I'm getting my Forte very2 soon and planning to downgrade the rim from 17 to 16 since I'm a pothole magnet...
Any suggestion for the best tyre brand to choose for?
FYI, I'm not quite good with this automotive thingy... A noob actually...

QUOTE(kidmad @ Dec 19 2012, 12:26 PM) Budget? Haha the tyre price range is too huge. The good ones will be double the price of the crappy onces. Can try Federal - Yoko - Continental/Goodyear - Michelin. Arrange in price range difference figure.  I do have budget and willing to spend more but not the too expensive laa... Hehehehehehe... Any suggestion???

QUOTE(kidmad @ Dec 19 2012, 12:30 PM) Seems like a good idea.. The paddle shift when you are using.. do you downshift it? or only just use the upshift? Added on December 19, 2012, 12:35 pmyokohama C-Drive 2.. One of the best grip+comfort tyre at the cost of below RM400. should be around RM360/RM370 per piece. But still you need a set of 16" if you are changing them. On the other hand i downgraded to 15" and gotten the C-Drive 2 at eaach RM205. Very very damn comfortable and wet grip improved tremendously. Still 16/17" with better tyres would definitely be better. Thanks bro for your feedback... Maybe will downgrade ito 16... Yokohama will be on top of list for the time being... Will do more research before deciding which is the best...

Mine so far no problem - A very short drive... Tomorrow will test it for a long drive to JB...
But I just realised that my HU kinda love to disconnect randomly (no HU connection to the speaker for a few second for many times) - especially when driving through a slightly bumpy road... Become silent suddenly... Anyone had this kind of problem...

QUOTE(kailord @ Dec 27 2012, 03:12 PM) Were you using GPS during that drive? The volume of our stock GPS does not tally with the radio. GPS volume is much much lower than radio. And speaker priority goes to the GPS. So when you are on normal radio volume (3 - 5), the radio will be silenced to give way to GPS but you don't hear a thing due to the volume difference. Thanks... I'm not sure.. Maybe the GPS is ON... Will test it later today... Thanks Again...

QUOTE(kidmad @ Jan 2 2013, 02:34 PM) Bro try, Lucas Oil Stabalizer or LM Ceratec. There are quite a number of engines are famous for the issue. Engine oil are not fully covering the engine causing loud roar and engine knocking. So a certain oil additive really do help. I'm using Ceratec for my 1.6SX too.  poured in during my first 300km. haha Thanks for the info... Mine roar loudly in the morning... But just for a few second... Just pour it into the engine oil??

QUOTE(g88 @ Jan 3 2013, 10:56 AM) Coating - Yes Pricy - Depend how you maintain it. It your think after coating, only wash once a week or car is park under sunlight or acid rain all time, you can save your $$ Wax - Yes Cheaper IF compare with coating but there is also expensive wax where you can use for years (e.g one CAN) - Wax not a must polishing IF you able to main your paintwork well. Just TOP UP when you think your protection layer is getting thinner Ur point of view is not very accurate. Sorry to say so I usually park my car at open area and most of the time will be exposed to direct sunlight and acid rain... Does coating help to preserve the paintwork??? Will send my car for coating next week... QUOTE(g88 @ Jan 3 2013, 11:03 AM) Just passby  Hahahaha.. We should go for TT next time laa... I belanja you at LG1 food court...

QUOTE(g88 @ Jan 3 2013, 11:19 AM) COATING is alike an extra layer of clear coat for your paintwork (some claim scratch resistance) but PROCESS of applying it is NOT EASY, you need to ensure SURFACE is swirl free and different coating has its own way of applying , drying (we call CURE time) and MAINTAINANCE. Yes it somehow give better 'result' compare to waxing but as i said DEPEND HOW U MAINTAIN IT. A lot ppl have wrong mindset where i have done COATING my paintwork will be invincible and i only wash my car every month.... There is no such MAGIC product in the world work like this (at least for now), our climate acid rain will still create dirt film and bond to the surface...just that darker colour car not so easy to be spotted. Thanks for the info and this really open my eye about it... Will get as much information about it later from the coating shop how to maintain it properly at least...
