QUOTE(LowKeras @ Jul 26 2019, 10:59 AM) can't do the math. >17 a lot are imported... u factor in the currency rate and if i m not mistaken tyre are taxable in malaysia to protect our own rubber industry.. 13" average 130 14" average 160 16" average 230 17" average 300 does the material cost alot for each inch increase? u see 13 vs 17 just 4 inch diff. but cost more than double thats why sg car with small size tyre comes in malaysia for tyre change.. my car with big tyre going sg for tyre change |

QUOTE(LowKeras @ Jul 26 2019, 11:13 AM) oh understand. by far I believe even there have taxes to protect local manufacturer. but the price still few times. which is give the doubt of manufacturing cost diff by few times ? consider production cost vs production vol also.. yes, i know what you mean. the surface area is bigger but usually raw material usually cost 30% of their manufacturing cost. smaler typre have bigger market they can produce high vol with same / 10-20% of extra overhead/raw bigger tyre have smaller market they have to produce lower quantity with same amt of resources in factory.. Shipping also... 1 container says can fit in 1200 pcs of 14" tyre maybe can only fit 800 pcs of 19" tyre. the bigger the tyre goes it will be more exp.. until it gets more and more popular then only we will see price dropped.. but the last point is: regardless where is it.. michelin comment also the same.. good tyre but expensive.. u can read their comment on their tyre review.. these are the common feedback.. |

QUOTE(budak minyak @ Jul 26 2019, 11:39 AM) good timing for Michelin to join in the SUV tyres segment. As we know here in Malaysia, the SUV sales are keep increasing by days (thanks to x70). Hopefully with more competitions, it will benefits the consumers as there will be plenty of choices hence will bring down the price. finger crossed. they always have this segment.. but not many ppl willing to spend the money.. its call latitude sport.. this time they intro smaller size smaller price |
