Don't buy the Michelin Energy tires.. Heard the sidewall not very good.. easy burst/rupture when you accidentally strike herb..

Where you all usually go to change tyres? I like the Poh Heng at AMK Ind Park 1.. Quite reasonably priced.

hahah... all my previous rides never reach 'tires changing' stage.... all rides changed before needing to change tires... Only my dumbo (aka Carens2.0), changed at year 3 before inspection... that time i simply changed at Comfort Delgro... Will prob visit Poh Heng if they have Kumho KU31 for my size...

are there bad feedbacks on tires with 'low rolling resistance'? Rondo_SX, what is the tyre brand and model you are using now ? Is it meant for LOW ROLLING RESISTANCE ?

No bad feedback lah, just that Rondo_SX has been consistently achieved low FC = high mileage per litre of fuel, that's why I am asking if his tyres somehow play an important role. If he is using a type with LOW ROLLING RESISTANCE, then maybe very true tyre also helps besides driving habit.

i believe to a certain extend, tires does affect FC... If the tires are 'sticky' & needs more 'push' to roll... Then more fuel will be consumed... Like wise, vise versa....

Low rolling resistance (LRR) tyre does help improve FC. XM1 was ighly recommended to me by a Carens buddy, went to 50,000km and remain consistent. I used it for about 3000km, it is very comfortable (meaning its side wall is flexy) even when pumped close to max pressure and it did improve my FC by about 10%. There is a trade-off with LRR tyre, usually outright grip in wet and dry. Having been on the KU31, I'll much prefer it over the XM1. A friend bought KU31 in 195/55R15 at AL Tyre last weekend, maybe check with them for your size.

Just to add on a little bit more. Its not that the XM1 is bad in any way or that the KU31 is superior in all ways, there are different operating parameters that both excel in. With the XM1, the engine was having less of a load driving the it, rpm moves that little bit easier, on the move, the car glides along effortlessly - lower resistance at work here. The KU31 has none of these attributes but I find it handles better that suits my preferences, but wear is not great, at 25000km its "magic" just about begin to dissappear - wet grip level starts getting lower, noise gets higher, still useable just don't drive it like its new. It is a personal thing though.

U see which one you like best lor... hmm...thinking shd get Federal Evo 959 or Kumho KU31...... price between KU31 & EVO595 no much diff, i prefer u go for KU31 and make sure they sell u Korean Made KU31 not Made In Vietnam. The stickers on the tires tells country of origin, especially the stickers with orange prints made in korea. Is ok to pay alittle more for safety.........
