^^^Surprisingly hard to find a PCX tyre here. Finally found a "Vee Rubber" tyre (Thai brand, seems well made?) at Sean Ly's place just off the Durian roundabout, 100/90 size (close enough). 110/80 size nowhere to be found.

$24, all is better.

Ooh. Don’t mention Sean Ly (opp ABA?) on the Kampot noticeboard. He’s like Marmite.

Makes people triggered.

^^^What's the story behind that?

I didn't have an issue at all, and he was the only one in 7 shops I visited that even had the 100/90 size tyre (forget the original 110/80 I wanted).

As I mentioned he has either good or bad reviews, and not much in between, and brings out lots of angry people on that group. Pretty funny.

I’m sure he tries it on with clueless westerners but I found him pretty reasonable.

I've found the same as you, I haven't had any issue with him in the few times I've stopped by on vacation down here. I don't use any English however, for what it's worth.
