Hi Redsunns,
If u interested to change ur rims and tyres to 16" and u dun want to spend so much u can try soh tyres at amk. They have in house package for 16" taiwan rims and Falken 912 or Eagle F1 tyres at $950 if i remember correctly and tu can trade in ur stock rims and tyres at abt $300 to $400. Just quote Uncle Frankie (64549071) that Joshua (latioboy91) recommend u so he will give u a better price.
Pls note that I'm just post this to help bro who dun want to spend alot to upgrade their rims to 16". I dun get any commission by increasing soh tyres sales. I upgrade my 16" at Hankook Toh Guan with the play G rims and V8 tyres at $1180 (Can ask Carmodz if ur doubt the price) and i can it during the MM 2008.
-
i first timer also... where is poh heng? lol. in UBI? nice choice of rims?
I will recommend soh tyre instead of poh heng. The 2 tyre shop just opposite each other. Ask Latioboy91 and he will tell u y soh tyres is better.... They have alot of rims u can view...
Note that Soh Tyre is Located at :
Blk 4001 Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 1
#01-03 S(569622)
Tel:64549071

rim brand not that important to some as some would like to have Advanti or Kyowa Racing Rims as they are the more popular rims brand. for me i go for tyres and i would recommend u hankook v8rs tyres. u will love it from the point u drive out. R u looking for installment for ur rims n tyres?? if yes then u can go to hankook at toh guan to change to the play G rims (6.71kg) and v8rs tyres with nitrogen gas.
Bro, can i ask whats the colour of ur ride? where u stay? Cos the play G have 2 colour. silver with gun metal and black with red trim.

Which mileage is consider run-in period?

Which mileage is consider run-in period?
The first 1600km or 1000 miles as stated in your manual. :D
-
hi there,
try to find a lighter than stock weight rim and it should be fine.
While size of rims does play a part in FC, but weight, driving style and driving routes does play a big part as well.
Cheers! Hav fun rim shopping!
-

tyres are the only thing in contact with the road, not the rims ;D
every brand has a range of tyres, its rather impossible to have a tyre which is super quiet, super good wet grip, F1 dry grip, super comfortable and yet super stable at corners. Hence, what is important is to search for info on the model of tyre rather than just brand alone.
:thumbsup:

Thanks Jazz, haven't collect my ride yet so have no idea. Within run-in period, speed should not exceed 80km/h? :confused1:
-

Well, I have read many articles about run in period. Focus on your RPM instead of speedometer. Many have their own views regarding this run in period thing, but most commonly people will tell you try not to exceed 2500rpm and hard braking. ;)
But I did whack up to 4000rpm unintentionally during my run in period when I try to over take.
-
guys, dont forget when u change rims and tyre sizes your car measure mileage differently... and that will result in inaccurate FC reading. u have to compensate the gain/loss in mileage
some bros here posted the site to calculate, dunno go where liao

What about those who buy test drive car?
Even worse.
Already red lined countless times from the start for at least 1,000km before it is sold at a $1,000 discount.

Just have to make sure that the leather seats are thoroughly cleaned.
The beige seats I saw in the Bt Timah branch showroom Latio had turned brown and had a slimy shine on it.
And if necessary, get Tan Chong to re-upholstery the seats as the sides of the seats tend to be flat as a result of many people getting in and out of the car.

Rims topic, not buying showroom car topic guys.

wootx. collected the car yesterday and surprised that the facelift look much better than before... even the rims became more chio le... so dun need to change to 16" liao... hahaha. $ saved... :X

Arghh... how you get your car so early? I'm still waiting for mine. SE says Tan Chong say that the PDI (whatever that is) is on 5th oct. Sigh, after that I still need to wait for LTA inspection of the OPC plate. I also bought the same car and color as you. :(

Hi Jazz,
Like that huh...
NSman did tell me Hankook V2 is good also. But i only know GR80 is good. Haha. Too many brains, so I just simply take.
But I don't know we need to ask and check for the year made for the tyres. Haha...

