Hi guys, after much looking around & self debates... Decided to give Yokohama Earth-1 a try... Its belongs to the 'low-roll-resistance' family...
Will be changing them tomorrow morning @ Chen Jin Trading's Serangoon branch... Similarly, if anyone wana come along to kapo... Give me a buzz...
& thanks for all the recommendations & advice given!

Hahaha... bro, too early to tell lah... Only less than 24 hrs since changed & only drove twice on these set of new tyres... However, can feel that they r much quieter & comfy than my old tyres (which were Yokohama ASPEC, think they were noiser bec' they were old liao & had hardern...) Well, will have to drive more before i can judge accurately...

Just discover one of the tire is worn out on one side and only 1 tire.
Is there something to do with the alignment ? Or is it something else ?
How much do it cost to do alignment ?
Does tire shop sell 1 tire ?
Anyone experience that before.....first time leh.....

ya... its probably alignment... or u constantly turn at high-speed at a particular side??? think normal alignment is very cheap only...
of cos... tyre shops do sell just 1 tyre...

KU31, 15"? if its S$81, then its fairly cheap...
heard there are many good feedback for tyrepac...
for my case, i chose yokohama earth-1, then tyrepac not the cheapest...

Was thinking of going for Falken......quiet but of course, the price to pay is shorter life span. Becos, the rubber is soft. This Kumho KU31......is this the same thing you all have been talking about ? Vietnam made.......all new kumho seems to come from there..... Thinking of the cheapest Rockstone or Kumho.... Is KU31 long lasting ? How far ? Anyway, got a $35 second tire to replace worn out.......seem like no one in Singapore will do wheel alignment without buy a new set of tires.....heee......

tyre prices are slowly rising... If need to change, better change early...

Ya.....everything are rising. If you see a good deal, just stock up some. EO laa, Filter laaa.....something like that. As for my tires, I usually change every 2 year. Now only 1 1/2 year. I think I need to fix my wheel alignment first before I get a new set of wheel.....hmmmmmm tyre prices are slowly rising... If need to change, better change early...
