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.

Siao 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.

PC 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.

By 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

Dry/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.

hahaha, kumho me. but I will definitely 100% say if I happen to be in KL that time, I will never use Kumho even after I use it and experienced it edi.
The reason is that in KL, the tyre are cheaper for the same model. FYI, when I surveyed, CC5 price is Rm240 per tyre, and it is one year ago. C-Drive 2 that time is edi Rm255. That the price here. Therefore, since I am frequent traveller, I shall consider my next tyre change in KL. Another thing is Kumho is definitely not easy to find also. can opt for nexen or neuton. neuton is a good option for those that upgraded their rim to 16'' for its price as recommended. nexen not sure about the stock siz availability but review is that it is much comfort than neuton while neuton is more grippy with traction AA. with the Rm190 price tag, I think the money saved to upgrade to sport rims is ok for me XD

Well that's that I've thought so RM10 for a tire is just expensive but since last I change the tires were handle by my dad so he sponsored. Next change I should demand for free from them liau.

I may favor this over going to the tire shop every time when I need to pump air.

Maybe because its designed to blend the long life of platinum and performance of iridium...

Anyway I would utilize up to only 80K for optimum performance. By 100K, performance would have degraded greatly as it is at its end of life.

For our Denso Iridium Power IT20, has not plug in yet even over 1 year in my storage waiting for my FOC stock plug that changed at 20K to expire. Will only change at 40K mileage. Expected it to last to 30K, then at 70K, use back same type until 100K mileage.
