Eh size 16" tyre profile 55? Ours is 215/45/17. So expect it to be more expensive! Probably by RM50-80.

24" + 19" -  choose those with strong firm frames cause 24" very long can judder if u have a weak frame. OEM or Bosch are good. others pls QC before buying. I tested a frameless type gave back cause hinge part was weak & bad gap tolerance.

Actually if I'm not mistaken, it's 24" and 20"... at least that's the measurement I got on the stock NWBs on my ride...

Everybody cool down. There is no point arguing. It will just: -

1. Ruined this nice Forte thread.
2. Upset everyone.
3. Confused potential buyer looking for good information
4. Mod coming in & stamped a “locked” thread

Facts are facts. This I agree. However, the interpretation and degree of understanding…perhaps is different with each person(s). But bear in mind all of you: -

1. What is an important consideration for one person is different from another. Some people look for practicality in cars while other opts for driving experience & more. So buy a car, which suit your need & budget.

2 It really doesn’t matter if a Vios is better than the Forte or other wise. It just depends on what you are looking for.

For my reading of the various post, facts mentioned are really just a bunch of future extrapolation, personal experience, markets demand & supply issue. None are really factual, as it may seem. Just a recap: -

1. Fuel consumption – traffic conditions, road gradients & your foot
2. Car reliability – Forte is a new car, reliability cannot be accounted for. Comparing it with the older Korean model is just assumption.
3. Spare parts – On official pricing from SC…about the same. Probably Vios or other more established brand is cheaper & faster to get) Common sense right?
4. Distribution channel – Personal experience. To me NAZA or KIA is doing fine.
5. SC services & quality – Personal experience. No bad experience encountered.
6. Resale value – as future extrapolation. Based on the current Korean car resale value had nothing to do with Forte resale value. Any comparison make at the moment is just another assumptions.
7. Sales figure – market demand driven, brand recognition & population belief, availability of stocks & etc.

Backing up with evidences is great. But that doesn’t mean it is factually correct. More than often not, it is down to your interpretation(s) of the facts that count.

Lastly, just a quote from me (and I directed to no one in particular)

“Never argue with an idiot. He/She will bring you down to his/her level AND WIN you by experience”.

Thanks for your reply. Hope everyone will settle down quietly

I noticed that 16" and 17" prices don't differ by much. Probably RM20-RM40? Also depends on brands....and shop shakehead.gif

For price list, this is the best I've found so far. Quite comprehensive and frequently updated: http://forum.autoworld.com.my/index.php?sh...ic=86484&st=980

I noticed that 15" tyres are mostly around RM150-RM250 region....In fact, for Michelin PS3 (195/55/R15), it only costs RM260 cool2.gif. Too bad our's more than 3% smaller in radius/diameter for our Forte, and there's no 65 or 60 profile for that tyre cry.gif

By comparison, the 16" or 17" PS3 costs around RM450-RM480 rclxub.gif
