1. Silverstone 165/60R13 @ RM180 for Kenari, is it OK?
Achilles (Made in Indonesia) is better because they are suitable to our wheather?
2. is it OK if both front are 165/60R13 but both rear are 165/65R13?
no idea on the price as i'm running on 14". got my 14" rm170+, conti cc5
why 65? better if you can keep on stock profile which is 60. if you're changing from 65 -> 60, sorry my bad

Hi, I'm new here.
I recently opened a
thread in this section on choosing rims/tires for my Kenari before I saw this group.
My car is a second-hand 2003 model, and is due for major repairs this month. During my last service, the SA recommended the following parts be replaced:
1. Engine mounting
2. Oil pan
3. Gasket (bottom I think, due to the oil pan)
4. Exhaust mounting (the rubber bits that hold the exhaust to the body have hardened and started cracking)
Additionally, I've been told to replace the following parts:
1. Rims (tire shop boss told me that some of my rims are dented, and that the chambers are damaged)
2. A/C blower (the air conditioning goes "dead" during long distance journeys, for example if I'm traveling from Seremban to KL, the A/C gives out a weird sound and the air comes out slow and warm by the time I reach Kajang)
Last but not least, I have some non-essential repairs that I'd like to do if it's affordable:
1. Rear speakers sometimes display drops in volume
2. CD player no longer works
3. Air purifier (or whatever this thing is called) that's attached to the rear speakers randomly turns on/off (is it possible to just remove this thing?)
I'd appreciate your advice on what I should look out for before I send the car in for repairs. Any experience you guys have had is greatly appreciated.
run thru that thread you opened
3. gasket? which one they are referring? definitely not oil pan as it's stated at 2, i'm guessing it's the valve cover gasket? the one on top?
rims!
from your thread on f 'n' f, i would suggest you to change Myvi rim, any Myvi rim will do. i'm using it now with stock Kenari size, potholes, speed bumps, you name it... not too sure on Myvi LB, on both old Myvi SE, it's by Enkei.
no no to Taiwan or China rim, it can't last. my car was involved with major accident early of 2013, cracks found on rim, 1.5" i would say? Taiwan or China mali, try to look around and see.
yes correct profile 55 to 60 will protect the rim, but seriously, not gonna help much when you get used to it and don't care anymore, same shit will gonna happen. and the worst case is there's not much of brand & model variety for profile 60.
i wouldn't suggest you to repair the rim, because this 14" rim is already infamous of dented, no point fixing it. 2ndly, tested on friend's original Works rim, get to know where the dented are, get it fixed, then putted a big X there for marking purpose. after a year, exacted same place got dented again, rim cannot be repaired! unless you want it for show purpose
but still, don't treat Myvi rims like god, it's just durable and cheap, 4 piece rm300~500 depend on condition and design.
air purifier, just unplug it will do. been there, done that!