Hello iagree,
Actually I also din bother about the year made also. To me if the tyres is properly sealed and storage, dun see much of a problem, same like digitals, ICs etc.
-
Unless the tyres are stored in a termperature and humidity controlled environment, they will deteriorate over time even if properly sealed.
It is like driving a time bomb if your "New" tyres are actually old tyres that have been sitting in the warehouse for some time.

Hi Jazz

Hi clarence buddy,
I don't think GR80 will be so low in sales vol until they hv to stock up for ages to sell it off?
I think shld be ok kua... no fear?

Hi Jazz/iagree, AGREED with clarence, hv been informed that the tyre after certain time (not sure how long lah..), the quality will deteriorate, eg. the rubber will become too hard and not advisable for long distance travel...

Ya, read the news around 3 months ago that a Mitsubishi EX just came out from service, 1 of his tyre just dropped off.

Morning LatioR,
I have read that the rubber will hardened if exposed to UV, heat and water, usually this apply to used tyres. But for brand new that are properly sealed can last for quite some time but nobody dare to commit the lifespan.
You can still drive with your stock toyo tyre for more than 3 yrs for 47,000km already, so dun tell me if the same manufactured date that is sealed cannot be use ? Logic ? Maybe the tyre shop will sell at a discount for long storage for new tyres ? And I have not heard of expiry date for tyres.
Anyway it a good practice to check your tyres regularly. ;)
-

So the moral of the story...dun buy Mitsubishi Ex...buy Latio!!!:yehyeh: :yehyeh: :yehyeh:

There is actually a greater possibility for new tyres in storage to deteriorate faster as the rubber is not "flexed", ie. not being rotated, as fitted on a car and being driven.
Even your pencil eraser will harden if not used over a prolonged period.
That is also how a new tyre fitted to a car can get flat spot if the owner travels overseas frequently, seldom uses his car and the parked car's tyres are left to carry the weight of the car on just one spot.
Unless the sealed tyres are stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment, there is a even higher possibility of mid dew and mould and fungus building up on the tyres, beneath the warmth of the wrappers.

Hi,
You are telling us a brand new tyre will "deteriorate" faster than a used tyre ?
Your eraser analogy is based on new or used, if used I agreed to a certain extend but if new sealed with plastic under room temperature then I dare to challenge you with my >20 yrs old Stabilo rubber with me, the elasticity is still strong.
Do you know exactly what is a flat spot ? Pls refer to this http://www.bikewebsite.com/bikeof.htm (http://www.bikewebsite.com/bikeof.htm). So pls do us a favour, you will not happy if I tell you BS or mis-leading info again, you know where you stand. Peace.

Hi jazz, for me, I don't have any fact of how long the tyre quality will deteriorate but ever change my spare tyre of age > 14yrs (i guessed) which is never been used before as it's still look brand new. Once you look at the tyre, the colour look very funny (eg..look like very shining with really dark black which doesn't look like normal tyre and really you can feel that it's have became harden). Again, been advise by my cousin in law who owned the tyre shop is Malaysia, it's not advisable for long distance travel, even though talking abt >30km and that why after replacing the worn out tyre (with minimum thread left), i changed the spare tyre with the used tyre which at least still can allow me to travel for 100 ~200km (i guess)... :D

Hi LatioR,
You bought a second hand car which is 14 yrs old or you really owned a car for 14 yrs ? :ohmy:
I have searched the web and found no one dare to commit or estimate the lifespan of a tyre. I agree on your spare tyre explanation coz the tyre is not sealed and is exposed to heat therefore it will definitely harden. But how many of us will bother to change our spare tyre ? :smile:
-

Hi Jazz, no lah, i bought the used car, toyota corolla 1.6M (abt ~2.5yrs ago) which is still look good and do not wish to pay installment for too long (=> used car is better option then). The FC for a start still can hit ~11km/l but at the time I sold it, the FC is abt 8.5km/l liao and decided to change to Latio (instead of Altis) and in turn, can save me abt $150 ~ $200/mth or $1.8k to $2k per annual.. :yehyeh:
-
LatioR,
How you put a 185/65/15 tyre in the spare tyre compartment? I wanted to do that last time (the tyre shop offer to sell me a lonely 15inch sport rim for spare tire @$50) but it does not fit well, the depth of the compartment is not enough.
There are occation I have to drive on long malaysian small road at night, I will be the type of person who bother to change the spare tyre to normal size, Spare tire can not make it on those road.
-
Hi ying, sorry to dissaponited u as the spare tyre is refer to my old car spare tyre not the latio lah :smile: Not sure how to do
the same to latio :out:

