Hi Guys,

Im planning to visit genting on this coming weekend but car tyre seems quite botak.  sweat.gif
So any recommendation for good/reputable tyre shop around puchong?
i heard Klang can offer the best price but is it really worth driving so far to change there? confused.gif

Klang is not far. And its worth the drive there.


I have been changing my tyres at Klang for past 10 years for all our cars, and it is a yearly visit.


You can try Hin Leong or Hock Li at Jalan Kapar. They are next to each other.

I just changed 4 new 195/55/15s last week at Hock Li. They were Achilles ATRs for 109/ea plus GST. Price can't be beat anywhere else.

Yes im looking for this size too, and thanks for the tips! notworthy.gif  Btw how much is the total cost with the alignment? Just want to make sure i bring enough $.

Not done alignment there for some time, but i remember the prices were quite reasonable. Depending what needs to be changed, maybe less than 20/wheel. Usually only the fronts need adjustment, not much adjustment for the rear depending on the car.

They have also got Firestone touring for 128, a rather nice looking Maxxis for 155. So you can choose the one that suits your budget.

I went with the ATR because it was cheap, and very long lasting, considering I change tyres every year (I do 50K/year) and very deep threads for good wet pooling water on highways, and it being directional threaded, I can swap inside/outside for even wear.


On the other hand, the ATRs don't like moist or damp roads when cold despite the silica compound, and if you have a puncture, the sidewalls can fail if you drive on it too long without noticing you have a serious puncture. Otherwise, its a decent performer.
