QUOTE(kapultek @ May 16 2011, 08:23 AM) Will try after reset to full tank. The tyres are cheaper down central Msia. I would give thumbs up to my new sets of tyres because it took off all the rattling sound from the car. Breaking are still the same feeling, hope it does not have any effect on my ABS because of the overall dia. increased by roughly 0.1~0.2mm. The speedometer may be slightly 0.44% slower which means if I run at 100km/h, the correct speed would be somewhere 102km/h. Previously my tyres vibrate so badly that my rear view mirror are making me headache because I can't focus to see the cars behind of its rattling. Now no more issue with it. |

BTW, for all you guys from Penang... got a bad impression of Honda SC @ Sungai Pinang. I went for 1st service on May 7, discovered my headlamp housing got problem, and SC said they'll check w/Honda Malaysia for a FOC headlamp swap/replacement.
Fast forward to today, no update from them, I called up SC to ask WTF is going on, discovered they haven't even opened a complaint ticket to follow-up for me. Really pissed off now. Their customer service wasn't that good in the first place (when I went for 1st service). Then discovered they never even lodge a proper complaint report w/Honda MYS. The SC quickly apologized and said he'll followup w/the technician who serviced my car. Gonna give the fella another chance - if he screw up again, am never going back to this SC, and will try another SC in PG. If you guys ever got other experiences w/Honda SC @ Sg Pinang/Jelutong, pls share.... curious to know what your service was like... or if it's just me unlucky bugger kena like this...

QUOTE(is2rck @ May 16 2011, 08:10 AM) Total damage was RM1800 Brand: Michelin Primacy LC. The feeling for this tyre is total comfort and quiet though. Felt much much better than my stocked. Besides improvement in damping, i think the new wider tyres should also improve your straight line stability and gives better grip at the expense of FC and pick-up (slightly). At least thats the theory.Besides they say I hit something on the road, the other reason they said was someone cutted my tyre. And they don't even keep stock on the tyres and need to book. I can't drive the temp. tyre on the raod, it's just too ugly and dangerous if another Dunlop tyre crack the hell out of me. I'm keen to swap my tyres with Brigdestone Turanza ER30 195/55/16. Good tyres but worn faster. |

QUOTE(iphone @ May 13 2011, 04:54 PM) Bro, same exact feeling here. It just feels so satisfied each time seeing 'Made in Japan' on the Insight components while cleaning her. Even the bottom tiny red reflector on the rear bumper are made in Japan by Koito. Where is that bro ?BUT sadly not all..this morning I saw this... [attachmentid=2211953] |

So you guys face the vibrating rear view mirror as well?Previously my tyres vibrate so badly that my rear view mirror are making me headache because I can't focus to see the cars behind of its rattling. Now no more issue with it. |

My previous car using Michelin Primacy LC, fantastic grip and comfort. Worth every penny. Now this Insight came with Bridgestone Turanza, I gotta agree with you guys, kinda stiff and causes rattling/vibration occasionally, am running them at 210/200 psi front/rear. Also rear view mirror sometime shaky, headache. Glad to hear this can be solve by changing to Michelin or other softer tires.

In the honda insight manual book, the recommended the front/rear tire pressure is 230kPa..shall we follow this standard? coz personally I think its too high |

Even with 33psi, the front tyre looks quite flat with tyre walls bulging like its underinflate.shall we follow this standard? coz personally I think its too high |

QUOTE(mazda6mps @ May 16 2011, 03:37 PM) I notice most honda models will get such response from their owner, a lot of write ups (pros n cons) and i also notice, the car that is popular in Lyn usually a good car or at least offers good value to the price. |
