Biasa saja, nowadays already considered slow car. I'm also already a bit bored by it!

Fuh...bangsawan man...so whats ur next target? Btw, mark x maintenance wise how? Like conti car?

Bangsawan drive Ferrari & Bentley la, mana ada only drive Mark X?! Next target, either Lancer Evo 8MR/9 or AMG A45 if got money which unfortunately still not!
Maintenance of Mark X is easy coz very reliable and not expensive, certainly way cheaper than European cars.

Zaman apa still Evo kah? Tot they stop at version 10 right? Mcm no more progress liao. A45 is gooding mang.. love it everyway it looks.

Evo 8MR-9 were years 2003-2006, old cars but still a blast to drive and can easily rival today's modern cars' performance. I don't like most of new cars today, coz got too many electronics which complicate things. I like simpler cars but fun. There's a saying old is gold and to me these cars are. A45 IMHO is like a modern version of Evo.

Hope i got that day to enjoy those car.

Same thing as my Conti CSC5......

Heyya guys. Just need to ask noob question here. Is it okay to use different ratio tyres from what I'm currently using ? For example. Currently I'm on 235/45R17 but this ratio has very limited choices in the market but 225/45R17 can find lots of choices from diff makers. Is it advisable to use diff ratio then what is the default in use ?

2 tyres of the same size on one axle, is ok especially on non-AWD.
Smaller diameter on drive axle, actual gps speed is lower than OEM's meter, no issue anyway.

How about from a 245 to 225? Is this drastic?

Can still use just that not ideal. 225/45/is about 6mm thinner sidewall height than 235/45 profile which means:
1. Your actual meters (speed and distance) will be less than indicated on the dash (speedo/odometer are overstated).
2. Your ride comfort will be reduced as you will feel more of the road irregularities from less cushioning of the thinner tires.
3. Less traction as the tire is narrower by 1 cm.
4. Car height drops by 6mm and fender gaps increased by the same hence will look uglier.

On the plus side though, your FC and pick up might improve just a bit, and of course the tires should be cheaper.

You'd sacrifice a lot more in traction. Still possible as long as your rims is not wider than 8.5jj but not recommended. If your rims is 9jj already then you cannot use 225 anymore but should stay with 245.

Thank you for your insights!

Thanks sifu....

Hii, I am looking for tyres 225/45/18 (price within RM300 to 400). Any recommendations? Currently considering :
1) Falken ZE914 Ecorun
2) Dunlop D05
3) GT Radial HPY
4) GT Radial GTX PRO

Which do you think will be the best choice among the top? Or any other recommendations? I see good reviews on Falken in tyrereviewuk.. but it seems like having mix good and bad reviews locally.. ???

Thanks

Forget about all those! Get the Hankook V12 Evo 2, definitely way much better than any of those above! Price should be below rm350/pc as example below:

maybe too busy ..

Thanks... Will definitely check out V12 Evo 2... I wonder why Falken have such good reviews in Tyrereview UK.. but i also see some bad reviews on Falken in Forum from Msia and Spore.. Wonder if it is different tyres in different region although same tyre model.. Now that you mentioned, I think V12 Evo 2 have good review in Tyrereview UK and a more consistent good review in forum from Msia and Spore as well... Thanks..
