hei guys, is it me oni or u all facing same prob..after i change my stock tyre nct 5 (185/55/15) to pp2 (185/55/15), i feel dat its more petrol comsuming...
i'm driving honda city vtec...previouslly always manage 2 get 500km full tank, but not like mearly can reach 450km...
Try to get the air pressure up to 34PSI... i manage to get 500km++ with full tank from my Vios...
FYI do not follow only the car manual... if you drive more than 2km from COLD start... at least you have to add another 2 PSI...
My Vios is sitting on 34~35 PSI in front... while the back around 32~33PSI...
Try it and let me know... if there is any difference...

the stiffness of the sidewall of PP2 and NCT5 is very obvious, i just sit on a honda city with NCT5 at rear and PP2 in front, PP2 have stiffer sidewall and NCT5 have a softer sidewall with a very loud noise until i can hear what others talking while driving in highway, PP2 is way better....
you can let go the air until the tyres flatten or just pump like this also can, i recommend 33psi in front and 30psi at rear, or 32 psi in front
yesterday i go one of the petronas station near my college there to pump my tyres, i set it to 227kpa (around 32 or 33psi) then when i put in it show 215kpa, then suddenly jump to 250kpa, i was kinda shocked, maybe the pump is faulty?

Again that is because your tire is HOT... try to release partial of the air in the tire...
around half if possible... I always do that... then pump 34PSI in front... try it... yes it is a bit stiff... but you can feel the difference if FC...

if compare with sound level i can say falken > goodyear
if you compare goodyear NCT5 with falken Ze912, definitely falken Ze912 is better, i havent use michelin Xm1 before, maybe they are the same

falken ze912 is more silent and perform more better than NCT5, at least when running on Ze912, i can hear other passenger conversation while driving 120km/h on highway, if NCT5, my ear drum damaged

You cannot compare a all... NCT5 is rubbish tire by GY... of course XM1 quiet... because it is a comfort tire...
I have a lot of experience where my ABS is activated when i go downhill... especially raining... no matter raining lightly or heavily...
ZE912 is in High performance category... you can try Hankook V12 also... good feedback from user at AW forum...
PP2 is Ultra High performance... it is a bit hard... noise i duno as i did not try Falken or Hankook b4...
handling is good... dry and wet traction is very good indeed... although a lot of ppl said it steering response is not up to the Ultra Performance category...

Zopu,
