i goin for a stability in cornering. but at the same time concernin abt FC. so frm tis 2 part realli gt some headache in makin a decision.. corner need thick side wall, noise will be more if side wall thick, unless the threads pattern are well design to minimize noise. comfort might not be there if hard wall cant absorb much shock on humps or potholes on road.

15inch looks sporty. 14inch is in the middle of 13 and 15inch, donut+abit sporty. I love the donut-like tyre wif small sport rim. I would prefer 14 or 13inch sport rim.

mj23pica, sorry just check that range you just mentioned is based on one rim + tyre only or... 4?? 4 tyre + 4 rims.

i always send my friends to my area after lessons and charge them $2 per person... 4 friends mean $8 already Wah,.tat is a good idea..it is part of car pool method..u can save some money on petrol n they can save time on waiting for buses. Dont care is it embarrass to let other take ur car..if they can afford ask them to get their own car..haha wow, the most 3 pax ok liao. I carpool 1 biz woman, her fee to me everyday can feed me 3 meals. So lesser times i going to ATM n press $$ compare to last time b4 carpool. Good for sharing the car cost with me.

pump 210 enof for 13inch stock tyres. Maybe your stock tyre sidewall is medium hard. mayb u can tell what brand and model of your tyre C&C gave u.
Kumho 758 is ok(stock last time) at 210kpa as sidewall is thin so can absorb shock. i think 210kpa will give you comfort n less shock. Im sure it will improve.

I once went on a cab with its GPS suggesting the driver to exit at EVERY exit on the PIE... and I kinda find it silly. Is it me or is it just comfortdelgro... its not u, its the GPS which kills the cabby's pride. haha, he will deny here or there no good. GPS helps smtimes, but not always. agreed tat GPS is good for pple travelling around everyday/often to different or unknown places and do not know the roads well.

I refer Sunday Life on Straits Times, Now then I know CNG is so troublesome. Pump cng still need to wait for cool down, scared lightning, takes 10mins to fill up the tank. The article really put CNG cars in disadvantage plus $1.73 per kilo(Expensive than JB $1.2 petrol. No wonder pple are giving up CNG. I think CNG is not so good and useful, the effort put in to change is abit unjustify. My Views only.

i just changed to 195/55/r15 wheels and rims recently and my pickup and FC has suffered terribly even when i do not rev high. pickup is much much slower now with more traction on the road. it takes more time and high rev (close to 3) just to hit 60 on the 2nd-3rd gear. (i'm on auto) FC: needless to say, suffered a lot. used 1/3 tank last weekend and clocked only 130km. How can i improve my FC without changing my wheels? I think you must change, highly recommended must change. Your Tyre too big liao. Change to 195/45R15. Or else your car engine will gone earlier. You are stressing ur engine during driving off. Trust me. Get your tyres changed to size 195/45R15 else your car engine will be gone in no time.
