Rims / Tyre Enquiry Thread

[Ashcroftx]

hello,

 

i'm thinking about changing the tires of my SPARKS. but i'm not sure whether dunlop or bridgestone. can anyone recommend me? and please tell me the price range. i want to change in singapore. thanks

 

 

Bro, there are 2 kinds of dunlop tires.

 

Thai made Dunlop(Less Exp) and Jap made Dunlop (More exp).

 

The difference is that thai made dunlop are said to be less grips then jap

made ones. So pricing is also a difference. Thai ones are much cheaper.

 

Thai made Dunlop tires --$90++ both front and back

Jap made Dunlop tires --$130++ both front and back

 

For Bridgestone tires, i would say it is so called "The Best"..

However, due to its thickness, speed is affected alittle bit.

 

Bridgestone Battlax tires -- $135++ both front and back.

battlelax tires at $135 ++ at where? LAB?

[Ashcroftx]

Unique Motorsports. Include installation

[y0s_bikey]

if managed to spot any cheap good tyres dun forget to check the manufacturer date of the tyre, no point getting cheap tyre dats already so long up in the shelf

[Ashcroftx]

True.. Whenever the mechanic picks the tyres..

 

Always change the manufacture date..

 

More than 6months can ask them to change another piece.

 

Unquie motorsports is a new shop opened since may..

 

so their tyres should nt be a problem.

[ahkiat]

where is unique motorsports located at?

[Cool-Clown]

Eunos industrial area...not far from the Interchnge. Or can be said juz behind S'pore post area.

buying a rims from online there are alot of things u need to check it out like wave S and wave R the rims are different liao cos 1 digital meter and the other is analogue, hub there is difference as well so it will b best to buy from same make and model the previous owner used

[Ashcroftx]

Its better to buy a pair of new rims instead of a set of old one.

 

Difference is not much off.. so i rather spend a little bit more.
