OR........ like me.... on 205 45 R17 tires... i am using 29psi still. (ya go ahead and shoot me all you want guys....) been using such air pressure on my previous cars with same tire config except that on a 16inch with no problems... for years. and its as comfy as the stock tires honestly. Those less than 45 series tires may need higher pressure. hell, this is just my opinion though. if u feel its best to have higher air pressure, then by all means go ahead. air pressure preference or recommendation is very highly dependent on driver's personal preference. some like it hard some like it soft. eventhough the tires are thinner, it does not look "flat" due to the thick and stiff side walls. so, rolling resistance is quite minimal as well.

just beware of big potholes though. usually ppl increase air pressure on thinner profile tires to generally protect them in a way... but i dun quite bother since it does not effect me at all. i do not want to ride on a stiffy ride while on thinner tires.

oh btw, smetimes i go off road with such tires as well... so u can imagine how much it does not effect me.

Added on January 11, 2011, 3:21 pm...off road with ur Persona? I would like to sue u for abusing Persona. LoL

29 ah? ? Never try before wor. I'm riding on around 32-35, depends when I need handling & when I need comfort lor.. If long distance like balik kampung, then I pump around 33 psi. If short distance like Uncle Lim's place or around town where swerving & cutting in out traffic is needed, then 35 lor..

Am on 215/45/17

nolah i dun go fast on offroad... not tht crazy la. hahaha... on my persona once or twice only. but my previous car... more often when in low profile tires.... some more... it was lowered. u know... places like oil palm estates...

what is the price for 17" rim and tyres (1set)

very hard to answer ur question. cuz its not specific at all. things like sizes, new or 2nd hand or recond and brand..... and type of designs etc....

Agreed. Could be anything between 2k - >10k, depending on made, tyres, design, brand, etc.

haha...if use ayam brand, new rim, how much it will cost me?

not sure about the rims...but if you are going for branded tyres like michelin.... this is wat i get from their website



of cos.... retail price should be lower

Ayam brand?

Tot ayam brand only got tuna in can. Never know that they got sell rim also

29psi!!! im going into epileptic shock.. Nvm bro.. I know the roads over there.. My mom from sandakan.. 4WD rules those places..

Can fit 19", but the biggest rims with 4holes pcd 114.3 is 18" only.. Unless u mau custom made.. Sunway got the 18" 4H rims..

Ayam brand Mackeral RM5.20 per can.. Rim size 1.25" only.. haha..
It shd be Taiwan made imitations. A good price indication for u is
16" rims Price starts around 900 for 4rims only
17" rims price starts around 1200 for 4 rims only..
To fit bigger rims u need to buy centre cone, if not ur wheels will vibrate gila babi kuat on high speed..
Tires depends.. Check tire ratings (its on the tire wall).. If u want good handling on wet roads get Traction with AA rating..
The higher the treadwear the better.. But doesnt necessarily means ur tire last longer than lower threadwear tires.
Anything else??

Got lah.. But its gotta be the softest rims ever.. Max load 25kg..

Roger.. No probs.. just gib me call.. Same shell station.

Btw just collected the spark plugs today..
Poison for u all..







Looks and feel different.. Initial report, car very easy to start.. It needed like 4cranks to start.. Normally needs 6cranks.. But engine was warm lah.. Probably thats y easier to start.. But omg.. This gotta be the best mod so far.. Can really feel the improvements across all RPM.. 3k RPM above the smoothness is magical.. Xandras and jackyap84 sure gonna love it.. FC cant tell lah.. I whack car kaw kaw on kesas after getting the spark plugs.. This tank gonna be affected ady..

whats the default psi ? those at driver door there ?

Yes

Hoho... everyone infected with poison already? For those who not purchase the spark plug, is it regret now? Wahahaha...

I only know Ayam brand, I dunno other brand ....

I more prefer comfortable and handling average. Any tyre can recommend? and price too....
I don't want later change rim/tyre, like Ayam kena belih....

i went to bangi servis mesra...the grease they put is blue color..but they just add grease without cleaning the mechanism...like this next service i will go to serdang sc la..or maybe go to juru sc when balik kpg during CNY..

Added on January 12, 2011, 12:51 amBro, maybe u should tell us ur budget so that we can roughly estimate & give u a few better options? How old are ur stock steel rims & tyres? How many KMs?
