Tire Shops?

[joe84330]

looking for some new rubber for my truck. stopped at the bridgestone shop near the thai market in nathon but wanted to ask the all knowing Samui TV crowd where to go, or better yet, where not to go.

nothing fancy, just new tires for my pajero.

I just got 4 second hand tyers from accros the road from irish times(bandon),they are bridgestone AT and must be only 6 months old(good as new),new they are 4500b each and i got all 4 for 4000b!and they put on for me and i gave them my old ones which had had it.

nice, were they truck tires or car though? the shop in nathon told my thai staff 6500 baht per truck tire.

are you referring to the auto shop all the way at the west end of bang rak, near the infamous Peak project?

I have always found the Bangrak one to be good.

Yep. Forgot that one! Also good and friendly though sometimes a little tricky pulling in to there.

i've been to this one but only for repairs to the tire/wheel and not for a new tire purchase. competitive?

Wife says: son sends second hand tires to all over thailand - he buys them from import.
