8 Best Tyre Shops in Singapore 2026: What One Michelin Primacy 5 Actually Costs at Each

Three Singapore tyre shops publish a live price for the same tyre, a Michelin Primacy 5 in 205/55R16, the size under a Corolla Altis, a Civic, a Mazda 3 or a Golf. TyresOnline.sg shows the lowest number at $142, Kim Hoe & Co asks $150 and City Tyre Auto $151. Then you read what each price covers. Kim Hoe states in writing that its $150 already includes GST, nitrogen, hi-speed balancing, a new valve and all installation labour. City Tyre's $151 adds free rotation every 10,000km, unlimited puncture repair and a 5-year manufacturer warranty on top of balancing, fitting and GST. TyresOnline's product page and FAQ say nothing at all about what the $142 buys, which means the cheapest sticker here is the only one you cannot add up. The other five shops (AL Tyres, Stamford Tyres, Autobacs, Hock Seng Wah and Tire Pte Ltd) quote by phone or WhatsApp. Every price, outlet and promotion below was read off the company's own site on 20 September 2026.

Three shops publish a live price for the same Michelin Primacy 5. The cheapest sticker is the only one that does not say what it includes.

> Quick view: best all-in is Kim Hoe & Co at $150 a tyre, GST, nitrogen, balancing and labour included in writing; City Tyre Auto's $151 adds a 5-year warranty and free rotation. TyresOnline's $142 is the lowest number but states nothing about fitting.

Kim Hoe & Co: $150 for a Primacy 5, and the clearest all-in statement anyone publishes

Forty years old, one shop at Block 3015 Ubi Road 1 #01-260/262/266, and the only tyre retailer here that prints, on the product page itself, exactly what you are paying for. A Michelin Primacy 5 in 205/55R16 91W, 2026 production, made in China, is $150 against a usual $240, and the page states that the price is inclusive of GST and other taxes, nitrogen insertion, digital tyre hi-speed balancing, air tube valve replacement and all labour cost for installation. That is the single most useful sentence on any Singapore tyre website, because it turns a price into a bill. Two conditions worth knowing before you order: the same page says a single-piece purchase will be rejected, so you are buying at least a pair, and the checkout displays tax as a separate 9% line even though the product page says the price already includes it, which is worth clarifying by WhatsApp before you pay. The rest of the catalogue is deep and similarly discounted at the same size: Continental PremiumContact 7 at $135 from $220, Pirelli Cinturato C3 at $145 from $200, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 at $170 from $200, and Bridgestone Turanza T001 runflat at $160 from $270. Kim Hoe also does rims, rim crack welding and warped-rim repair, batteries with roadside assistance, aircon servicing and Autel TPMS sensors, and it runs a Pirelli TYRElife warranty programme. Hours are unusually generous for a tyre shop: Monday to Saturday 9am to 7pm, and Sundays and public holidays 9.30am to 4.30pm, so it is one of the few places on this list you can actually get to on a Sunday. Best for: anyone who wants a firm number over the phone and no surprises at the counter.

The largest live catalogue in Singapore, and the only one that tells you which country each tyre was made in on the product title itself. A Michelin Primacy 5 RG in 205/55R16 91W, China, is $151 from $182, and the page lists what that covers: wheel balancing and installation, free rotation every 10,000km, unlimited external puncture repair, unlimited tyre pressure checks and top-ups, tyre valve replacement, GST, a 5-year manufacturing warranty and its Tyre Protection Plan. Nobody else here bundles that much into a published number. The same size runs from a Triangle ReliaX TE307 at $74, through a Goodyear Assurance TripleMax from $93, a Hankook Ventus Prime 4 at $118, a Pirelli Cinturato P7C2 at $134, a Michelin Energy XM2+ at $140 and a Bridgestone EP300 at $145. Part of a group that dates back 70 years, it now runs five workshops: City Tyre Auto at 219 Kaki Bukit Ave 1 and 176 Sin Ming Drive, and TYREPLUS at 48 Toh Guan Road East, 71 Woodlands Industrial Park E9 and 1 Corporation Drive. That matters when you are shopping around, because calling TYREPLUS for a second quote is calling the same company, and the group also operates Goodyear Autocare here. Google ratings sit at 4.9 to 5.0 across all five. Hours are weekdays 8.45am to 5.45pm and Saturdays to 2.45pm; only Toh Guan opens on Sunday, 9.30am to 1.30pm, and every branch closes on public holidays. Best for: buyers who want the after-sales bundle written down, and anyone who cares whether their tyre came from Europe, Japan, Thailand or China.

