Kindaichi, to be cautious when driving the NHC. I feel that the NHC has some blnd spots where you can't really see from the driver's side. Sometimes, I can't seem to see the kerbs on the left side of the car when making a turn. bro, do join us at HC3 More specific discussion about NHC.

QUOTE(kindaichi @ May 9 2010, 06:43 PM) ok thanks for the advice.... anything can be used to help? like blindspot mirror etc?  Added on May 9, 2010, 6:47 pmbesides, since i am getting the car soon, can i request to respray the rusty part that encountered by existing nhc ppl???  Nop.. All I can say it is all based on judgement. I will usually leave ample space & not force my way through. I don't think you can request as soon as you get your car. Remember, it is not rusty when you get your car. Try filing a complain during the 1000km service & they will respray it for you. This post has been edited by Thrust: May 9 2010, 07:10 PM

Collecting the car? I didn't check much. If there's anything wrong, you can complain during the 1000km service. Anyway, it's good to follow the checklist.

QUOTE(outdoorxplorer @ Jun 5 2010, 08:48 PM) My City is expected to be delivered on or before end of the month. I am planning to change to Continental tyres to Michelin 205/55/16. Wonder it will be the right choice amdwhere to get the best deal?? I would suggest you to go for 195/55/16 instead. 205/55/16 will make your wheel looks bulgy like those American stock car tyres.

QUOTE(outdoorxplorer @ Jun 5 2010, 09:24 PM) 185 and 195 would hardy make any difference in road handling right? There will be difference but certainly for 205/55/16, you will feel more traction. My suggestion also emphasized on cosmetic outlook as well. That is why I recommend you to go for 195/55/16.

QUOTE(outdoorxplorer @ Jun 5 2010, 10:21 PM) No harm... Will take a look at 195 too. By the way, how much is Michelin PS3 195/55/16??? Not very sure bro. My guess it should be in between RM300-RM400.

QUOTE(outdoorxplorer @ Jun 5 2010, 10:25 PM) Just checked from Michelin's site and noticed that there's not 195/55/16.. Only 205/55/16. Not all brands have got 195/55/16. Even if they do, some might not bring it into Malaysia due to low demand for these tyres.

QUOTE(outdoorxplorer @ Jun 6 2010, 09:00 AM) Theoretically with the additional weight ad friction, it should increase a small percentage of FC but it will be compensated with better road handling. Which tyres are you planning to upgrade? Added on June 6, 2010, 11:43 amJust came back from tyre shop and realized that 205/55R16 & 195/55R16 will be overkill. Decent and reasonable fitting will be 195/50R16 on stock 16" wheels. Comment please. Yes bro, I would suggest you to go for 195/50/16 to replace our original 185/55/16. 195mm width will give you better traction/bite on the road. 50 series tyre will give you better cornering feel as compared to 55 series (You will feel less floaty with a 50 series tyre) I tried taking a corner with the original 55 series tyre & it really gives a terrible floaty feeling.  Btw, what brand of tyres do they have for that size (195/50/16)?. This post has been edited by Thrust: Jun 6 2010, 03:39 PM

I would go for Yoko Advan... How much does it cost? As for Continental, i think they are now made in Malaysia by Sime tyres.
