Tyre not consider maintenance. Normally will last 30K-50K mileage depending on what tyre you buy, the way you drive and the road you normally drive on. Stock Goodyear NCT5 normally quite lasting. It last me 55K last time on mostly highway drive. At most, it should be able to last at least 30K. That should be abt 2 years to 3 years depending on how much you use the car. If your mileage is very low, avg estimated 4 years HAVE to change tyres even if not used coz it start to harden and have hairline cracks on sidewall.
Nowadays, acceptable entry level tyres cost abt RM180 to RM200 per piece for standard 15".
Tyre price gone up d. I just changed mine to continental CC5 for Rm2++ already. The results really nice.

I just did my 1st wheel alignment after 15k mileage. the shop charged me RM135.
allignment = RM30
camber adjustment = RM35
front camber nuts = RM35 X 2 = RM70
the mechanic said need to install camber nuts @ front side for easier to align & to avoid uneven wear & tear @ both tyres.
after reading some post related to camber, i think i just got ripped off.damn!!!

You just got con. Alignment for RM30 is ok. camber nuts do cost Rm35 each. How did you drive your persona oh only 15k change chamber nut?? for chamber nut to run out of alignment is you drive at highway a lot or on uneven road a lot only your chamber nut will run out of alignment. For new car and city drive, chamber nut not so easy to run.
I drive like mad dog and already 1.8 yrs with my persona already and i haven changed my chamber nut also.
As for the chamber adjustment it cost you RM35 also lebih one. Mostly the adjust for you include installation for chamber nut.
mostly i do wheel alignment every 10K mileage. And only cost me about RM45-50. I do full balancing and full alignment. maube KL can get cheaper.