TyresOnline.sg: the lowest published price in Singapore, and the one page that never says what it includes

A proper online tyre store on WooCommerce, with a searchable catalogue by width, profile, rim size, brand, model and year of manufacture, and a workshop of its own at 10 Kaki Bukit Road 1, KB Industrial Building #01-32. Its Michelin Primacy 5 in 205/55R16 91W is $142 from $160, the lowest number we could find in Singapore for that tyre, and the description confirms 2026 production. The gap in the listing is fitting: neither the product page nor the FAQ says whether balancing, a valve or installation is covered, so treat $142 as the price of a tyre rather than the price of a fitted tyre until someone tells you otherwise. Three other things are genuinely useful here. The year of manufacture is printed in the product name, so you can see and choose it: the same Continental PremiumContact 7 EV in this size is $155 in 2026 stock and $110 in 2024 stock, and a Dunlop SP Touring R1L from 2022 is $75 against a usual $130. There is a mobile fitting van that will come to your home or office. And a weekly Top Offers shelf runs discounts up to 50%, with a Bridgestone T005 runflat at $350 from $450 at the time of writing. The floor for a 205/55R16 here is a MasterSteel ProSport2 at $71.50. Read the small print on cancellations: you have 24 hours to cancel and it costs $50 in logistics and admin charges, you have 30 days from the invoice to get the tyres fitted, and uncollected tyres are charged $5 a piece in storage after that. Best for: drivers who know exactly which tyre and which production year they want, and who will phone first to pin down the fitting charge.

The opposite trade-off to the online shops: nothing is priced on the website, but somebody is open whenever you need them. Five branches cover the island, all trading Monday to Sunday: East at 150C Paya Lebar Road, open 9am to 1am; North at 39 Woodlands Close, MEGA@Woodlands #01-01/02/03/04; West at 32 Old Toh Tuck Road, Ibiz Center #01-05 to 08; South at Blk 1009 Bukit Merah Lane 3, Alexandra Industrial Estate #01-88; and North East at 50 Serangoon North Ave 4, First Centre #01-03/04/05, the last four all 9am to 8pm. On top of that sits a 24-hour islandwide on-site service and recovery line on 8418 8000, with a stocked mobile workshop for flat tyres, battery changes and tows, which it also runs under the 24hrtyres.com.sg name. The company claims over 50,000 new and used tyres across the five showrooms, sourced from Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China, plus thousands of rim designs and a trade-in scheme for old tyres and rims. It is also the Singapore distributor of Blackhawk, its own value brand, and the standing offer attached to that brand is free on-site tyre patching when you buy Blackhawk tyres. Each branch has its own WhatsApp number, which is the fastest way to a quote. Best for: a blowout at 11pm, a Sunday job, used tyres and rims, and anyone who would rather look at the actual tyre before paying for it.

Stamford Tyres: a 1930s SGX-listed chain with a store open to 1am and a van service on Sundays

The oldest name here by a wide margin, established in the 1930s, grown from one shop into a distributor across more than 90 countries with its own wheel factory, and listed on the main board of the Singapore Exchange. In Singapore it keeps a genuine retail arm rather than only a wholesale one. The Jurong flagship at 19 Lok Yang Way opens Monday to Saturday 8.30am to 6.30pm; the Changi mega store is at 31 Loyang Way; the East Coast mega store at 355 East Coast Road; Ang Mo Kio at Blk 10 #01-14 Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2A, inside Ang Mo Kio Auto Point; and the MacPherson mega store at 455 MacPherson Road runs Monday to Saturday 9am to 1am, which makes it one of very few places in Singapore you can buy a tyre at midnight. Branch hours are otherwise 9am to 6.30pm Monday to Saturday, and for Sundays and public holidays the company directs customers to STARVANS on 8797 3355, its mobile arm. There are also two truck centres, at 21 Lok Yang Way and 31 Loyang Way, 8.30am to 6pm Monday to Saturday. Stamford distributes Falken, Continental and Dunlop among others and owns the SSW and Sumo Firenza house brands, so it is one of the few retailers here selling tyres it makes itself. Nothing is priced online, so this is a phone call. One caution: the investor page on its own site still displays a share price stamped 7 March 2025, so treat the website as a directory rather than a live feed. Best for: midnight and Sunday emergencies in the east, truck and commercial fitments, and buyers who want a listed company behind the counter.

