Less than a year ago I paid app 2,200 Bt for a new rear tyre for my 8 year old Forza.

It got damaged so I decided to replace it. The new price from the same Honda shop was 2,765 Bt

Anyone know why this is, or is it just pure greed from my local agent?

 

 

2500 baht front and rear together on Lazada.

 

200  to fit.

 

Rear only 1450 baht on Lazada. Have a look.

Is that price for the same brand/tread,etc, as last year.

 

Or is there only a limited choice at your local shop?

 

Was the need to replace after 12 months, due to poor riding? Or riding on bad road conditions? Or from cheap poor quality tyre?

Getting upset over £11. 

Amazing.

The price of everything has gone up in the last year or so.  Where have you been?

Check on Lazada - you'll always pay the higher price direct from Honda.

"The price of everything has gone up in the last year or so."  By around 25%??

Thanks I will keep that in mind, only thing is there are too many cheating sellers dealing with Lazada and there is a good chance that I would probably get a different size of tyre if they did not have the one I wanted.

Much cheaper alternatives available, they charged falang price most likely. Try a different garage, My Kicker Fujiamas for my Click were good, under 600 each

Remember:

Keep a negative attitude.

That near always works.

How right you are especially with Lazada.

I've ordered so much stuff from Lazada over the years - literally hundreds of times, and never had an issue.

 

The link i shared is a bangkok based seller with many reviews, all of which look genuine - reviewers having posted pics, and written in non 'bot-like' translated thai - which is what you'll find on many of the china based sellers.

This is my selection criteria - works for me so far
