sometimes not everything there is cheaper and better.

 

for eg: aftermkt airfilter are cheaper here. cuz they import from us too.

Yes u r right. Heard from my m'sian colleague that branded tyres are generally cheaper here.

 

However if u r going for those unknown brands or tyres made in MY, it will be cheaper there.

U can always check the manufacture date on the tyres.

Visiting the famous tyre shops on weekends sometimes u see their car changing tyres there..

 

i did my research b4.. for eg, the gy eagle F1 is made in msia instead of germany or thailand. if u want must special indent which will cost more than sg liao.

 

so to say its cheaper and has a wider range back here.
