As I had bought the Bridgestone RE004 tyres before the Covid-19 pandemic began, it is almost three years old, and during the lockdown period, I hardly used my car as driving around was restricted. Thus, although the tyres does not look worn out, it may be hard or even brittle, and may not be safe to be driven fast and furious...

So, it was time to get a new set of rubbers for my VW Golf GTi, and I decided on the newly announced and highly recommended Michelin Pilot Sport 5. The PS5 is the latest model replacing the famous PS4 and it has been independently tested and reviewed to be much better in almost every performance aspect.

Listed at RM700 per piece for a 225/45/17, I bargained it down to RM588 each, for a total of RM 2,352.

RM 2,352 for tyres.
RM 1,000 for wheel repolish.

I also had my wheels repaired, repolished and resprayed to look brand new. It had suffered all sorts of dents, scratches and bruises due to me accidentally brushing them against the road curbs. That cost me RM 1,000 for the set of four wheels.
