I changed mine to Bridgestone Turanza GR90 185/65R15 at Chen Jin in Dec 2010 @ $125 per piece. Free lifetime rotation. AL Tyres quoted @$120 each then but no free rotation..

Just changed to Dunlop ve302 stock size. Noise significantly reduced compared to stock tyres. Grip is adequate both wet and dry.

However, the ride is sluggish even with 240psi. Maybe they r heavy tyres. FC dropped to average 14km/l from 15km/l.

$110 per piece with 4 rotations.

i am currently using Hankook K415 now..most prob will stay with the same...

one good thing abt Hankook is that there is only distributor in Sg, all outlets selling the same price...hence no fear abt kena carrot-choped.
further, a good tyre overall.

Oh i change Bosch S4 battery 65B24L -> 52Ahr (20hrs rate capacity), 480CCA (cold cranking amps) 210MYR at
same hawk tayar ~87sgd.

auto 101 sells for 130sgd ..
http://www.facebook.com/notes/auto-101-singapore/bosch-battery-compare-chart-with-price/316331598433155

sg everything is expensive lah, becuz of expensive property, sg income is low due to abundant cheap foreign labour.

Hey ahjie, is your GR90 still good? Was chatting with the technician at tanchong and he mentioned that GR90 wears out very fast. Last like less than 2 yrs..
