@ Bluish Green,

Many thanks for your comments. It may be that the same Kenda Kwest tyres that I've been using till now are the way to go for a replacement.

Unfortunately there is always some construction or other going on in Singapore. Courtesy of the government's need to continually upgrade infrastructure for the "greater good". Not something I agree that any public moneys should be spent on. But we best not venture into such dicey areas.
