went JB a few days ago was introduced to Toyo UP tires. Selling about SGD$130 with balancing included

just check this tire vs my PS3 which one better?

last month was quote less than RM$900 for 195/55

i need wet grip
I was on PI PS3 previously, which is quite good and served me well on both wet & dry condition.

Am currently on RE003 (made in Thailand); the grip is equally good, but feel it slightly better as it's side-wall is harder (as I do believe bridgestone tyres do have hard side-wall).

So my opinion is whichever is cheaper at that point of time, just go for it.

Hope it helps.
