SV mia. Alloy steel rims.

change every 20k lo

With that budget, use back the NCT 5 tyres (sv using NCT 5?)

If budget constraint, IMO, the original stock alloy rim already looks ok and its heavy duty to boot. I myself did not change rim nor tyres. If want to change better tyres, RM180 is only enuf to but the stock NCT5.

i changed to falken ziex-912 earlier last year..only 180 for thailand made, and 160 for Indonesian made... due to budget constraint i chose the thailand made, so far so good..to me it's good lah..... kedai papan klang.

Due to budget constrain u chosen the slightly higher price one...

Ya lor, I also got budget constraint, so instead of planning to get new Civic, I got no choice but to get an audi,,,,

due to budget constrain...i dun plan to sell my persona and already got an extra paus...

i regret change to falken 912, sidewall too soft, softest of all tyres i used before, cornering does not feel good, need to slow down alot. previously on sime tyre can corner better than 912...

wtf la..haha
due to budget constrain, i chose the better one..coz my budget also around 180..lol.. indonesion made and thailand made got diff in thread.. looks better on thailand made, so i chose thailand one lah..since it's fit my budget constraint perfectly..haha

paus? new vios?
colleague's new vios last month push start doesn't work after outside car wash, push button no effect, end-up have to tow. but having hard time to tow coz steering wheel completely locked!

i wonder why push start dun have any alternative method for emergency purpose?

912 got indonesian made? i tot indonesian made is falken ziex 522, which have most negative feedbacks for falken tyre i've seen.

You have to understand his double talk. He is full of debt but still can take out cash to spend.

i think quite true, but it feels a lot better than stock one(kruizer)..been using it for a year though.. with these tyre i didnt feel planted feeling when driving high speed cornering..


with new suspension, it feels lot better.. feel planted..very grippy..

i think got, i didnt remember though, but if i;m not mistaken, they showed me two types of falken ziex-912.. indonesion made and thailand made, both got different thread, and different price.

i also went to kedai papan klang when changing 912, they also told me falken got indonesian made and thailand made, and told me thailand is better.

but i saw they carry alot of 322 and 522, which are from indonesia, so i think indonesian made are referring to 322 and 522. persona's 195/60/R15 should be referring to 322 as 522 don't have this size.

Actually I quite like NCT5 although I bashed them as well. Before 50% worn, NCT5 perform quite well for avg driver. Grip quite ok in both wet and dry until the sipes hilang at 50%.

Been using NCT5 that come stock with City, Civic and now PE till worn out and change to other brand. Quite tahan lasak (being a hard compound tyre). So have many many years experience using NCT5.

Only after reaching 50% tread, the performance and grip turned DRASTICALLY downwards. That's when I bashed them hard.

wah, NCT 5 super noisy leh.
and gripping was bad (equivalent to no bunga feel when rain) after 50% worn out.

This one is true but the grip is not that bad lah. Provided you didn't exceed speed limit.

hmm..not sure..haha..coz that time i think i saw falken ziex-912..got two types..haha..maybe got it wrong..

That's why I say after 50%, tyre can throw away but b4 hitting 50%, (it takes quite a while to reach that level), its actually ok for avg driver. Perform way better than all those cheapo tyres (do note, its still listed as high performance tyres). Now I guna stock NCT5, 40%, still ok as long as I don't do hard cornering and high speed zig zag in wet.

Try first Michelin PP2 (tak da lagi), PS3 when 70%, V12 80%, then you tell me NCT5 noisy. Albeit all of the those tyres performed way better in wet and dry. Still they were all as noisy if not more.
