dry/wet grip > durability > NVH/comfort > price ,

hope your opinion & experience will make me easier to decide, can also suggest outside my shortlisted tyres if got better choice, budget around rm1200, thanks

4 piece lo...
i think you really a newbie leh..
haha

Yup, is my first car. Do you mind tell me how many liter manual gearbox oil and brake fluid do it need? Really thank you... : )

auto i know la... cause i use auto ma... .. manual need wait other to respond..
brake fluid.. around 1.5 liter....

Thanks for help~happy new year to you too~

i changed 4 pieces XM2 today at RM255 each at Klang. Yoko C-Drive 2 RM230 per piece and Conti CC-5 RM210 per piece.

hahaha i asked the exact same question when i first got my car also..... i also tot spark plug is selling in 1 by 1 and each cost RM100+

haha, i know it selling by set, but i don't know how many the car need and how many in the box. better ask experienced owner here and is good to learn too.

For the budget, you should go for PS3. Grip and comfort in 1 package. XM2, Cdrive2 and CC5 cannot even offer 2/3 of the PS3's grip.
Eh, newbie Campro CPS engine user can join persona thread, right? Campro family ma

can join,,,nearly bcom chapalang thread liao...

ok.. pm me the time, ur number and ur house address..
thanks dailou

Esso can achieve this result too

my car only can achieve 7.7L/100km only. how u guys manage to hit those fc?

They go down Genting without stepping on the gas pedal much.

PS3 tak da stock size lar even tho price is near XM2. Thats why more popular trend goes to either XM2 or CD2. CC5 although adequate seems to be on the losing end when compared to both. Other brands also got, like Kumho but no sufficient local review to established general performance for various drivers.

Added on January 3, 2013, 11:02 amSiao kah, paying RM40 for air. I also used nitrogen for a couple of years for my City but its free (a service my tyre mechanic offers if you buy and maintain tyres at their shop). Goes back every 3 month to pump FOC. If pay RM40 every 3 months or so, that will add up to RM160 yearly when its free for standard air pump. Not worth it. Too bad my tyre shop machine spoiled after a few years and don't bother replacing them.

Nitrogen although lessen air lose rate and supposedly lighter and whatever less corrosion generally serve no purpose for everyday driver like us except for convenient of saving a couple of trip to air pump. It works for racers as every seconds count with nitrogen supposedly light weighted thingy helping to improve whatever miniscule performance needed. What type of miniscule performance increase that we need....miliseconds...hah.

And what corrison lessening.....tyres tread gonna habis before any normal air "corrosion" takes place, so that point it totally mute. As for lighter during driving, yes, it does seems that way, the only true advantage I found but then again, if you want lighter, just pump slightly more air to your tyres, same effect albeit a bit harder and its free.

Pumping nitrogen means you have to go back to shop to check.....extra trip. Petrol station air pump ended up more convenient albeit more trips needed but you have to pump petrol, right?

For those that only pump nitrogen when change tyres.....either you pumped once and never pump air again, that means your tyres gonna kaput very soon OR you pumped nitrogen once then go pump normal air....do note nitrogen when mixed with normal air becomes......normal air. Meaning once its contaminated with normal air, nitrogen actually loses whatever advantage it got when it chain reacted back to normal air.

Thats my 2 cents on nitrogen based on my experience and cost calculation of 2 years of using it.

Added on January 3, 2013, 11:04 amPC cable from alternator to battery = High Quality Photo-Conductor cable that provide alternate path from alternator to battery directly. PC cable does not degrade overtime.....at least thats the idea.

Added on January 3, 2013, 11:07 amBy the time alarm sounded, battery already dead, so got VS no VS also no difference liao. Its the harder crank start symptom that might appear when battery still working but weaker. Cold start after a long period of non usage means the VS is not charged that I believe harder COLD crank start symptom will still appear even with VS on

Added on January 3, 2013, 11:15 amDry/Wet Grip -> CD2
Durability -> XM2
NVH -> XM2
Price -> CD2

So....if you put Performance over everything at stock size, CD2 to go. If you want more comfort and durability, XM2, so set your priority. 1 PE here vouched on Kumho KH17 or something like that. If you want better tyres, upgrade to 205/55/15 closest.
