Then when they open in east side, me go east side to rotate cos nearer.

agreed used to be with them, that period they were popular with a lot of recommendations. I've moved on for many years, realised pricing a bit on the high after they gotten popular. 

His prices were cheap at the start and he used the forums well. Then like you said business flourished, he couldn’t really cope, hired extra help and slowly prices went up. 
experienced the rough handling of rims from the hired help and then decided not to return.

Any recommendations for most competent tire shop? Looking for Pirellis  

Have only encountered once (at Bridgestone’s own outlet) where tire was correctly aligned and mounted, and lug nuts were installed with a torque wrench. It was a Japanese guy who did the job. Sadly, that place is gone I think. 
 

Many other tire shops aren’t even aware what the red and yellow marks on a new tire are for. 
 

Appreciate any recommendations of professional shops. Many thanks!

My current tyres are Yokohama Bluearth ES32 and size is 215/60R16.

About time to change and price from Autobacs is $688.

Are there equivalent brands or better value for money ones?

Don't be shocked at the price.

If you not put off by the price do your research and then realise we have been way overpaying for tyres.

maybe I should list out my preferences

- don't need free patching

- don't need free wheel rotation

- don't need to be the cheapest in town

- handle my car and wheels with care

- do a good wheel balancing job

- not over tightening the wheel bolts

- most importantly, don't say the followings to me

"boss, your wheel is warp"

"boss, your tyres eat one side, need wheel alignment"

"boss, your wheel has hairline crack"

 

This is funny. My recent tyre change did resulted in having comments like slightly warped wheels and rust in the rims.

I thought stock rims for Honda City should be some kind of alloy and not steel rims, how to have rust?
