Yesterday, changed my worn Maxxis Victra I-Pro 195/55R15 tires to Hankook Ventus Prime 3 205/50R16 tires.

Felt old, wanted to try quieter tire.

Finally the tire size fit the car body better. Proportions wise & also the tires are flushed perfectly to the side profile of the fenders

Other than changing tyres, have you done any mod to increase your car's performance?

Some of my mods (not really performance related, more of convenience):

Stainless steel braided brake hose & DOT4 TRW brake fluid (no more dead travel during braking)

Brembo OE replacement brake pads (slightly better grip, dusty af. Wanna change to other pads, next)

Heat shield wrap around the battery. Now using Camel Plus battery (30 months encounting).

Door visors

Bosch Evolution Strider horn (upgrade from pussy horn)

LED white bulbs for front lamps

70mai dashcam lite

Trapo car mat (lousy car mats. Deeply regretted getting them).

3M tints on all windows (crystalline series for front windscreen).

Sun shades for side windows & rear windscreen

Neat,
Do you by any chance have the rattling dashboard issue?

Can anyone share your preferred engine oil to use during service and the viscosity rate?
I wonder if 5w30 Fully synthetic is a good option for engine performance?

Thanks

Hi Guys

What kind of engine oil are you using?,
The manual recommends the 10-30w semi synthetic oil that comes standard when you go for service in sc
I've been using the 5w-30 Fully oil since the beginning.
Would the engine response better with the thinner 10-30w oil

Thanks
