90% of the time ppl. use huge rims just for cosmetic changes.

I kinda agree, WRC cars use those sizes, last month (or was it two months back), Toyota brought in a TRD prepared Vios for the Sepang track using 14inch

can kancil with 13" rims fits 175/70r13? or the tyre sill stuck to the car?haha
any opinion?

and even the rims dented they wont care, at least the size didnt change and still can attract chicks then ok lor

so they use larger rims because of the disc brake?

vios dont have that much horsepower and torque to move larger rims lar

the larger the rims the more power you need to move it, but i heard some said slightly larger rims is good for long journey, like 14" > 15"

well it have more traction when driving at higher speed and comfy kua...
it is better la... heavier also... my SEG from Ori 13" > 15"...

so heavy for what, want stable and traction better increase the downforce

want to ask u silverstone sifu's.. which one should i change to silverstone ftz or M5..?

i think so kua... maybe want to downforce... hehe...
but i change because i change my engine already mah...
not problem after i change to 15" use for 3 years already...

m5 will b good for u as ftz kinda noisy after 20k km~

V12 engine ar?

Kruizer better than M5

i..c.. is it too noisy after 20k km? like i turn on music still can hear the noise? coz i mostly drive with my gf or sometimes alone..n pluz when i drive, always need music on.


kruizer is a bit outta my budget >.<

michelin xm1.... ...local conti made by sime...

Thanks. I am using Michelim XM1 currently. Nice tyres, good in dry and wet conditions.

i will prolly' settle for a pair of Yokohama S drive for the rear to go with my existing C drive.
i checked on the yokohama website and there are no C drive of 195/55/r15 on the list
the owner told me it was from 2008 stock... am i con'ed?
btw, will try my friend's car fitted with V12 this evening and see how it goes.
any feedback on RE001?
thanks

Just changed my tyre to XM1. My dad went earlier and they put Certis. We went back and changed because XM1>Certis

Pros -
Running on 2nd set of RE001 now
- Sikly smooth, Quiet..not bad for performance tyre.
- Tread wear is pretty good, you don't see uneven wear on outer tread block..
- Sidewall is hard, good for cornering..But review said YokoAD07 is even harder..and grip better in corner.
- Tread pattern is attractive, beautiful ..agree?

Cons
- Pricey, compare to its competitor
- On damp surface, performance start to deteriorate..
