My mileage (used by wifey) is 26k only but no choice... Have to follow scheduled service

Need to follow one meh...?

Yours in GE right...? First 3 service is free, I followed until then, after that I follow the 5K-mileage instead of the scheduled 3-month interval...

Yes. GE. If you don't follow, your warranty will be void as it states 5k or 3 months or whichever comes first...

I went to Honda AutoWorld Sg Buloh, one guy told me after first 3 free services, follow mileage enough already. That was on the 4th service (15k km) when my mileage was only 10k km. Who's right who's wrong, I dunno...

I'm left with only 8 months warranty... Hopefully nothing happens...

The fuel filter la must be. Wait 60k or is it 100k.another whack bcos of spark plugs.

Aslkan they endorse the service booklet and let u claim when the time comes. Who cares who is right?

Better handling because of wider tread n better tyre spec. Down side is very slightly slower pick up n properly burn more fuel?
Overall happy with the tyre change.

hmmm, true also~ tyre heavier than stock burn more fuel~ but how about other aspects like the grip for dry and wet road, tyre noise, and tyre comfortness?

Grip and comfort usually dun go together.

Anyways 185/55/r16 is stock size on high spec jazz. How can it burn more fuel?

There is always ways to get around it like buying japan made enkei's made with M.A.T process to counter the weight. But it is just dumping loads of money.

I doubt many can tell the difference by swapping tyres. Furthermore, you need to weight the 15 and 16" tires and rims separately to know what went where.

The cabin noise...cheap plastic feel...

Check on michelin ps3 n u know the overall performance of this tyre is on par with tyres like yoko s drive, bridgestone re003 etc.
Silent, good grip in wet n dry. Classified under uhp tyre. Downside..expensive. i bought mine at 1680 for 4, 9 mths ago.

share some sidestory :

last week i experienced VSC in action for the first time in my life. That time, the rain was quite heavy, was driving Lanchang roads leading towards highway. At a corner, i just drove like i usually do on a dry weather, noticed my tyres started to slip, then notice VSC flash few times on the dashboard, and felt the car slowed down and magically "glued" to road, even when im not pressing on brakes and lightly on accelerator pedal.

A memorable scary experience for driving, but good to know VSC is working.

I guess the front wheels and rear wheel speeds are out of nominal tolerance speed gap. Then VSC kicks in on time.

compare to my current Mit Mirage, noise for Jazz is considered as improvement maybe?
personal opinion when eyeing n comparing both car, the improvement should be stability, power, comfort.
FC should be almost same if traffic jam around KL golden triangle and cheras everyday

saddest thing is still no time to test drive

May I know your current tire condition? how long have you been using those tires? just wondering how would it be if tires already worn out. will VSC helps then?

i would say the tires' condition at >90%, all 4 tires are stock on GE8.

I guess if the tires are worn out, VSC will still activate, but it will take alot of time to stabilize the car.

PS3 is actually not on the same grade as yokohama s drive i believe. Cos, above it is already PSS if i am not wrong.

It is not bad lar if you don't mind the fact that you will never be able to do cross rotations anymore due to the in/out thread design

I jist changed my 205/45/r17 at 450 a piece.

Wat to do la. This is not a lexus wei. Sound insulation at this sort of price range is just utterly minimal. Furthermore, the plastics is not what is bothering me now. The ultra seats when no one is seating is much more of a nuisance

Vsc is supposed to work whether, you are on gas, full gas, off the gas, or braking. As long as there is grip in the tires, it will do everything in order to save the car by analyzing the forces against your steering input.

Vsc is not a compensation tool. It is not there for you to skimp on general car maintenance. The basics of VSC still revolves around the available grip of your tires.

The less grip, the more chances VSC kicks in if you push it. It will also mean you have less of a warning between when you have or totally lose grip which means even VSC might not be able to save you.

So, do not run the tire to the ground and expect vsc to do magic. It is there for safety, not to be taken for granted. It works in a very simple ground rule, "availability of grip from the tires"