Autobacs Singapore: a Japanese one-stop chain, and interest-free instalments above $500

Japan's pioneering automotive retail and service brand, 29 years in Singapore, and the closest thing here to a car-care department store: tyres and rims sit alongside brakes, aircon, transmission, radiator, batteries, engine oil, bodywork, towing, motor insurance claims and shelves of accessories. Two branches, 10 Ubi View (S408543) and 30 Bukit Batok East Avenue 6 (S659761), on 6749 5600. Nothing is priced online, but its own tyre-purchase poster sets out a six-part package that reads as generously as anything published by a specialist: free lifetime puncture repairs, unlimited nitrogen gas top-ups, six rotations with balancing, a five-year manufacturer warranty, free consultation and a recommendation on the best deal, and discounted wheel alignment and runflat repairs, with terms and conditions applying. The standing money offer is a payment one: combined purchases of $500 or more across tyres, servicing, accessories and detailing qualify for a 0% interest instalment plan from 6 months, with Autobacs covering the interest, which on a four-tyre premium set is a real saving against putting it on a card. It also runs a Grab driver promotion and a loyalty club. Google reviews sit at 4 stars out of 5 from 1,121 reviews on the Ubi store, a figure the company itself dates to August 2024. Best for: drivers who want tyres, an oil change and a brake job done in one visit, and anyone who would rather spread $800 of tyres over six months without paying for the privilege.

A long-running Ang Mo Kio shop with an unusually deep brand list for a single outlet: Michelin, Continental, Falken, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Dunlop and Goodyear, from the Pilot Sport 5 and SportContact 7 down to workhorse van and commercial sizes, plus rims, batteries, patching, rotation, balancing and wipers. It is at 4034 Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 1 #01-34, opposite 409 Market off Ang Mo Kio Ave 10, open Monday to Saturday 9am to 7pm and closed Sundays and public holidays, on 6456 5858 or WhatsApp 8022 6046. The reason it is on this list is a partnership: Singtel Car Protect and Singtel Drive and Save Plus policyholders get up to $80 off new tyres, plus free tyre rotation every 10,000km, free tyre patching for the lifespan of the tyres, and premium doorstep installation at home or the office at no extra cost, subject to slot availability. The shop's own page also confirms that the quoted prices are inclusive of installation and balancing charges. Read it with one eye open, though. That offer page carries the line information correct as at 29 September 2021, and it still restricts the discount to an outlet at 46 Yio Chu Kang Road, which the company's own homepage says it has since moved to Ang Mo Kio. So the deal may well be live and the address on it is certainly not: WhatsApp 8022 6046 and confirm both before you drive over. Best for: Singtel motor policyholders, and anyone in the north who wants doorstep fitting thrown in.

Tire Pte Ltd: the Lassa specialist for EVs and hybrids, with prices that already include GST

The exclusive Singapore distributor of Lassa, a Turkish brand most drivers here have never been quoted, and the shop makes its case on weight and torque: electric and hybrid cars are heavier and deliver instant torque, and it builds its recommendations around that. Over 15 years in the trade, Monday to Friday 9am to 5.45pm and Saturday mornings, on 6925 5296. Prices are published for the Lassa range and marked inc. Vat, which is a small but real courtesy in a category where GST usually appears at the counter: a Lassa Revola in 205/55R16 is $156, the same tyre in R17 is $193, a Competus HP3 in 235/55R17 is $229, and a Competus HP2 in 255/55R20 is $308. There is a size-picker on the homepage that filters the Lassa catalogue by diameter, width and height. Beyond Lassa and its stablemate Beture it says it works with more than ten other brands including Michelin, Bridgestone, Continental, Nexen, Hankook, Pirelli, Dunlop and Goodyear, though none of those are priced online. It also does rims, wheel balancing and battery replacement, and has a VIP lounge at the showroom. The honest note: at $156, its own house-distributed Lassa in 205/55R16 costs more than a Michelin Primacy 5 does at Kim Hoe ($150) or at TyresOnline ($142), so the value here is the EV advice and the same-day fitting rather than the price. Best for: EV and hybrid drivers who want a considered recommendation, and anyone who wants the GST already in the number.

No discount campaign running; every published Lassa price is marked inclusive of GST, with the Revola in 205/55R16 at $156 and same-day installation offered

The same tyre at every shop that publishes a number: Michelin Primacy 5, 205/55R16 91W, read off each company's own online store on 20 September 2026. The last column is where the ranking changes, because a price and a bill are not the same thing.

What a set of four actually costs

Every shop on this list quotes a price per tyre, and almost nobody drives away having bought one. On the benchmark size, a Michelin Primacy 5 in 205/55R16, a full set of four comes to $568 at TyresOnline before whatever fitting costs, $600 at Kim Hoe with fitting, balancing, nitrogen, valves and GST already in it, and $604 at City Tyre with all of that plus free rotation for the life of the tyres and a five-year warranty.

