I just got mine changed at Poh Heng today. Went to a few places but all r those so called sporty type which is very common. Not much design to fit 225/45/17 which gives more stability. End up at PH where they have more designs.

Bro Kiaboi was there earlier to change tyres too. Price is higher than AL Tyres. However, they take in ur trade in higher. Thus, come to abt the same w AL Tyres. Moreover, More choices of rims too! Look for Justin to give u quote on price as his father always quote higher price for e same items. Can negotiate price w Justin wan. Overall, my wife say prefer Poh Heng cos the designs at AL Tyres mostly looks the same. I guess is up to individual lor... Also, i believe all WS will have some "bad reviews" which is normal. No WS will always be tat good. IMHO, both AL Tyres & Poh Heng are the ones i'll go cos both locations r convenient to me! Either near my place or my In Law's place! Just a matter of do they have wat i'm looking for...

My findings: PH - Normal Rims ($170 x 4) + Tyres profile 225/45/17 ($220 x 4) = $1560 After Trade in, i paid $1400. AL - Normal Rims $620 + ($230 to $250 x 4) = $1540 to $1620 Max they do trade in at $80 to $100 which is $1440 to $1520. Most importantly, do they have the design u fancy. Pricewise is very close. Depends how deep ur pocket is! keke.... Hope this helps...

I go for stability & better tyres than FC cos i'm always on e road. Hence, safety is more important... keke... Btw, where u got ur rims & tyres? PH or AL?

I got my rims and tyres from PH! I never visit AL tyres cos PH is very near my house. Seems like i need to do something to my car to have better FC!

Do remember to do your high speed balance and wheel alignment test. And to rotate tyres every 10000km.
Seeya around guys. Drive safe. Cheers.
