SE Tyre @ Kaki Bukit is the Kaki Bukit branch of South East Tyre Co., a Singapore specialist in high-performance wheels and tyres. The shop's tagline — 'the ultimate design, for performance, driving or racing' — reflects a product range built around serious brands: BBS and BBS Japan rims alongside ATS, Alutec and Rial, plus tyres from Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli, Goodyear and Dunlop, including the Bridgestone Potenza S007A performance tyre.
Located at #01-20 KB Industrial Building on Kaki Bukit Road 1, the workshop also stocks car accessories and a pre-owned selection, and fits what it sells — customers have had new tyres changed and SteelMate tyre pressure monitoring systems installed on site. The company's website even offers a wheel size calculator to help drivers work out suggested tyre specs for a new wheel size before they visit.
What regulars praise most, though, is the care: taped-up wrenches to protect freshly fitted rims, old wheels cleaned before handover, spare tyres topped up with air unprompted, and a final walk-around inspection before the car leaves. Hours are 8.30am to 5.30pm, Monday to Saturday, closed on Sundays and public holidays.
Tucked into #01-20 of KB Industrial Building on Kaki Bukit Road 1, SE Tyre @ Kaki Bukit is the kind of workshop car owners recommend to each other: a place where the staff tape up their wrenches so they won't scratch your new rims, where old wheels get cleaned before they're handed back, and where nobody pushes you into a sale you don't need. It's the Kaki Bukit outlet of South East Tyre Co., a Singapore wheel and tyre specialist whose motto — high performance wheels, 'the ultimate design, for performance, driving or racing' — sets the tone for everything on its shelves.
The rim wall is the headline act. South East Tyre Co. carries BBS and BBS Japan alongside ATS, Alutec and Rial, giving drivers a spread of designs and finishes that few local shops can match. Featured models on the site include the BBS CI-R and FI-R in Platinum Silver, the CH-R and CH-R II in Satin Black, the BBS SV in Satin Titanium, the ATS CrossLight Racing in black with a polished lip, and the Alutec Monstr in Racing-Black.
Tyres get equal billing. Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli, Goodyear and Dunlop all feature in the range, from the Bridgestone Potenza S007A performance tyre suited to enthusiastic driving through to options for everyday commuting. And if a brand-new set isn't what you're after, the shop also maintains an accessories section and a pre-owned selection, so upgrading your wheels doesn't have to mean buying everything brand new.
Beyond selling, the team fits what it sells. Customers describe having new sets of Bridgestone tyres changed and SteelMate tyre pressure monitoring systems installed, with the work done carefully and checked over before the car goes back on the road.
Scroll through the reviews on the company's site and a pattern emerges. One customer praises the crew for treating his car as if it were their own — noting the taped wrench detail. Another, a long-time regular, calls it his favourite tyre shop 'after so many years'. Several mention team members like William and Zack by name: patient, responsive to questions before you even visit, and happy to recommend what's best for your car rather than what closes the deal. One reviewer describes the full ritual — new tyres fitted, old rims cleaned for the drive home, the spare tyre topped up with air without being asked, and a senior staff member walking around the car for a final inspection.
That attention translates into benefits drivers notice immediately. One customer reports his ride became 'much smoother and significantly quieter' after his visit. Others highlight transparent, reasonable pricing and genuine after-sales follow-up — the sort of thing that turns a one-time tyre change into a years-long relationship.
The company supports the decision-making process too. Its website includes a wheel size calculator: enter your original wheel size and the diameter you're considering, and it suggests the tyre size specs to match. It's a handy way to walk in already knowing what you want — or to have an informed conversation with the team if you don't.
SE Tyre @ Kaki Bukit keeps shop hours of 8.30am to 5.30pm, Monday through Saturday, and closes on Sundays and public holidays — a schedule worth remembering if you're carving out time for a tyre change. The workshop can be reached at +65 6844 2288 or [email protected], and South East Tyre Co. stays active on Facebook, Instagram and Carousell.
Drivers closer to the coast can also use the company's Marine Terrace outlet, but for enthusiasts hunting a specific BBS fitment or a set of performance rubber in Singapore's east, the Kaki Bukit workshop is a destination in its own right. Whether you arrive with a precise build in mind or just a vague feeling that your current tyres have seen better days, you'll leave — if the regulars are anything to go by — with the right set, fitted carefully, and a shop worth returning to.