So the $8 gap between the cheapest sticker and the dearest one is smaller than a single corner's fitting charge at most workshops. That is the whole argument of this guide: in Singapore the tyre is rarely where the money moves. Balancing, a new valve, nitrogen, old-tyre disposal and 9% GST can add $15 to $25 a corner, or $60 to $100 on a set, which is more than the entire spread between the three published Primacy 5 prices.

Two of the three shops solve this by writing it down. Kim Hoe's product page says the price is inclusive of GST and other taxes, nitrogen insertion, digital tyre hi-speed balancing, air tube valve replacement and all labour cost for installation. City Tyre's says the price covers wheel balancing and installation, free rotation every 10,000km, unlimited external puncture repair, unlimited pressure checks and top-ups, valve replacement, GST, a five-year manufacturing warranty and its Tyre Protection Plan. TyresOnline says nothing, which is not the same as saying no, but it does mean the lowest number here is the only one you cannot add up before you arrive.

Buy the date, not just the model

The most underused number in Singapore tyre shopping is the year of manufacture, and TyresOnline is the only retailer here that puts it in the product title so you can price it yourself. In the benchmark size, its Continental PremiumContact 7 EV is $155 in 2026 stock and $110 in 2024 stock. Its Dunlop SP Touring R1L from 2022 is $75 against a usual price of $130.

That is a genuine choice rather than a trick. Rubber ages whether or not the tyre is driven, so a tyre made in 2022 has already spent years of its useful life sitting in a warehouse, and most manufacturers count the warranty from the date of manufacture rather than the date you bought it. For a car that does 8,000km a year, older stock at 40% off can be perfectly sensible. For a car that does 25,000km, it usually is not. Either way, you should be told, and the DOT code stamped on the sidewall (four digits: week, then year) lets you check the answer yourself before the wheel goes back on.

Who is actually a different company

Shopping around only works if the second quote comes from a second business, and in this trade that is not always the case.

  • City Tyre Auto and TYREPLUS are the same company. Three of its five workshops trade as TYREPLUS (Toh Guan, Woodlands, Jurong) and two as City Tyre Auto (Kaki Bukit, Sin Ming). The group also runs Goodyear Autocare here. Calling all three names gets you one price list.
  • AL Tyres, Blackhawk Tyre and 24hrtyres.com.sg are the same company. Blackhawk is AL Tyres' own house brand, and the 24-hour recovery site is its mobile arm.
  • tyresonline.sg and tyres-online.sg are not related. The first is the Singapore shop with the Kaki Bukit workshop. The second, one hyphen away, is a foreign price-comparison portal that offers winter tyres, snow tyres and motorcycle tyres and lists agricultural and golf-cart sizes. If you are looking for the Singapore store, check the hyphen.
  • TyreQueen was not reachable. Its site returned a server error on 20 September 2026, so we could not verify anything about it and have left it out.

How to choose

  • Ask one question on the phone: is that price fitted? Then ask whether balancing, the valve, nitrogen, disposal and GST are inside it. Two shops on this list answer it in writing; the rest will answer it if you ask.
  • Price the set, not the tyre. An $8-a-corner difference is $32 on a set, which is usually less than one shop's fitting charge.
  • Check what happens after. Free rotation every 10,000km and unlimited puncture repair (City Tyre), free patching for the tyre's life (Hock Seng Wah on the Singtel deal, AL Tyres on Blackhawk) and six rotations with balancing (Autobacs) are worth real money over three to four years.
  • Match the shop to the hour. AL Tyres opens every day of the week and its Paya Lebar branch runs to 1am; Stamford's MacPherson store runs to 1am Monday to Saturday; Kim Hoe opens Sundays and public holidays 9.30am to 4.30pm. Most of the rest are shut on Sunday, and City Tyre's five branches all close on public holidays.
  • If nobody is open, pay for the van. AL Tyres runs 24-hour islandwide on-site service on 8418 8000, Stamford routes Sundays and public holidays to STARVANS on 8797 3355, and TyresOnline has a mobile fitting van.

How we checked

Every price, address, opening hour and promotion above was read from each company's own website, online store or product page on 20 September 2026, not from an aggregator. The three published Primacy 5 prices came from each shop's own product page for the 205/55R16 91W fitment. Outlet lists and hours came from each company's own locations page. Where a company's own page contradicts itself or is visibly stale, we have said so rather than quoting the better number: Hock Seng Wah's Singtel offer is dated 29 September 2021 and names an address the shop has left; Stamford's investor page still shows a share price from 7 March 2025; Kim Hoe's product page says GST is included while its cart displays a separate 9% tax line; and T.S Tyre's promotions page, which we checked and excluded, still leads with campaigns dated April 2025. Promotions without a published end date can close at any time. Cover photo: City Tyre Auto official, Kaki Bukit outlet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do car tyres cost in Singapore in 2026?

