Read from newspaper several weeks ago, statement from NazaKia top management, got about 20k++ Forte on the road now (Malaysia). Consider that as a rare breed? I believe so  thumbup.gif
*
20k++??

divide by 14 state = 1428 unit...
divide by 10 daerah (johor) = 142
divide by area (JB/JB tengah/ PG) = 47
divide by 17 taman perumahan = 2

no wonder i'm the only forte owner in my taman.... laugh.gif

I will still want a quieter tyre, with relatively better braking than normal comfort tyre. I race once in a while but if I do that I race hard. So there is a dilema in which category to choose and which brand to choose. It all goes down to money.
*
yes.
it all goes down to money. so how much u wanna spend on each tyre?

pls also consider; if tyre pecah/kembung/kene slash/ in the middle of month...duit lagi... sweat.gif

Belum tukar. Have not make up my mind yet. A friend is swearing by Assy 2 as in if the Assy 2 fail me he will jump off from KLCC. Bro Iz says MC5 is good for normal drive. I do think that my driving style is similar to Bro Iz. I do not have enough tyre experience. Maybe I just need the leap of faith? So I am in dilemma. Of course price is also an issue. Bro jeschong has gave me a contact. Suppose to be good price, but the quoted PS3 is 470 per piece including balancing allignment. So even if the trade in price for 4 tryes is 150 each, it will not really make any difference. I was quoted 440 else where.
*
btw...i also using MC5.

really senyap. at 120kmh; on certain road, wind noise is more noticeable than the tyre noise... (if u trust me la.. rolleyes.gif )
