hie guys, need help badly. after changing my rims 16" with 205/45 tires, my fc have increased dramatically.
previously on stock rims n tires, full tank wud go 380km. now its just a measly 280km for a full tank.
just serviced my car last week (normal service). but the tires im using are 3 diff tires. front tires are same, back tires diff. my fren said dat was the problem causing the FC to rise.
so isit the weight of the rim plus the diff tires thats causing this? or my alignment? cos my alignment is abit off.
many thx ahead

QUOTE(gkl83 @ Jun 30 2009, 08:39 PM) the weight of the rim was the major issues... if used wider tires, means more friction between tires surface and road surface... alignment still lead the high FC as well... but i think different tires wont cause high FC significant, only the car will imbalance when u heavy pickup, over speeding and heavy braking... in sense that will lead the danger to u... hmmm. but wud fc be dat bad? i tried drivin as conservatively as i can. but didnt noe FC would be dat bad. so in dat case, alignment and change of lighter rims? i read dat stock myvi rims n tires weigh 7kg. so lookin forward to weighin the new rims n tires. its jsut a headache watchin ur fuel go down like a heavily souped out turbo car. |
