Bro, u bought the latest gen of vios?




hmmm anyone can suggest me good tyre brand for my budget range, let say budget >rm200/tyre. size 205/45/16.

for now im using falken.

Last week when traveling using LPT, my car became unstable when reaching 100kmh and up (i top at 180kmh), so i went to sc the next day, he said my tyre isnt in good shape already, the thread are uneven, but not sure how true is this, cuz i see my tyre look fine, but im not so sure..

yes.. the latest Vios.

for budget tyre, u can try Nexen N8000 or Marshalls. Good grip and price.

Hi, just a question. The new vios 2013 have sound indication when lock or unlock door remotely?

Nope. Probably the lock mechanism sound.

Malaysian Car Buyer's Mentality

1 - Don't buy 2 doors car.... No 2nd hand value
2 - Don't buy Continental cars - No 2nd hand value, expensive spare parts
3 - Don't buy Korean cars - No 2nd hand value
4 - Buy Honda or Toyota - Best 2nd hand value, reliable....

That's why... It's also thanks go our Gomen policy that keeps protecting the national cars.

japs have their up side also 1 la...
i have a rich ass fren his house used to only buy toyota and lexus past decade, and this few years starting switch to conti car, mers, bmw, audi, wv, left his parents still stick to lexus...
according to him, all 100% conti car in his house have problems, or weird noise, all their SC blames everything on M'sia weahter, it's either unsolvable or only keep changing parts while still under warranty...
both his parents's lexus haven encountered any problem yet.

this is true especially for vw, our weather seems to be very challenging for conti cars

Agree,they blame weather this and that

But compare jap car,if encounter problem...they recall everyone go back to check

This is the reason why malaysian choose jap car

My friend passat two years only facing two times gearbox problem

Bro ,use 205/50/r16

I using it now,feel more stable at highway and cornering

I use michellin pilot sport 3 Rm 460++

do we have keyless entry ?? can i install to my vios 2006??

but i still feel weird, aren't japan have 4 season too,
and even our proton test their global small car GSC in snow condition, didn't these big players test their car at hot weather?

oic.. so 205/50/16 profile give more comfort and stability ya?

how about neuton brand? u know about the price?

maybe CBU assembly the car cannot get used to the hot weather like CKD when it shipped to our country the temperature changed and the metal start to expand and so on

and also the hot weather in europe is not really that hot compare to asia and SEA region

other than this i also cant think of any reason, it seems like not everyone got this kind of issue

Yes

Neuton never heard,but dont play with cheap tyre..the comfort and stability noise will effected your ride

I believe jap car R & D in asia country for the hot weather 1st

Like toyota vios,they can do in thailand/malaysia

Saudi Arabia lg hot weather compare to msia but lot of toyota cars there...

so... I've did some other test with the vios. Everything original. The handling of the car was somehow disappointing. felt like the car will lose control when slipping through traffic with the speed of around 100-120kmh. (yes I admit I'm an ******* for driving this fast on heavy traffic)

Anyway, any solution to increase the car's handling?
Roll bar, strut bar or something else?

Kindly advise.

Bigger and Wider Rim is most practical but it will also burden your car....u can't get balance unless yours is big CC (then FC will become another issue)

Im agree with u bro.. Btw,u cant aspect more as it's just an oem setting car.. What u paid what u got.. My J-spec currently on 17" lenso wrapped with 205/45/17 achilles atr sport.. Some of u maybe will ask/say ;

1) this tyre made from where? I never hear before.
2) this tyre is cheap, it can give u a good handling/grip?
3) u can afford 17", y dont u get a little bit better tyre like those branded tyre falken/yokohama/bridgestone??
4) adjustable or bars will give u a bumpy ride.. Uncomfortable ride..

I honestly reply u all here,my car handling improved after i got bigger shoes.. But still it dissappointed me.. If comparing to My previous myvi manual which on hilo-softhard adjustable, full Ultra Racing bars.. 17" low profile tyres.. I can tell u, my current vios handling jz like shittt!!!
Harden suspension setup n chasis tuning.. Sure will sacrifice ur comfort level.. U cant own comfort n performance both at once..

My myvi can easily whacked corner from 110-120kmh.. If u dare to go,u can even press harder.. But vios OMG,will it skip of out my lane?!(everytime i drove fast or whacking corner)

Tyre question: i used various type of branded tyre on my previous myvi like;
yokohama r1,s drive
Falken 522,912
Bridgestone my-02
Nexen 8000
Achilles atr sport

I can tell u,dont think tat only those exp branded tyre can give u better grip/performance/handling/long lasting..

Y im using achilles tat only rm200/piece now in my new vios? It's really a damn dirt cheap tyre, but it give me better result comparing to those tyres brand i mention above.. Falken912 rm300-330/piece, i dont think this tyre can beat achilles.. Falken exp,more noisy,side wall soft n etc.. Yokohama r1 famous tat gt better grip in wet condition road,i feel my achilles more better than it.. S-drive? Nexen 800? I wana ask u,how much u pay for 1pc of both tat brand? Achilles wont dissappoint u much if compare with it.. My-02/522,give me a crap.. Both f***ing tyre will kill u in rainy day if u speed up.. And i will continue using achilles as it's reasonable/cheap price tyre but the result wont let u down
Dont misunderstand, dont drive like a michael schumacher,typical racer or drifter.. If u aren't those proffessional driver tat got proffessional skill,what kind of tyre also will kill u.. Dont ask me,if they drive they wont get kill?! Think it urself

Im not here to promote anything, not to defend anything, not to condemn anything..
Im jz want to shared my little experienced here.. Hope can help u guys out..
FYI,cheap brand doesnt mean rubbish.. Exp brand,can u ans me tat it's sure a good investment?..
Drive safe drive smart

Happy Motoring everyone.....
