cuz persona is campro mah~
d car's setting is diff from each manufacturer~

I was charge RM5 per tyre for nitrogen gas near Sunway

FOC gas or air?

yes,only free refill wen u change nitrogen air wit me~

don't quite understand

you have to go for 1st time nitrogen filling with cheeann where charges apply.
once the pressure drop, cheeann will refill for free. but that will take ages. isn't it?

smart boy~

Sounds cool...

planning to get the dunlop sp sport fm901's for drift.
anyone can recommend a reliable tire shop around kl / cheras area?

Hi Guys, how is Goodyear Duraplus tyres? any feedbacks? good? how is the road noise level? good in wet n dry?? Thanks.

pp2 is an old tire which is being replaced by ps3. you're buying a used set, isn't it?
btw, what is the stock tire size?
changing to bigger / wider / heavier set of wheels may affect the fc, acceleration, braking and speedometer; much depend on the % of upgrade.

goodyear duraplus is a comfort tire with low noise level. okay for a leisure driving style. not recommended for spirited driving style.
tire made to last longer, thus takes longer distance to stop during emergency braking

well, this pp2 was quoted to me as new tires, this year production. So, does it worth the price given, rm420 p/pc?
my stock car is currently running on stock rim/tire size, 205/45/16. so, if i would liked to seek expertise advice of going for 17", is it better or worst in term of perfomance & fc?

about the same price with ps3. pp2 does have a slightly harder sidewall but ps3 offer more fun overall.
if it was a performance car, the differences may negligible but on non-performance car, its quite noticeable.
example; 205 to 225 tire width, 6.5kg of 16" wheels to 8.5kg of 17" wheels weight... engine need to works harder on acceleration.
wider tire contact with road surface affect the braking... you do the math
btw, this wasn't an expert opinion. i was merely been there doing it

woa, thanks for the valuable info by just increasing of 1" rim it makes so much difference.

Last question. How about if i down grade to size 15" rim/tire? will i still enjoy the stability of conering confidently as before or compromising speed watching as i sometime do drive as speedily as 170-180km max (never try up to 200km yet), otherwise i will just stay within legal road speed limit of 110-140km min once i hit the highway.

it's the wider contact with road surface and the increased in weight that matter.
estimate an extra 2kg per 17" wheels over the 16" x 4 = 8kg which is quite a weight. the only advantage of upgrading to 17" will be better handling(coupled with good suspension system and suitable tire pressure) when paired with lower profile tires, and nice looking

15" wheels are usually lighter and tailored for the smaller tire width, offset wheels is an exception. downgrading from 16" may require you to go for 195 / 50 or 55
to compensate the different in diameter and looks(if this matter). there is a sacrifice in handling. esp. on touge and fast corner ride.
btw, lower profile tires tend to give a more direct feedback to steering which in return build our confident when going fast. choose one that suit our driving style and perhaps, our road condition.
drive safely

Thks for sharing the rim sizes tips which i am now much more knowing of which one to choose for when i am changing my tires in the near future. thks again
