haha then give it a go... just monitor it's pressure well, if not you will have problem on the size thread wear rate...

150km/h is fast already and with the lighter car of course u felt like floating la...
even u change to 17" also you will feel like that... of course if you lowered ur ride then different a bit la...
but the weight of Vios, around 1 tonne... it is a light car...

wow... can go that fast? what's the RPM like?

if you are always driving on highways, changing to wider tyres might help... with a little sacrifice on city drive because acceleration from standstill will suffer...

ic, but not always will go till 150km/h, is fast for me already, but it still can go more further, i think can go till 180 without open a aircon.

i did 170km/h on my Vios '05 on 195/55 R15... but it drinks fuel

haha..of course will like drink fuel. but a car must try max speed right. haha...

i think 185/60r14 dont have falken 912 right? they only got falken 322...

If not mistaken yes there is... Fallen 912 starts at that size

I think no need off aircond also can reach 180 la... my friend did that with City... not sure about Vios though

new honda city can go up to 195...i tried mine once to 190++ then there is the speed cut. cant go further anymore. with stock tyre and stock rim..

ya.. no need to off air cond. too bad forgot to see what was the RPM coz need to focus on the road.. =.=''

Vios weight is only 1ton++ and its acceleration is much better comparing to new honda city. even though u change to 17" the acceleration is still acceptable.

due to the light weight, i guess vios always the winner in terms of FC.. mind to share a bit u guys FC reading? (km/l)

2005 model, 16.7km/l, 30% town

My fc is around 430-460 per full tank. Why is it so low compare to the others here?

depends a lot of factors... tires, traffic, roads condition and others also...

my 06 vios is about 500km, 12km/l Ron97

Avoid the Falken 912 if possible as it's noisy and grip is not good especially in wet. Pay a bit more, try other such as PS3

well that is after some time of usage... those things will happen on others tire also... after 50% u can see the difference...
if you compare with higher range of course you will feel like that but if you compare to 14" tires that UMW is giving you then it is slightly better...
pls don compare with PS3, V12, RE001, T1R and some others... those are performance range... ignore others like NCT5, D-01, MY-01, Exellence and some others so call performance tires also those are craps...

mic...i heard tat certis side wall is more harder than xm1, so better for cornering ?

Vios owner G spec 03

Yes it can go that fast. when i travel to kl maintain 140 - 160kmh not a problem for my car. but i still didn't feel the speed..huhu..that why always want push more..haha..

My car full tank ron 97 can go until 560km (i try drove until no more petrol inside luckily petrol station was there when my car out of petrol).that why i know my full tank milage. i always set my milage after fill in the petrol.normally around 540-545km i will refill the petrol.

different people have different tolerance to speed... i drive 140kmph with my City VTEC and a relative's Stream (older 2.0 version) i a bit scared cos not stable, though it can go more but i don't dare...

i test driven the Golf GTI and sprinted for a while in Federal highway with 4 other adults... that's what i call stability... i tekan from 60kmph to 120kmph, no wind noise... but the tyres a bit loud... if highway i have no idea how much i will tekan, wahahahha

hard to say... i never used Certis b4... that is depends what pressure is ur tire...

haha... that is different... even my 13 year old toy (hatchback) is better than a lot of car's in stability and built quality
cos it weight 1.3++ tonne, up to 160km/h all the way never felt floating b4...

Does the TRD bodykit really affects performance? Like stability and acceleration. Or is it mainly cosmetic?
