[QUOTE="MikeTan, post: 744918, member: 46808"] I got my 4 tyres changed at KW Auto Tyre Services Sdn. Bhd. No. 164D & E, Jln Chan Sow I, Off Jln Sungai Besi, last year (Sep'15) at a total of RM6,466 but with Continental Sport Contact 3 SSR (same size with yours). After 10 months of 25,000km travelling, both front tyres wore out (uneven thread) and I got replacement at BMW Batu Pahat (Millennium Welt) at RM3,324.97. (Dunlop 245/45R18) It depend on how you look at the difference of RM1,164. Warranty is another issue you have to consider. How many time your tyre [COLOR=rgb(40,40,40)]puncture [/COLOR]within a year? Brand of the tyre is also important, durability and quality. So far I am satisfied with Dunlop. The workers' skill of the alignment is important. Never go to a inexperienced workshop as they don't realise how fast the car can go. If I am not mistaken 1 to 1 only applicable to at least 90% of tyre thread. if more then that, buyer have to top up a little bit for 1 to 1 replacement. E.g. Thread at 70%, you have to pay 30% of new tyre fee. BMW is definitely cost a bit higher but if not much difference then you can consider that as an insurance for your tyre. Please check with difference authorised dealers, you might surprise there will be a price difference. Klang have the cheapest type in town but beware of the manufacturing date (stated on the tyre), make sure you get not more than 1 year from the manufactured date as the life time is normally less than 3 or 4 years.
