QUOTE(a_dot_el @ Nov 24 2014, 10:15 PM) You are using Impul 16" ?? How is the ride quality? Stock suspension or Impul suspension? Ride is stiff, but whack 140 still ok, minor steering shake, car still steady. 150 car goyang. Impul suspension and absorber. Must say it's not as comfortable as stock. You can feel every single bump/thing on the road

I have tried Shell on my almari, and it gives very very bad FC, like his about 3xxkm. Never touch 400km at all!!!  WELCOME TO MY CLUB AHAHAHAHA

Hi,
Currently driving Almera E spec.
Plan to change tyres soon, currently using stock tyres Conti comfort contact cc5.
1) Should I change back to stock tyres? How much would it be per tyre? I am satisfied with the stock tyres but feel that can be more stable if get a bigger width tyres (195/60?)
2) If not, any recommendations of any other tyres? My main concern will be the cost as will be changing all 4 tyres at once. Hopefully around rm200 max per tyre. Wider and more stable tyres will be a plus point.
Thanks!

But some times, the sheer quietness of our cabin makes me happy.. Hahahaha. My cc5 front tire getting botak, so fast. Only 36,000kms.. And its time to rotate already. Continental so lousy?

The car is not as quite as the first day. It is just 3 weeks old. Running into pot holes create knocking sound  ..

It is wobbly. Not sure if it does cause any sound. I removed my exhust tip cz it vibrates at certain rpm, very annoying.

Just change my 2nd bearing (interval-ly to avoid tedious process of awaiting approval), came back with another unidentified sound.
Plus I need to wait approximately 2 weeks for HQ to approve of fixing the problem of black oil leakage. T.T
Super sad wei, barely a month and already need to standby for my 5th visit to sc.
