friends, i have been monitoring this jerky symptom for several days. I found it is jerkier when the IMA kicks in and out... especially during low speed when it switch between fuel, IMA or combination of both... i have not reported this issue with SC yet... it feels like driving manual car with worn out clutch...
*
Exactly.i'll let the SC know when im sending it for 5k service.its really frustrating.paid rm900+ monthly and this is what we get..

Guys our rim width is it 6 or 6.5jj?
Saw Honda CRZ using 195 55 16 and it looks nice & rugged! Thinking of getting 195 or even 205 for added stability.

me, no engine mod. just put in UR 2 points front strut bar(rm180++) and rear Stiff Rings(rm160++), front coming soon after raya. Better respond while cornering and reduce rear tires noise.  cool.gif
*
Where do u install the strut bars & rear stiff rings?
So now when cornering, less body roll?

@kets

very simple, the weight/design of the rim will be not same with the original rim...

So you know the answer very simple.

I thought so!
Thanks!

Had a good research online on tyre sizes and finally changed my stock tyres to new ones in 205 50 16 size fitted in my OEM wheels.
Guess what? the result is unbelievable.Superb comfort,very quiet and super stable.Less jerky feel and great cornering quality!

Had a good spin on my new 205 50 16 tyres today and what a surprise, average fuel consumption is more or less around 17km/l which is the same when im on stock tyres.

fc drops, but better handling esp on cornering. fc drops about 15%.

Tu insight standrard tyre siez 16 185 50? Can change to 16 195 50 or 16 205 50 and no chage stadard rim? Anyn diffferemct in spped?

Changed mine to 205/50/16 with no issues.In fact, lots of Honda Fit & City owners from other international forums are using this size.Check out Kouki Tech tyre size calculator page, it stated max tyre size for all rim width.Ours are 6jj.Click HERE

With 205, you'll get better cornering qualities and ride is way more stable than stock 185/55/16 and no significant loss of gas consumption.

End of the day its what you want.If you hesitate, can always go for slightly expensive stock size for more comfort & quietness.Im happy with my decision of going 205 nod.gif
