You own a car? Or a motor bike? or a bicycle?
How many tyres do your vehicle has? 2? 4? 6? 8 (if you drive trailer)
How many times do you change your tyre in a year? 1x4 tyres, 2x4 tyres?
Last night, Lab papa send me a msg in my chatbox informing the price of tyre will be increased soon. Huh!! Again??? I thought the price was just increased last year? Not that I'm complaining like crazy here. I have this thinking, since the fuel price was increased early this month, everything..yeah..the price of EVERYTHING except my salary was increased too. Benci kan..?
The thing is...I'm thinking, if my tyre suddenly decided to die on me, what am I going to do? Eversince I bought my car 2 years ago, I still haven't change any single tyre yet..(TOUCHWOOD!! Hope nothing will happend to it)..Yet..means I still have to change it one day right??? Scarednya...
Why I'm scared?? Its is because my tyre is quite expensive (for a poor people like me). I'm using Bridgestone Turanza 215/65R15 96H and I tell you, I never intend to use that expensive tyre in the first place. I inherit it from the previous owner of my car lah. Anyway, let me do some calculation here.
Last 2 years, 1 tyre cost about RM280
Last year, price increased..don't know how much..
This year..Lab papa say maybe increase to 20% *gulp*
So roughly, 1 tyre will cost about RM350???
1 tyre RM350...4 tyres will be RM1400???? Wah!!!! I will need too sell my hand lah like this..Do you think its easy to fork out RM1400 just like that..sob! sob! What?? When I bought my car in 2006, it comes with the tyre lah..not I pandai-pandai want to use it...
Not only tyres, My car also need petrol to drink, need a maintanance, and when it become sick, It always cost me a bomb! Tsk! Tsk! I hope I will earn more money from my blog to cover the 'coming' expenses of my car. Any anak tokeh tayar wanted to sponsor me new tyres? I can be a model for you shop for one day...
