were ur old tyres goodyear gt3? the RM7x is the cost of tyre or cost of balancing?
there's a silent replacement program for owners with an affected batch of GT3 tyres.

wat??? RM70 only... aiya... ori tire is not good at all... tire does not affect ur warranty smile.gif
they sell it to you cheap coz some body come and change after using for a while... the main point is no body wants it as iti s 185/60 R15 special size also... haha...
what u wanna change to??? back to Original, frankly speaking those OE tires sucks...
what is ur requirement on the ride... Comfort or Handling? the tire noise? ur driving style?
by giving us those answer we can recommend better tire for you...
I'm ok... 10pm at mamak stall opposite Esso???

i never thought of changing my tyres
coz currently i personally feel my tyres still serve me well
still can take the turning at the jln duta 'roundabout' at 90km/h

well it will serve you rite in dry... but wet i'm doubt u can do it... but i can tongue.gif
GT3 tires is fail my test, i only need to see but to drive... can't compare with better UHP tires at all la...
GT3 is comfort performance only but Ultra High Performance or Extreme tires like Yokohama S Ddrive, Bridgestone RE-001, Toyo T1R, Hankook V12, Michelin PP2 or new replacement model PS3... i think even Falken 912 performance beat GT3...
common tires like Dunlop D01, Bridgestone Potenza RE030, Bridgestone MY-01, Continental CSC1, Silverstone Kruzier and some others is not in my mind at all when i wanna but tires... once u try those UHP or Extreme tires u will never look back... the main reason ppl buy those so call common tire is only 1 reason CHEAP and LASTING... but that is wrong Hankook V12 and Falken 912 also cheap but they give you the bang of buck...

if have TT come, we can talk more about this... hard to tell u in writing, if you can feel much better smile.gif

aiya should tell me earlier then i pick up my fren at Sunway and go there... hehe more ppl eat cheaper mah...
Friday nite there less traffic meh??? haha... can also la... Friday should be mo problem at nite... maybe make it around 10pm then... easier for all ppl...
BTW test drive in my car no use as my old gen Vios's suspension is a lil stiffer than ur new car... but at least u can have general feelings...

*this morning took it for a round with my puppy with me... from Shah Alam Hicom to Desa Park City in Kepong via NKVE try some corners (especially those butterfly design from Subang tol to NKVE) it is capable to do better corners with 10~20km/h faster than my previous Hankook V12... noise from the Tires is clearly heard from 70km/h~120km/h after that it will humms much lesser...
its handling is sweet at least better than V12 coz switch lane at 120km/h with sharp response... yummy... drool.gif
wanna know more then u need to try to install it on ur ride to feel the superb difference, especially the amount of grips it offer and the sharp precision handling....

Thanks bro Vios for info sharing and also let me know the potential of our Vios after mod the suspension system...
with proper tires it can handles corner with high speed and control slide in corner...

bro Vios2002, next time we go better place for testing so can do racing line style of corner properly... cheers...

travis,
This time you FFK....u really miss out alot ohhh... tire & suspension test...

michael,
If you looking for upgrade suspension, mine im use a invert monotube design/ technology (you can google more info in this design) can say best current tech can offer.

im fact i was aspect the road the to be wet and was looking forward to see PS3 slide in corner in what level control.
