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

Last week I asked for 205/50/16 PS3 and a shop in Cheras quote me RM480.

I'll try to get pictures for the V8(and FSB for those asking). I've been driving for 1k KM with the tyres. I feel the tires absorb uneven surface better, thus on the road, it feels softer than stock GY tire. However, the grip is much better especially in wet. Cornering is really good at high speed even with the softness feel. I haven't heard it slide yet but I haven't found corners that I'm comfortable with to fully test it.

Noise-wise, i can't really make a conclusion about it. Sometimes i think it sounds louder, sometimes, it's quieter.

Btw, here's a price list that I did through the tire survey:

205/50/16
PS3 RM480 - Cheras
S Drive RM370 -Cheras
Nexen n6000 RM270 - Jln Ipoh
ATR Sport RM215 - Jln Ipoh
V12 RM280- Tek Ming (with trade in)

195/50/16
A Drive R1 RM245 Tek Ming Sunway (with trade in)
Hankook V8 - RM245 Tek Ming (with trade in)

I'm using Honda Genuine 5W-30 Semi-Synthetic SM grade

U dono how to drive issit?
NHC is faster than OHC, defnitely
City drive will definitely affect fuel consumption but keep in mind that VIOS fuel light comes at about 38 litres
while NHC comes at 30 litres only
so if u dare to drive up to 38 litres the fuel consumption is actually just as well, or possibly better 

Yeah i'm sure
Based on gearbox and ratio differences
5MT > CVT

current Vios is faster in pickup, due to lesser weight
but lose in higher speed > 100kmh

No offense to you if you're still driving a OHC 

please comments this post

Oh yeah baby, I bought city way before inspira is even out
Test driven the 2.0P inspira, the torque rapes your old city inside out 
But too bad, H.Civic is even more powerful with its K20Z
Was in need of a daily drive a.s.a.p so 1.5 liter engine is just about right

Sometimes with reverse psychology in effect, people tend to label other as what they actually are