For the most common passenger size, 205/55R16, the published range on 20 September 2026 runs from about $71.50 to around $200 a tyre before any fitting charge. The budget end is a MasterSteel ProSport2 at $71.50 at TyresOnline or a Triangle ReliaX TE307 at $74 at City Tyre. Mid-market sits around $93 to $145: Goodyear Assurance TripleMax from $93, Nexen NPRIZ AH5 at $95, Kumho Ecsta PS31 at $98, Hankook Ventus Prime 4 at $118, Pirelli Cinturato P7C2 at $134 and Bridgestone EP300 at $145. Premium touring tyres cluster at $135 to $160: Continental PremiumContact 7 at $135 at Kim Hoe, Michelin Energy XM2+ at $138 to $142, and the Michelin Primacy 5 at $142 at TyresOnline, $150 at Kim Hoe and $151 at City Tyre. Runflats and 17 to 20-inch fitments run higher, from about $160 to $460. Add roughly $15 to $25 a corner for balancing, a valve, nitrogen, disposal and GST unless the shop states that the price already includes them, which Kim Hoe and City Tyre both do.

Does the tyre price in Singapore include installation and balancing?

Sometimes, and the only reliable way to know is to read the shop's own wording or ask. Kim Hoe & Co prints on each product page that the price is inclusive of GST and other taxes, nitrogen insertion, digital tyre hi-speed balancing, air tube valve replacement and all labour cost for installation, and it also notes that a single-piece purchase will be rejected. City Tyre Auto prints that its prices include wheel balancing and installation, free rotation every 10,000km, unlimited external puncture repair, unlimited tyre pressure checks and top-ups, tyre valve replacement, GST, a five-year manufacturing warranty and its Tyre Protection Plan. Hock Seng Wah's Singtel page states that its quoted prices are inclusive of installation and balancing service charges. Tire Pte Ltd marks its published Lassa prices inc. Vat. TyresOnline.sg, which has the lowest published price of the three online shops, says nothing about fitting on its product pages or in its FAQ, so ask before you pay. AL Tyres, Stamford Tyres and Autobacs do not publish prices at all, so the question has to be put on the phone.

Is it cheaper to buy tyres online in Singapore?

On the sticker, yes, but the margin is thinner than it looks. On our benchmark, a Michelin Primacy 5 in 205/55R16 91W, the online-only shop TyresOnline.sg is $142 against $150 at Kim Hoe & Co and $151 at City Tyre Auto. That is $8 and $9 a tyre, or $32 to $36 on a set of four, which at most workshops is less than the fitting charge for a single corner. Because the two physical shops both state in writing that their prices already include installation, balancing, a valve, GST and (at Kim Hoe) nitrogen, while TyresOnline states nothing, the online saving can disappear entirely once fitting is added. Where buying online genuinely wins is choice and information: TyresOnline lets you filter by width, profile, rim size, brand, model and year of manufacture, and prints the production year in each product name so you can deliberately buy older stock at a discount. City Tyre's store is bigger still and prints the country of manufacture. The practical answer: use the online catalogues to find the exact tyre and a fair price, then ask every shop the same question, is that fitted.

How do I check how old a tyre is, and does it matter?

Look for the DOT code moulded into the sidewall. It ends in four digits: the first two are the week of manufacture and the last two are the year, so 2624 means the 26th week of 2024. It matters because rubber ages in storage whether or not the tyre is driven, and most manufacturer warranties count from the date of manufacture rather than the date of sale, so a tyre that has sat in a warehouse for three years has already used part of its warranty and part of its useful life. Singapore has no law requiring a retailer to sell you fresh stock, and prices reflect the difference where shops are honest about it. TyresOnline.sg is the clearest on this: it prints the year in the product name, and in 205/55R16 the same Continental PremiumContact 7 EV is $155 in 2026 stock and $110 in 2024 stock, while a 2022-dated Dunlop SP Touring R1L is $75 against a usual $130. That is a legitimate saving on a low-mileage car and a poor trade on a high-mileage one. Check the sidewall before the wheel goes back on, and if the shop will not tell you the date before you pay, ask a different shop.

Which tyre shops in Singapore are open on Sunday or late at night?

Fewer than you would hope, and the useful ones are worth saving to your phone now rather than at 11pm with a flat. Open every day of the week: AL Tyres, all five branches, with East at 150C Paya Lebar Road running 9am to 1am and the other four 9am to 8pm.
