Good morning all

 

Before I go trawling round every tire shop in Pattaya, thought I'd ask in here first.

 

My car needs a full new set of boots and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations where to go for a good deal for a good set of quality tires.

 

many thanks for any input

Had our car's tires changed at the B-Quik on Sukhumvit/Pattaya Tai. No complaints.

I have been using a small mom and pop shop for years now, halfway up theppasit road. just past the new traffic lights towards suk rd.

New tyres, repairs, repairs to a broken rim, often no charge for small jobs. They may not be the cheapest or have the biggest range but I prefer the personal service and have built a relationship.

Yes

Coming out of Pattaya Tai and heading north. 2nd on the left after the Esso garage, got a Maxxis sign above his shop, but can get you other brands.

 

He has always been fair to me, competitive with pricing.

Slightly off-topic, but I'd love to know a reliable place for wheel balancing and alignment please!

Any place selling tyres will do balancing. As to alignment, I got it done inclusive when I bought 4 new tyres at a Maxxis. This one actually...

Dunlop,  Sukhumvit heading North toward Pattaya Nua. 

Once pass Homepro continue straight before or after gas station big yellow building they can do everything.

I got a new set of Maxis from my local Tireplus, they told me wheel balancing free, I watched them, waited till a 4 wheels were fitted and tightened, then went and told the reception, they have not balanced the rear wheels ''Oh we only do the front" JEEZ!  I told them to balance the rear also or I don't pay, yep off they came and got balanced. They also did not submerse in water after fitting new tires, or use a torque wrench on the nuts and i had to show them the sticker on the door post to point out the Correct pressure. plonkers.

Here. Always had good service and price.

MAXXIS Just outside Pattaya Left hand side heading south on Sukhumvit

Cockpit, southbound on Sukhumvit between Pattaya Central and Pattaya Tai junctions ( 12°55'27.82"N 100°53'55.48"E).

 

Excellent service, I went in for two fronts and they checked all five, the spare was flat so they reseated it, all at no extra charge.

 

My go-to tire spot.

The motorbike place near me always pumps tyres up to super rock hard.... blew my damned guage apart when I tried to measure them.

Why doesnt that suprise me?

emmmmmmm.......
I don't know.

If you don't watch their every move then at the end of the day it doesn't matter who you chose. (As all 'tradesmen' in Thailand), I have never found One tire place yet, that know every car has a tire pressure sticker on the door post.

One franchised store will not be the same as another of the same franchise. Including main dealerships.

No sitting in their A/C room drinking coffee for me. Years in the trade taught me that.
