Tyre shops in Phuket

[flip]

Any recommendations/experience with tyre shops?

Which one offering the best deals on tyres here in Phuket?(need 4 new tyres for my car)

Thnx a lot

BQuik in Patong (behind Jungceylon) offers some good deals, but depends if you want tyres Thai manufacture, or Malaysian manufacture, Japanese manufacture, and other areas.

Another place I have often used is in Phuket Town - Mae Luan Road

It is a Cockpit franchise, big yellow building across from the 7/11. Ask for POM, Thai lad with decent english. You might also like ask the owner if you can have a look at his two harleys. He paid just over 3 million baht for each one.

If you have a little bit extra time to spare, there is a very good tyre shop in Khokkloy, a few km past the bridge in Phangnga province. They are very clearly visible on the left hand side just before the crossing with traffic light where you go straight on towards Khao Lak/Takua Pa or turn right towards Phangnga Town/Krabi.

I was pleasantly surprised when though I didn't inquire about special deals, they right away offered me second hand tyres that looked brand new, possibly taken off a car that was wrecked in an accident which didn't affect the tyres. Ended up spending less than half of what I had reckoned I would spend.

Went to the new tyre shop next to Chai Auto sounds on the by-pass a couple of months back, was very happy with the service and price, also the after service(had the tires rotated before a going up to Udon for Songkran), they use nitrogen, first I'd heard of this, they recon it makes a diff and maybe it does, who knows!!

Don't know what it's called but I always use the tyre shop opposite "Top Beef" on Patong Hill, Kathu side.

4 tyres for a MU-7 20,000,

What about motorcycle tyres - are there any decent shops in Phuket to buy a set of Pirelli?

I've looked thru the forum and found some reference to a Bike Saloon, but failed to find it ((

On Bypass Rd. I forget the name sorry but it's next door to RMT (Rich Man's Toy) formerly Autoexpress.

Another place is in Kathu on the road going toward tesco bypass. Before the Kajonkiet school.

Has a load of superbikes out front so it's very hard to miss. Again the name escapes me.

Many thanks. Will try to find them
