crap...! then I missed my Alza with PS3s on it...

well... any tires is the same... most importantly is to drive safely and sensibly...

if you drive faster because you think you have grippier rubber... it defeats the purpose in the first place...

the price gap between different tires in smaller sizes are usually not as big as the bigger sizes... once you reach something like 17 / 18"... the jump is usually not very acceptable...

something like yoko A.Drive R1 will cost like RM300 per piece, toyo t1r around RM400, and then PS3 close to RM500... all in the same size...

Mine comes with GT3. Not bad la. I heard some people changed their tyres only to find out that the original ones are quieter.

I don't drive fast with it... I whack corners with it coz I'm the person who hates unnecessary braking and accelerating... My Alza came with noisy and hard Silverstone Synergy M5 tires, skidded a few times and braking easily triggers ABS.

Less than a year later I decided to change all 4 donuts, at that time PS3 were just worth 10 bucks more a piece compared to XM2, so I opted PS3 instead and never regretted that decision... No ABS kicked in ever since, it really gives me the braking power I needed, knowing that Alza has lousy brakes. Few months back I ran into a sandy corner, lost grip for a second and fortunately rolled back onto newly tarred road, immediately feeling the grip as if ESP kicked in just inches from a kerb.

I still have a quieter XM2 on my sister's MyVi and just few days ago, that set of XM2s skidded when I put in harder than usual acceleration (and for some odd reason her car seems to be a little more torquey than other MyVis)...

XM2 has the size for Jazz stock rims but...

grip, noise, price... choose 2...

the GT3 is a compromise or would i say a balanced of all 3 criteria... so, can't complain much in that respect...

well... it is good to understand the tires limits and drive within it... driving like that on a known clear piece of road is ok... but trying to roll into a corner faster than normal not knowing what is hidden from view is just plain crazy jus for the sake of saving petrol... tires, ABS, and ESP can save you once or twice but not forever... there are many ways to save petrol, fast in fast out is never a sane way of achieving it when a crash is going to cost you more than what you save over a long period of time....

anyways, which dictionary on earth does not classify whacking corners as driving fast?

jazz stock tires is 175/65/r15 wor...

You guys noticed the highlighted section... CKD quality I presumed...

This picture courtesy of www.wemotor.com was taken during the Jazz CKD launch...

Your cars have that...?


Sorry for having a pair of sharp eyes, can't help it...

you might also want to start niggling on the fact that the upper glove compartment is not very flush with the dashboard after closing... some gaps between the dashboard...

this is no Lexus... for 20k less than a thai CBU unit it's what you might come to expect a little of this kind of things... it's no deal killer...

nope.

true

i heard some Jazz user, CBU unit is more beter. is that true ?

maybe, maybe not... no choice now anyways... if you buy 2nd hand, maybe end up the same problem as a CKD car....

yeahhh..its seem like 50/50 right now

Its not bad la... other than spec difference... the other things can be ignored for that amount of reduction...

if it was that batch where there was grade v and s that time... there really was so much more options that come with the car... but it costed 100k back then even with thai cbu...

as for build quality...have driven jazz hybrid full japan import before...bout 3yo by now belonging to my family and maybe the build quality is jus tat slightly better... jus maybe... or maybe its a mental thing...

Nope for me as well. I think it only happens in 1 in a million models?

Who knows but let's face it, nothing is perfect!

Even if you buy a bmw or merc, there will be bound to have a few minor imperfection.

hi guys,jazz user here..love mine.
