Tire Change

I noticed yesterday that the rear tires are wearing off pretty badly. The outer treads are totally worn and I could spot a few cracking little holes. This worries me because the worst thing that could happen is to have the car tire punctured in the middle of a journey.

So, I rang up Vision Auto yesterday to ask for the pricing to change the tire. They quoted me with 1 pair of Michelin tires with each costs RM260, which is within my expectation (I was expecting something like RM 350 for each one). Then I drove it to change the tires this morning. The total costs is RM 556.75, inclusive of wheel balancing (FOC) and wheel alignment.

Couple of facts about Isis here that I found out from the user manual after I was advice by my sister to check and do some finding about the tires rotation for this car. It might sounds silly, but I never did any tire rotation at all, not even once, thus my tires are wasted in a sense that they don't wear off equally. Now, from the user manual, it is stated that the tire rotation has to be done in every 5,000KM, and the rotation has to be done in the format of front right -> back right, front left -> back left, back left -> front right, back right -> front left. So, knowing this, I'll have to visit either Vision or any other car workshop that could help me to do the rotation.
