interesting... cos comparing XM2 with Primacy LC... next time check the price first

of cos lar, ori size is 175... with 2cm more each tyre, sure lot more stable... but pickup also should be affected quite a lot... or still the same?

going to change my XM1 to XM2 too... only less than RM10 different in price now...

this is best price i got d after checked with few tyre shops include hup shun, i also no believe with the price but this is real .... LC do not have the size 195 55 r15 i think and most shop said no more stock for LC as been replaced by PS3 and XM2, and LC tread wear is only 240 i think .... wear out very fast.
well, in terms of pick up i din feel a very much different maybe i changed it soon after got the car .... first tank fc ~13km/L (rm50 for 350km) .... from shah alam to pj for work

LC got 195/55R15, i used it before on my City but 2 years back lar... now change back to 185/55R15, PS3...
but you are right, the shop told me there won't be anymore LC...

like that maybe my Vios i'll change to 195/55R15 XM2 like yours

changes from 185/60/15 to 195/55/15, i feel a significant different in handling but the steering is heavier.

Hi Kazami, handling is better for 195 right? In terms of pick up and fc, which is better? Or almost the same?

Pick up n fc. No comment as I drive this car once in a while. Steering heavier as well

Guys, which aftermarket brake pads would have a similar feel to the original Vios brake pads? Better still if anyone knows which company/brand it is for the original brake pads.

bigger size.. heavier fc as well.. not much.. but i think there's difference.. some might say no..

when i changed to 185/55R15 to 195/55R15 for my City, the first feeling is the acceleration, very obvious the car felt heavier, steering gave more feel, a lot better cornering, more stable at higher speeds... FC not much difference...

but changed back to 185/55R15 cos don't whack corners everyday also... more straight road drive

as for highway, dont have much different but maybe city driving yes (higher FC)

Yong, take back ori brake pad if u worried about after market brake pad. go to sparepart shop and labour only RM20 to 30.

Hi, i'm thinking to get Vios..which spec is better? G spec or E spec? Like say if i'm asking put spoiler and skirting TRD, how much cost for it?

difference between E and G is only the below:
E vs G:
fabric seats vs leather seats
14 inch rims vs 15 inch rims
175/65R14 Goodyear Eagle NCT5 vs 185/60R15 bridgestone Potenza RE080
rear brake drums vs rear disc brakes
black interior vs beige interior
G has door visor

TRD bodykit the cheapest i found in from VZS RM850 full set TRD PU without spoiler

i think 185 is good enough even at corners.. not like really whacking that corner la.. think its stable enough..

I asked around, but nobody seems to know (or care) about it.. I suspect it is similar to Bosch Power Plus, coz it is less dusty.

TQ kenji...

Now i'm trying looking any best promotion with free some goodies like smart tag, touch and go, full tank petrol...


Any area in KL will give kinda this offer?

Yesterday parked side by side my TRD with the latest TRD. =|
Like the leather seat so much..sigh..

go wrap

You mean get the ori brake pads from spare parts shop? For this, my only concern is that they might be selling fake ones.

Have you tried the Bosch one yourself? If yes, how did it feel?

i heard ferodo bite but dusty. i got friend working at sparepart shop at klang. but i dont know whether u trust them or not.
or u can PM cheeann in LYN. his workshop at old klang road. last time i took ori brake pad from him and also do brake fluid change.
