A Journey into Tyres
Having freshly graduated from university with a degree in sociology, I had no clue as to what my future held. Like many of my other peers, I felt lost in what type of career I wanted to venture into. Finally, an opportunity came along and I grabbed it. In a blink of an eye, I’m in an industry that I never imagined myself to be in - the industry that friends looked at me in doubt when I told them about it.
They never imagined someone studying sociology to be doing something so differentBefore stepping into the tyre industry, what tyres meant to me were something black, rubbery and part of the car. Just like many people, I often just notice the car, but not its tyres. People often take for granted the tedious processes by which the tyre was designed and created. I must admit that I am one of them as well.
As I embarked on a journey to understand tyres, the technical details about tyres did leave me slightly overwhelmed. But quoting from my boss, Ler, “see tyres as just another product”, I began to understand that though tyres may involve many complex processes in its construction, they are actually just another product. Be it selling shoes or tyres, they are actually similar in many ways.
With an ever-increasing internet population, consumers are now data-savvy and often do research on products prior to their purchases. Tyrepac would be able to serve as a platform to educate the consumers on tyres which many of the traditional tyre shops would not be able to do. Being a website that is comprehensive, convenient, price transparent and educational, I do believe that this online tyre business has the potential to grow. As for me, I am glad that I am part of this family to witness its growth and as well as to grow with it.
This is an introduction by Seow Sian as she makes her way into an industry not many dare to tread on.

Feature Story: ESPN Formula Drift Pro-Am, Singapore 2009
Words: Ler Hwee Tiong
Tyrepac was one of the proud sponsors of the ESPN Formula Drift Pro-Am Series held in Singapore from 4th to 5th of July at the Changi Exhibition Centre.
This year’s event saw a gathering of 37 amateur and professional drifters from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Thailand compete in front of a sold out crowd of more than 4000.
Singapore was represented by the likes of Ivan Lim, and Jansen Tan, who claimed a top 8 spot. Eventually, the large contingent from our friendly neighbours, Malaysia took the top 3 spots. Tengku Djan, last year’s runner-up and a strong contender right from the start, won the championship with a string of consistent runs.
Johan Norman Azam and Ariff Johanis, both Team Goodyear drivers, took second and third spot respectively. Amidst the field of drifters was also notably Jane Cheah, the only female drifter. Jane is also from Team Goodyear.
Goodyear’s support for drifting events in Asia is evident, from the inaugural Formula Drift in 2008, to this year’s event. Formula Drift Thailand in November 2009, and Formula Drift Malaysia in December 2009 have also been announced. We may just be seeing the beginning of Formula Drift Asia.
Special guest judges were invited from Formula Drift USA, comprising of Andy Yen and Tony Angelo. The field of 37 drifters was scaled down to 16, and 8 before the final 4competed for the top 3 spots.
Mattie Griffin entertained the crowd with his excellent bike control on both days. There were plenty of crowd pullers around, with drummers, game booths, merchandising, and of course not forgetting some eye candy.
Throughout all the whirlwind entertainment, Tyrepac was trusted to diligently ensure that the drivers never had to worry about their tyre changing.
The ESPN Formula Drift Pro Am was a great success and I am sure when it comes around next year, it will be a bigger and better event. And Tyrepac too, will be there again to ensure that no tyre is left unchanged.

Tyrepac 1st Carpark Tyre Sales @ Turf City
Tyrepac’s inaugural 1st Carpark Tyre Sale event was held at Turf City over past weekend (22nd-24th May 09) and proved to be a roaring success. It was the first-ever tyre sale event held at an open-air carpark with over 15 brand of tyres for consumers to choose from. The event attracted over a thousand car owners, with over 700 tyres and rims sold. Car accessories, wipers, car care products were also sold at the event.
This was the first time car owners had the option of choosing their tyres from such a wide spread of brands, and getting them changed right on the spot. The event was organized with Tyrepac’s key objectives in mind, of providing our customers with transparent pricing, comprehensive range of tyres to choose from, convenience, and most importantly, making the right and informed choice with our advice and tyre education.
We are confident that all our customers who bought from us will be satisfied with the tyres they have chosen.
MyCarForum
The event also saw over 70 car owners from Singapore’s number one automotive community forum, Mycarforum.com attending. Twenty lucky members from MFC had the opportunity to attend a private ‘Tyres 101’ lesson from Mr Adrian Thio, General Manager of Tyrepac, who covered topics from the different types of tyres to the importance of tyre rotation. Five lucky participants also walked away with various gifts sponsored by Tyrepac.
We will like to thank everyone who attended and helped to make this event a success. We hope to see everyone back for the next “Carpark Tyre Sale”. More details will be provided in due time. Looking forward to seeing you at the next tyre sale!
