balancing+workmanship ok ok la~
but jus b carefull can edi~

be careful? mind to explain more?

tek ming is also famous for chopping camber nuts while doin alignment n re-threaded tires cuz my fren ask me 2 go wit him tat day~

wah.....then better dont go lor, but i think i will look for Ze912 or hankook V12 if want to change, if Ze912 then better go Hup Shun lor, if V12 then go tek ming

how to see the tires is re-thread or not?

u just need to know ur stuff before going to tek ming (or any workshop for that matter)

i just recently changed my tires in tek ming and it was ok la...they didnt try to do any funny funny stuff except ask me to change my tire valves (except that my valves are still new and theyre the steel type)

tires valve not free one ar? i thought tires valve and balancing suppose to be free?

dirty tactics mah~

haha....just checked the car's tires, using dunlop D-01, no good no good, next time change to Ze912, but now there are still 30% thread left, i think should be ok to drive around.

at tekming, if i recalled, balancing is free. alignment chargeable. yes, they always tried to get you change your tire valves.

EVERYTHING is chargeable la....even the tire valves...if they want..they can even charge u for the valve caps..

but most of the time the rubber tire valves are free la. especially when u buy rims...

but whether free or not depends on what ur doing la...if u buy tires of course most of the time balancing is free....but if out of the blue u come and just wanna do balancing and nothing else of course they charge.

ok la... quite cheap for the tires... i thought 17" is around RM400 and above that is the Manufacturing date for the tires???



a bit dangerous lo if you say no good...
Goodyear NCT5... haven reach the safety mark i throw already...
Michelin PP2 after safety mark left 1mm of less i still can use the gripping is still there...
up to you mah... better change... i thought D-01 ok coz saw a lot of cars using it...

a lots tire shop in Klang Valley did ask ppl to change tis and that or do some adjustment here and there...
that is their tactics to get more $$ mah...

aiya....not my car, and got to convince the car owner

just now drive that car, eventhough it is "kereta potong", but the handling still better than my vios (stock)

now if i go to tire shop, if they ask me to change camber or camber nut, i will ask them give me back the key i go the other place and do

where can i find the new VIOS tyres ? i think its 185/60/15

how much roughly the tyres + installation & balancing...

aiya.....see wrong already i thought is 14"

i just bought 4 pp2 tires for my myvi, handling and grip is superb. this tire is very sticky when it's hot, it'll stick all the stones on the tire and those stones will be flying in the fender. lol.

anyway the price is

185/60/14 - RM195 + free balancing, alignment and 4 tire valve, Kim Heng Sunway (22 June 2009)

the manager there is very friendly, ah keong. but the staff there tried to chop me, asked me to install camber for RM55 each tire in front.

friendly is the key for chopping others

PP2 of coz good lar, hard sidewall, but not much comfort lar

if we install camber nut we can really adjust the camber ar?

I think it still ok if you buy toyota cars... with normal setup...
coz the suspension is quite soft... so if harder tire you still feel ok...
just like i used 2 set of PP2 on my Vios...

but if you drive like honda... ppl will complain the ride quite harsh already...
