Look at that. Pure man driving manual

been using XM1 n now using XM2. the sidewall tend to become 'gemuk' like insuffice air only after few months installed.
enibodi observe dis? Isit normal?

grip quite good, even in wet road/rain.
but i feel tarmac noise quite high...need find Mahihi for dat 😝

Discovered a 'secret' in reduce NVH of Saga.

I installed 4 spring buffers last Saturday. Immediately my car low frequency road roar -50% when ride on those worn tarmac road, heard by my ear, and can feel from my steering feedback, those micro vibration of the steering wheel just gone.

This answered my own speculation that Saga bad NVH is mainly contributed by suspension. The suspension can't absorb those tiny particles on the worn tarmac road, the micro vibration when the tyre ride on those surface is transmitted to car body to become a large resonant object through spring and absorber. I'm not sure is there any bush in between suspension topmount and car body or not, but by adding rubber coil spring buffer is just effectively deadening the vibration transmitted through spring to the body, hence stop the low frequency road roar.

Just share my experience, hope it helps those who want their ride quieter.

I switch from Continental CC5 to XM2 for almost 10 months now.

XM2 is never a silent tyre, its comfort level is overrated by forumer especially in Malaysia forum.
A bit regret to change to this tyre in terms of comfort. My cousin who using XM2 also same opinion as me.

But the thread wear is very good, now almost 26k, the tyre thread still have 70%, in other words i have to bare with this noisy tyre for long long time before change it.

Oteh! Next week, 8x spling barfer will be on

i used to have spring buffers, but they get crushed so hard by the time i sold the front springs off they look damn bad lol

U wil be surprised the recent few weeks my top speed not even hit 140kph That's not it, most of the time the pointer remain below 100kph even on NS Haiwei

is a nightmare for me those buffer,installed less than 1 month,then buang,lols...with the buffer on,the car will just bounce basically everywhere...

Here

It makes no different for me the last time I used them when I'm on stock spring. The only thing I got was less sagat, and seldom hear the spring get fully compressed and emit the loud knocking sound when I go rally.

macam jonker street 88 sajer,lol

Creberboi

i oni pandai when comes to food,lol..
