Will the more quiet tyres be at the expense of better traction with noisy tyres?

Thinking of trying the M tyres.

Some tyres are quiet and has good grip. Some tyres are noisy but have poor grip. Noisy tyres does not inheritably have good grip. So be wise in making your choice.

Going for Michelin PS3?

Yeah it should be good. I am slightly regretting P3ST purchase, which is too soft till it affects handling.

Hello!

I took delivery of Preve Manual 3 weeks ago. Everything is fine so far except for the Reverse gear which is giving me problem some of the time.

Some times when I put into "R" and while releasing the clutch there will be a loud grinding sound coming from the gearbox and the car doesn't move. It's like the cogs did not couple. Need to engage again.

I've been to an authorised service centre but the senior mechanic says since this is a new car need to "double clutch" before putting the stick into "R". Then only the gear can properly couple. I told him it does not make sense at all.

Feel heartache every time grinding sound is heard.

Anyone has this problem. Feedback will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Reverse gear does not have synchro. You have to fully stop your car before engaging into reverse otherwise you double clutch.

The grinding sound already appear in the morning when I want to reverse out from my house. That is when the car is stationary, no?

Then it is an issue. Go another SC to check

My turbo inlet is sparkling clean, with the help of oil catch tank. How can there be new oil deposit if the breather hose has been unplugged?

Hi everyone! I want to sell my Preve stock tyres (205/55R16 GT Radial Champiro BAX2). I will collect my car in 2 weeks time and wanna change tyre straight. Anyone interested please offer me. Area:Kinrara Puchong, or PJ Taman Mayang.

Don't think much would be interested with the mediocre tyre, unless tight in budget. Just sell it to the tyre shop biggrin.gif

Come to some Preve club gatherings. There will be someone who can tell you which it is. It is near the speakers. Just a small opening that you can conveniently fit in a metal bar to pull it.
