wow bro! thanks for the info!!

Issit already well known for wobbly feeling at 120kmph? and not my suspension problem ya?

I've slightly upgraded my tyre to 185-60-15 Potenza tyre.
for S spec 15 inch.
your recommendation - 195-50 , 205-45 is refer to 15 inch or 16 inch bro? if 15 inch , any reocmmendation?
for number 4- just my personal opinion - City chasis is stiff enough, i guess the problem wont be the chasis stiffness , it should be something to deal with the Air Turbulences so aerokit might work.

Quite well known I supposed.. got plenty of discussion about this in the previous v7 if I recall. Mostly because the stock tyre they provided is really tiny. I was referring to the 16", for 15" I'm not too sure.

The modulo kit might work well I think, I read it in one of the city forum before. It does provide more stability so its not just for show.

My previous ride is all hatchback (satria, neo, swift) so maybe I'm not used with the wobbly feeling from a sedan? Quite noticeable when I first got the car, but now not too much.. not sure maybe I'm used to it. Hahaha.

Not much different for 185/60 R15. Go for 195/55 R15 with harder side wall, you will feel the different. I'll opt for 195/60 R15 which is more comfort and stable as compare to stock tyre. Both size will fit to S spec 15" rim

but thinking for comfort as well, will it be too "heavy" for the car to go 195 60 15?

Try and keep the 'ECO' light on for as long as you can I suppose. Haha.. if you cruise at 120km/h - 130km/h, the 'ECO' light should light up most of the time.

ok i able to hit 19km/l on my way from kl to JB.

the most eco way to drive city for me would be

rev up aggresively to 100-110km/h , then step lightest as u can. u will achieve 20-25km/L in this stage. so the speed will slowly drop due to gear5 got not much power to hold, but then it wont drop too fast, usually for me drop until 90-100 then i step and pump it up to 110 again


because from what i found, if from 0-110km/h if you drive slowly to achieve 110km/h it actually get worse FC.

What after market brake pad brand better for our Honda City 5G? Change to OEM from Honda Stockist but performance are so disappointing. When hot with lot of braking, got steel rubbing sound, so damn loud. No sound if it cold. Make me feel so damn shy to brake. I know Pumatec 480 is good, but can't find any for our Honda City, if anyone can find it, please let me know. PM me or post it here. Looking STRICTLY for Pumatec 480 as Pumatec 500 ceramic is known for eating the disc rotor. Thanks in advance.

oh gosh, i forgot 500 will eat rotor.. i changed to this since that shop out of stock for 480.. but the grip is good.. tongue.gif

Once I called a shop asking for Pumatec 480 for Honda City 2010, then the girl said got, but need to be at the shop see first coz got 2 size, I like WTF if for City 2010 should be one size that fit it. No matter la so I went to the shop, then she show me only got Pumatec 500. I'm pissed coz I already call 3 times to reconfirm on the availability of what I needed. When I ask Pumatec 480 then it Pumatec 480 is what i need and want, no need to say 500 is better or what.

city actally quite stable if without the wobbly effect.
I think the chasis/suspension is stiff enough so its realy stable.

but talk about the aerodynamic or smtg that cause the wobly effect, i have no idea why a 1200 kg get affected by wind so easily.
next tyre will use 195 /60 and see whether still encounter this problem or not
