Never compomise on tyres, the only contact with the ground. I'll get new. Should be able to get $400 for 4 pcs for this size, will be cheaper if go Korean brands. If 2nd hand "branded" tyres is like take off from new car or 99% brand new, then can consider. Usually, can get a good bargain. My friend got used GY F1 Assymetric 245/35/R19 for $150 per pc from a tyre shop. If brand new around $300 to $400, it's 90% new coz owner decide to trade-in rim/tyres after 1 to 2 months.

go for new tyres. By just saving and later got into some other touch wood problem it is not worth it. Tyres are like your car's legs. Give them proper shoes.

Need to add fitting charges which is $10+ per tyre depending on which fitting location you choose.

if condition good, made from japan, price cheap, why not?

 

[SimonTan]

Those take off tyres are also not cheap. Have to source around......but get a new cheap tyres if really budget is tight.

Your car only scrap next year nov, still a long way. Better to get a new sets of tyre but maybe no need to get to expensive lo.

The thing is that you will never be sure how good is the condition is? how?? by your naked eyes, you can tell if the tyres are good??

 

i give you a breakdown of cost. Like say, you can save $50 per tyre, that's $200 for 4 tyres. 1.5 years has 550 days.

 

you take $200 divide by 550 days, thats 36 cents per day..... i ask you; "is it worth to save this 36 cents, on your life and safety?"

 

your life and car only worth 36 cents per day? you drink one kopi, already cost how much?

 

 

Some of us have actually seen how ws re-do the tyres.... they actually used a cutter and cut the threads on an used tyre and re-sell them as 2nd hand tyres...... so u tell me if they are safe to use?

 

I have seen it by myself in SG ws, not JB ws hor........
