How to choose a tyre shop in Malaysia (2026)

Know your tyre size and load and speed rating from the sidewall or door placard, then compare prices for the same model and size. Check the manufacturing date code on the tyre, since older stock may be sold cheaply. A good shop will balance the wheels, check alignment and tyre pressure, and explain whether all four tyres or just a pair need changing.

FAQ

How often should tyres be replaced?

When tread is worn to the wear indicator, when damaged, or as advised by the maker, often around 5–6 years.

Do I need alignment after new tyres?

It is a good idea, especially if the old tyres wore unevenly.

What tyre pressure should I use?

Use the figure on the door placard or owner's manual, checked when tyres are cold.
