Mazda 3 SP. Tyre changed and wheel alignment.

Went to Braddell CDGE (comfort delgro engineering) to change tyre and did wheel alignment. Total mileage done on stock tyre (Bridgestone Turanza ER 30) is 40,xxx km.

Had to change as the right front inner tyre thread wearing is much more than the rest of the 3 tyres. Hope that this wheel alignment solve the problem.

Went with my colleague Stanley, reach there around 0845 hrs. Only collect the car around 1230 hrs. He left earlier as he does not need to do wheel alignment.

Tyre changed to Yokohama DB Decibel (ES501), supposed to be those quieter tyre.
My first choice was the Bridgestone Turanza GR90, but they do not carry it.

Damage for tyre (205/55/16) = $150 x 4 = $600.
Wheel alignment = $60

Total damage = $660 x 1.07 = $706.20.
