I just change my city tyre to CONTIPREMIUMCONTACT 2 .. No longer bumpy and working quiet and nice ..

that is the OEM tyres for new batch NHC... dry grip still okay but not so good in the wet

is continental tyre really famous for the quietness?

I'm currently having the ContiPremiumContact2 as stock on my car. Somehow , it is not that quiet and doesn't really grip that well on wet surfaces...

Yeah. ABS has been activated a few times over wet surface using conti tyre. Probably it's because of the width, 185, like 14 inches. And it's quite loud as well.

Definitely not a quiet tyre...

But due to bad grip offered by the Goodyears and as far as cost is concerned, Honda chosen ContinentalPremiumContact 2 as stock OEM tyres..

I'm still waiting for them to wear off, these tyres sure can last long but grip / noise really not up to the standard

Anybody have changed their tyres and use 195/50/R16? (not going to change the E spec rim because it is Enkei afterall) Please suggest some tyre choices for this size

Most of them say 195 would be the best due to our rim's width. Apparently , some Honda City owners changed theirs to 205 without any problem. However , some said that it may look a bit like a donut. I'm planning to change mine to 205 when my tyre wears out tho.

Conti premium contact2 is not that good either...poor grip on wet roads...and noisy as well

Ya, I swap it from my another car- polo .. Since polo had change a to 17"inch

The white bottle container juz located behind the radiator. see carefully.

i went to lim tayar to check out tyres the other day.. those guys keep telling me waa.. conti good conti good.. very quiet..

I hv changed to contipremiumcontact 1 quite long time ago already. Srsly its not bad, quite quiet .grip is not too bad and the threads last damn long. Did about 60000 kms with the tyres d, so far still hv loads of thread left

thanks mate .. will look for it

conti tyres that we are using, sidewall is very weak. just be careful not to park too close to the kerb.

what will happen if park too close to the kerb? u dun brush the side of the kerb so much rite..? u'll worry of hurting ur rims more than the tyres.. hehe..

hello guys im having problem with my honda city 3G
i wonder how come whenever i start my engine either early in morning or after i leave it quite some time then start again.

my temperature meter , the boat lookalike green color is there ?
It seems I have to warm up for about 2minutes before it dissapear,any idea what could be happening ?

Im using Semi Syn Honda 5w-40 oil , could that be the problem and should I use the mineral instead?cause peviously whenever i start the car,i can move as soon as i start.now this is irritating

thanks

It's always better to warm up the car for every morning / cold start for about 5 minutes no matter what car you drive.. If you love the car / want the car to last long
Honda is more sensitive towards this warm up procedure, which is why the new City has a blue temperature icon to signify the engine is cold and requires warm up before the go
Other model like Civic and Accord has the complete temperature gauge but it is still more advisible to wait for the gauge to rise to optimum temperature level before taking off the car

hurting tyres is fine, until we get it punctured.
to avoid getting the rim scratched that easily, just change to 205 tyre.

but previously whenever i start my car,the warm up indicator is not there. it started showing lately about 2months already.

nothing to do with engine oil ?
