Already clocked 100km liao..

It is NoT a quiet tyre..noise is almost same as RE001, i would expect new tyre quieter ma..but not really. wink.gif Then, here comes the truth of Pilot Sports 3..

Pros -
Steering response is precise, sharp. Road direction when turn in is clear..nice ! So good, i use to zig zag on the road..sorry if i offended any other road user..

Cons -
Retro 90's old fashion tread pattern, the design may not suit everyone taste.. laugh.gif

I see. thought you switch to French made.. smile.gif

Pilot Sports 3, my humble opinion as below..
Pros:
Good in Wet! Keng~~ notworthy.gif
Steering is light, turn in is precise and accurate..nice!  notworthy.gif
Affordable pricing, for RM250 per piece(195/55/15).
Treadwear 320! Waalao, that means 30-40km should be no problem..

Cons:
Noisy
Outer look damn boring. Sidewall, tread pattern yucks..

Overall:
Highly recommended.

thanks for your feedback,
what about dry performance?

my RE001 after installed 2point front strut bar keep on screaming if too hard cornering recently, weird... sweat.gif
clocked 21xxxkm already...

Just done my 10k service as well, gosh, wasted my 5 hours waiting time in the centre, lucky at least there's a jaya-one there to walk around to kill some time.

mine just RM146 included alignment and balancing(RM56). Well i'm using their mach5 mineral though, will replace redline oil this weekend (outside) and replace my mach 5 for others machinery lubricant, wakekeke....

Anyway, just got some clarification, in theoritically, old persona cannot use the elegance side mirror and LED rear lamp like what darkangel mentioned, the wire connector is different, jsut double confirmed with the manager, and for the accessories parts for elegance like boot tray, will not be in stock that soon as the factory just produce the right among parts for the elegance stock, if you want, they will help you to place the order straight from the factory, so need to wait.

So i guess the LED Side Mirror also cannot use on Gen2 CPS lor? sad.gif

PS3 dry performance is about the same despite PS3 turn in is more accurate, precise and sharp. Cool  cool2.gif

Remove the strutbar and see, 21k + already..another 9k km, then it is the limit liao..

RE001 rubber compound is getting harder when reaching its end of lifespan, i had to lower air pressure by 1psi or else ride comfort suffer..Nevertheless, no problem for cornering..it still grip very well in Dry due to hard sidewall, coll  cool2.gif

oh,
mean another 3-4months i need to tires change liao ..

That service guy didn't say anything la, just straight say rm234. Hmm.

The semi-syn synthium they charge me rm98, the additive dunno what X1-R Rm48, then oil filter rm12, the mag-filter + flush + other misc things add up to rm234. -.-

Woot,

Next time please ask how much total and what parts involve first,
you can reject those unnecessary things ...

for persona elegance, do u guys observe that, when u close all the door and take out the key without lock the alarm. in abt 30-40 seconds, the alarm will activate and lock the car itself. this is for security purpose.
