its ok to be water fish... every 1 sure got 1 or 2 time kena...

as long as dont rush in to buying something....

If you looking for performance & comfort go for 15" u will be surprise with the performance.

price for ps3 15" is between 230~250 but for 16" saw some member post price at 400...

some time getting rims and tire in the same shop the deal maybe mix cheap rim expensive tire or expensive rim with cheap tire...

for the rim the best deal i know for 15" is less then 1k per set ....and 17" per set will be less then 2K...go window shopping tire shop... get some idea 1st...

Hey,
G spec is using 185/60R15, and E spec is using 175/65R14.

Does it mean that E spec will have better fuel efficiency than G spec? Since G spec has bigger wheel and all.

*P/S: considering I'm using the original wheel and rim.

Thanks.

My friend Vios S also leaking. He told me quite usual and replaced twice (I can't recall front or rear) and also he drove rough.

Meanwhile, mine Vios G dugong no leak at the moment (hope not in the future as well). I also drove roughly.

Both car are 1st batch of Vios dugong @ 2007.

I'm not sure about the 'DUB' sound of his car but, mine (Vios & MyVi) definitely have the 'DUB' sound when going over sharp/pointed hums or going over them fast. I wonder whether this 'DUB' affects locally assembled 'Toyotas'.

+1... 16" tire is at least RM50~100 more expensive than 15" tire (compare Hankook V12 Evo at 16" and 15".... for other tires like Michelin PS3, Bridgestone RE001 or others higher end tires u can see more significant price difference (more than RM100 sometime)

Titan for our vios07 is 2.6K .
if u ask me Recommended? best deal for Invert monotube suspension local can offer.
Other brand that depend ... if budget issue ... then skip just drive standard suspension ... save the money 1st.

upgrade sport spring is just waste of money and it also kill your shock.

when you start to use suspension that offer Invert monotube technology you will not twin tube or other shock ...

You wont regret changing to ps3 195/55/15 becos a lot quieter than the oem until u can hear the engine sound only n less on tire sound , secondly more grip but for fc still dont know yet becos i have just change it for only 2 days.
