Yeah..that was one of the consideration for the price but I heard can't last more than 25k km it seems...is it really quiet?two more am considering is the hankook 12v and gy ef1 D5..what other brands do u carry?

Thanks very Audi look but not very stands out than K5

Hi, did anyone check with the Kia SC what's the difference between the power steering on the Forte 2.0SX and the Optima. The brochure for Forte shows 2.0SX having Motor Driven power steering while Optima has it as Hydraulic Power, Rack & Pinion. Not sure if this is contributing to the jumpy steering on the Optima. I had posted in the past (tab 80) a link to UK Optima site that shows it's power steering as motor assisted. Is the Optima in Malaysia using that or just a Hydraulic steering which means even the Forte 2.0 SX has a better system? Curious to know this because if the jumpy steering issue is solved, I wanna get this car.... provided Naza don't decide to increase the price before that of course Tq.

Nano brite coating 5 yrs warranty.. how much bro?

Bro, if u really wanna spend the money and change your tyres then please go for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2. Dont bother changing to other brands e.g Hankook, etc. The only available size for the Optima is 235-45-R18. Its a better tyre compared to even the Michelin Pilot Sport 3. Very good reviews online too.

Yeah, thanks for the links, was thinking of sticking to the standard tire dimensions...not sure if there are any difference in terms of handling though seeing the contact patch is wider....better grip in the dry

Added on July 12, 2012, 10:55 amWell, I dont have friends who used those 2 tires before so dont have any real life feedbacks, what I know is all read forums and it seems most of the reviews stipulates these 2 to be 'quiet', I mean I want some handling as well and not just primarily quiet, If sole number one factor is quiet, would have went with those primacys or dunlop Veuros302....was really looking at those Advan DB551 but too bad daretodrift aint bringing it in? You got any suggestions for quiet tires bro?

Not sure if Toyo Proxes sedan tires are quiet, I have them shod on my SUV and it handles like its on rail but emits some drone whilst travelling highway maybe because the Toyo's thread are quite aggresive.

On the other hand you may opt for Dunlop Veuro (Import from Japan). I changed mine to those and find it to be quite silent as well. Hope that helps in your decision. It comes in 225/45/18 as well.

K5 owners,

any one added alarm system? can you share where you done it and the cost?

Thanks

bUGG has changed to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 Size 235/45/18. Page 87

perhaps he can provide the feedback how is the tyre

Where did you change yours bro? how is the handling? These tires also not stocked at many places...only shop that have them is one place in Klang but she didn't give me the exact price, she just told me 600+ over the phone...how much did you gets yours and where? thanks for the response..

How much is the nano brite coating?

K5 already comes with alarm. Why need to add? Unless, super good, but definitely will void warranty

That was Good....
I just comeback frm SC for my 10k service..

How much the sound proofing and the coating? and where?

K5WHITE, our K5 got alarm meh? Mine, i don't think i have...Last month went to install my tint film, my SA ask me wether i want to install alarm or not? I asked him the K5 don't have alarm? OMG? No wonder before I put my deposit I did ask him bout the security of the K5 and he just keep quiet?

Yeah i got it from Kapar, Klang. Its a corner lot shop..pretty huge (Tayar Chin Heng). Got it for RM620 (brother's price). I wouldn't know how much you can fetch those for. Cheers.

What is the trade-in value of the Nexen tyres?
