All tyres shops always follow same KPAs on all sides for their convenience and lots of older vehicles are balanced on the front and rear (2006 Civic FD for eg).

However if you noticed, most of the newer cars are not balance in front and rear anymore, the front heavier engine simply require more pressures than the rear to create a balanced pressure. The heavier the front, the higher the pressure differences between the front and rear.

So I would suggest to follow car manufacturer tyre pressure specs. Eg. if front is 220, rear 210, I usually pump 230 front and rear 220, following the difference between the front and rear. It will further reduce the wear in front tyres (front will always wear out faster than rear) vs tyre shop balanced pressures that worked against the car manufacturer recommendation. It is ok to have balance pressure, just the front will wear out even faster than it was supposed to.

wife SUV I put 240-250kpa, for me the best for SUV tyres, at least for me. better FC with this tyre pressure, and considering the tyre thickness is 55, so it can still absorb the road comfortably. On my whatapps group, got owner die2 put 200kpa max, when after sometimes, the pressure drop below 200 (usually 190kpa), the TPMS will put red sign hence keep asking why the prob is

Hmm ok interesting, thanks for your insight. I'll adjust next time I pump and see if it makes a difference. Currently all 240 kPa works well for me, very comfy ride.

For me I always front +10 and rear follow the sticker

kon lan firm easily scratch one. after 6 months of ownership, i also immuned liao. so difficult to take care of. Especially the exterior. fyi..honda my did a lousy paint job on all their cars sold in my. It's only a very thin layer of paint.

Same feedback after own Honda Car made in Melaka 10-11 years ago. Ask body paint shop, they verified yes, very thin layer of paint using the reader in micron. Not sure cut cost or this for environment technology for factory painting.

Inb4 Conti brand has thicker paint layer than HM car

Oh my.

Cut cost lar..not only in Malaysia. Even in Canada last time they do paint depth test on CRV. Thin paint.

i talk with honda bodywork last time. the supervisor say consumer is complaining why the paint for honda car not like mercedes, volvo. very thin. kena batu sikit sudah scratch

the justification was..look at price la. honda price is not as much as mercedes or volvo

in my mind..so the 50K - 100k price difference is because of paint la..

cut cost or environmental regulation, need to check. If environmental concerns are a priority, Water-based paints are now commonly used instead of solvent-based ones. But being HM, I believe the cost reason

ckd paints

how much per donut? for the default size i mean (18" 235/60 103H) ?

perfect quiet tyre for SUV?

yeah . my previous three pointed star had at least three layers of protective paints. Honda just kena a tiny stone can see the metal surface liao. sux man!

I changed on day one so basically traded in factory Toyo all new, and only topped up 250 per tire to change all. Yes, it’s the perfect tire for our car, no questions about it if you can afford.

i quite like the toyo in handling! noisy tyre means good handling! lol

Haha....Eco tyres especially the noisy ones are hard compound with hard sidewall. The harder the tyres, the lesser the grips for those.

Of course it can also means the air going thru the thread and forced out thus noisy tyres = good handling? Also valid...BUT...many good handling tyres employed softer compound and thread with soft sidewall to reduce the noise.

So noisy tyre unfortunately does not equate good handling....the eco cheapo tyres with very hard compound are especially noisy ESPECIALLY when they aged and harden further. Super noisy and no grip at all....

Actually even City eHev also using Toyo....eHev mah, so drive very non aggressive, like old man to maximize efficiency. Actually without aggressive driving, Toyo ok wor. Cheaper some more.

just have the opportunity to change to UX7. overall better than stock. feels more comfort mainly on harsh road and when passing speed breaker. road noise is lower (based on my hearing). however it doesnt meet my expectation on the term "quiet tyre".

Anyone got their high-pressure fuel pump inspected or replaced yet? I just made an appointment in August for my usual servicing, and requested that they also do the recall checks together.

I was surprised when the staff said likely no need to leave overnight because they're just checking and not replacing... but according to Paul Tan website (can't link, sorry) Honda Malaysia is recalling our cars to change the high-pressure fuel pumps as a precautionary measure. So which one is it?

I am fine with noisy tires! used to have mc 7 and ps4.As long as handling is decent.

You bought the wrong car for handling... lol why would you prioritize handling in a big family SUV, and not even the sporty kind like CX-5/CX-30?
