Tyre

My car alignment is out recently.My steering is not straight like it used to be.hmm..few degree to the right i guess.Just feel not comfortable with it.

Today after class, straight away rush to tyre shop that my dad recommend me.Drive my car in, my dad call and ask me pass the phone to the shop boss.Talk for a while and i just seating there. Later i was invited to the air-conditioned waiting lounge. Yes tyre shop do have waiting lounge with comfortable sofas and plenty of magazines. i saw a nice golden globe and turned it few round to understand more about Africa.lots of small country in Africa.

The shop boss suddenly come in and seat beside me. Saw my laptop, the long unexpected chat started. He actually asked lots of stuff on computer, and didn’t want to involved tyre stuff. Yes he speak with me in fluent English..mind you tyre shop boss/workers give me a impression that they are not highly educated nor fluent in English speaking. This owner speak very fluent English.

Speak about tyres.learn few stuff from him, mostly on tread and compound…but not much because he is bored with tyre topic. He explain to me that quiet tyre is not very good in channelling water because the soft compound and smaller tread design.While performance tyre is not that quiet because of the bigger tread design and rougher surface.

On my car good year NCT5. The comment from the boss is that the tyre is quite good just that after the tyre left 50% tread, it will become very noisy. Good news is that goodyear is slowly phasing out NCT5 with Duraplus that claim to be long lasting.

For my myvi, yes he still recommend a new 15inch rims for a more balanced ride. 1 of his customer using 17inch with adjustable suspension for myvi..haha out of mind really. I plan to change to 15inch after my current tyre wear out.

Avanza sportivo edition anyone. The boss wifey car avanza is damn cool with lovered ride and nice rim.ohya sports suspension and hard spring that killing his wife with the hard ride that his wife complaint.

Never have chance to look at his Toyota Wish 2.0 with 17 inch tyre and HID. haha..should be a cool car for an uncle at his age.

Just some advised from him to me personally..drive carefully at road bend and corner. He do not wish a turtle-ed myvi.

Realistic i know..just a myvi…i’m happy that it can bring me to anywhere safely.

I know is a long post…you all must be falling asleep while reading it. yes i am not KennySia the famous blogger nor Vkeong the famous food blogger. Just the normal tzmin that write like his own personal diary.

Lastly, i do get FOC for the tyre alignment and balancing just by chatting with him for 2-3 hours…Tzmin Boleh!!
