[QUOTE="RK68, post: 754721, member: 58197"] Hi. I have been searching in websites for some decent tyre inflators. There are many types sold in Lazada etc. Some are branded eg Michelin or Toyota etc. I have doubt whether these are really genuine. A lot of the inflators there does not receive good reviews from buyers. Amazon does have brands with some good reviews. I do find Goodyear branded inflators with quite a number of models being sold in overseas markets. So, in short, I have not found the right inflator yet that I dare to invest now. I also did some surveys on the trend of the current tyre prices. So far I found the price difference has narrowed between a non-RFT tyre and RFT in recent times. Eg: a Michellin Pilot Sport 4 (non-RFT) cost about RM500+. Whereas Bridgestone Potenza s001 RFT I am able to get at RM600. Pirelli P7 (non-RFT) is pricier about RM700. There are some cheaper choices with lower-spec tyres or cheaper brands. In short RFT and Non-RFT prices are narrowing. The choices are also more. Of course, the main shortcoming for RFT is its shorter life span and a rougher ride. Thus a costlier tyre replacement cost in the long run. Kama, you mentioned can get the slim spare tire. How to identify the rims that will match the car? I have no idea about this. I am still narrowing down the choices. I am still trying to move away from RFT to experience the differences. Cheers.
