Good tire shop in HK - any recommendations?

Its probably time to get new tires for my stock 323i rims as its been 2 years and 24,000+ kms.

I'm quite fond of the original stock RFTs and will probably want to get another set of them.

Can any of you recommend a good tire shop (preferably on HK Island) who may carry the bridgestone RFTs? What sorta price range are we talking about?

Btw, is there a need for me to get my wheels re-balanced if I'm getting new tires?

Thanks.

On the Island, you may try the shops in Tin Hau near the temple (opposite CRC club house).

If you are just replacing tyres, no need to do wheel realignment, while the tyre shop will do balancing for each individual wheel for you after putting on the new rubber.

What size RFTs are yours?

I recently got mine replaced (also ~25000km on them), RE050 RFT 225/50 R16 x 4 for $32xx per tyre. Comes to $10xxx for a full set.

Got them replaced at the sole distributor's shop for bridgestone. (Tong Seng).
Had to wait for 2 months to get them back in stock too!!

If not having to take the official inspection, I think my parents would still keep those old harden tyres.
