Ops my bad. It is 14 inch rims.

14'' is 60 series tyres actually. I'm gonna change to 13'' wheels...downgrading the wheel doesn't mean poorer performance... I could increase comfort level and wider tyres mean more grip.

on savvy

15'' rims with 175/50/15
14'' with 165/60/14
13'' with 185/60/13

cool, congrads

Nice one matrix~Let me know whats your number plate via PM as i wanna know whats mine too =P

is there any way to install a analog fuel indicator rather than the inaccurate current one?.. at least make it has more bars like the myvi which has 8 bars

don't tell me that it's WQK?

Tyre profile are not correct. If they run 14s on 165/60, then on 13s it should be 155/70 to maintain the correct tyre profile.

Wider tyre does not mean more grip if you have taller profiles. The tall profile will negate the wider tyres as the tyre walls flex and lift the contact patch off the ground. In fact you would end up driving on less contact patch.

I did ask some people before about this, they said that you will have to do alot of job by taking out the stock one and find a replacement censor and lots of things to be done and will cost you alot.

Haha according to JPJ website it is?

13" wider then 14 and 15 ?

WQK xxxx.

Just have my first drive just now from Mutiara.

Ist stop at Shell petrol station.....unfortunately can't open petrol cover! (very embarrasing..)...quickly called SA and asked him should i turn left or right to open cover...he said anti-clockwise and even offered to drive over to help me...i said no need, i try first. So it turned it anti-clockwise...managed to open it but it's quite hard to turn ler...Is it normal??? My wife will definitely going to hate this...

Ok, then continue with driving home. So far so good, i've hit 100km/h max (i try not to go over 90km/h as the Myvi burn-in period recommendation is 90km/h).

Oh yeah...what is this complaining by some Savvy owner engine loud ar? Ok mah...where got loud...at 100km/h, it's maybe only slightly louder than my Myvi and not "roaring" as some Savvy drivers said...maybe they used to drive Camry??? If you want to hear a roar, try driving a Viva 850...even at 2nd and 3rd gear, low speed sounds like lion already.

btw, unfortunately, my new Savvy does not have sound proof material under the front hood... , but on the bright side, since it's not really that loud to begin with and i can further reduce the noise later with some padding.

When i reached home, i checked the manual and found that the recommended max speed for burn in period is actually 110km/h for the Savvy... ...also has recommended gear and speed but who the heck can remember that....so i'll just stay within 110km/h before 1st service.

btw, it comes with an immobilizer alarm in the key(has a chip inside).

Well, in terms of driving experience, i'm sure glad i didn't buy a VIVA. Now i just hope it's more reliable than a SAGA. Gulp.

Maybe it's a 1st time. So everything still in tight.

Recheck the calculation, with 155/70 the difference is big at 1.2% compare the tyre sizes I provided only has 0.3-0.4% difference. On 13'', 185/60/13 is the best bet. 155/70 is just too narrow.

You're right about the higher profile tyres there...more body rolls. Even with 55 series I could feel much difference but what to do it suit best on our kind of roads here. But many users reported not much difference in handling performance - straight road stability and acceleration are improved a bit due to lighter 13'' rims compare to the stock 15'' sprot rims.

The only tyre size that can go wider on 15'' rims is 195/45 cos higher profile will scrape the absorber mounting.

Added on August 19, 2007, 2:25 pmfuuh Congrats on ur new ride hehe. Petrol cover- counter clockwise to open. To lock it, clockwise, turn hard until you heard "a loud click".

Weird no soundproof material. I see 07 savvy comes with it. How bout the one at firewall?

actually frankly, you dont need to run-in your engine...

But doesnt it apply for ur campro only?