My Latio spare tyre is also 185/65R15 on those black steel rims. As long as you sports rims is of a similar size, it shoudl fit in the spare tyre compartment. It should not bulge out as the width is the same as stock tyre at 185.
-
Thanks Clarence for the clarification, should do the same when plan to change 2 of the 4 stock tyres early next year. Thanks. :thumbsup:
-
just bear to check if the spare tyre compartments of the first few batches of Latio are shallower than those of the later batches
-

I think so, mine is early batch. me and the tire shop owner had try to fit in a 185/65/15 but really can't and the spare tyre is smaller than stock tire.

I don't think your Stabilo eraser has to bear the weight of a 1.2 tonne vehicle. :glare:
A sealed tyre even when placed at room temperature in the warehouse is subject to the punishing moisture from the surroundings and high temperatures. The "sealed" wrapper is not air tight.
If you don't believe, you go and try to buy those on "Sale" and "new" sealed tyres that have been sealed and kept in the warehouse at room temperature for a few years, and install them in your Latio.
Then maybe you can come back and tell us if you are still alive after using those "New and Sealed Tyres." :D
And please don't ask me if this is hear say or if I've tried it. I'm waiting for you to be the guinea pig. :bleh:
-
A sealed tyre even when placed at room temperature in the warehouse is subject to the punishing moisture from the surroundings and high temperatures. The "sealed" wrapper is not air tight.
I'm more in favour of bro clarence. Given the hot climate and humidity, even for the so called 'sealed' tyres will not last forever. Moreover the permeability of the oxygen will penetrate into the 'wrapper' of the tyre and cause gradually deterioration of the rubber. Of course if in cold climate, the condition would have been better, meaning longer shelf life. This is a fact ! Oxygen, light and moisture are some of the worst 'enemies' for a stable product.
Peace ! Just share what our belief. It may be different school of thoughts :smile:

I not sure what do you mean by eraser bear the weight of 1.2 tonne vehicle, maybe a moron will understand you since you started this pencil eraser assumption.
Are you working in a tyre company or still schooling ? How do you know it not properly sealed and not tight ?
As I mentioned, pls do not be insinuating and be a smart alec generate groundless facts like flatspot etc.
If you buy for me, I will dare to be your guinea pig, do you dare to take this challenge ?

Of course if in cold climate, the condition would have been better, meaning longer shelf life. This is a fact ! Oxygen, light and moisture are some of the worst 'enemies' for a stable product.
Peace ! Just share what our belief. It may be different school of thoughts :smile:
Helli vortex,
Just 1 point to share, do you think distributors or retailers will want to lose money for those not sellable tyres ? There are always ways and means to recover or recycle all these unuse tyres if they do not have proper storage place. Secondly they are able to export to those 3rd world country, that what I know of.

I not sure what do you mean by eraser bear the weight of 1.2 tonne vehicle, maybe a moron will understand you since you started this pencil eraser assumption.
Are you working in a tyre company or still schooling ? How do you know it not properly sealed and not tight ?
As I mentioned, pls do not be insinuating and be a smart alec generate groundless facts like flatspot etc.
If you buy for me, I will dare to be your guinea pig, do you dare to take this challenge ?

Of course the distributors will not lose money to keep the unsellable tyres, hence they will push for products that are close to expiry dates. I saw someway in the website that we should not buy tyres that are around 4 years old.
Hence old types do have quality issue even they are properly sealed. :smile:
Think they are misunderstanding between you and clarence. Sometimes exchange of words can be quite hot, even thought they do not meant to be nasty. Let's put everthing behind to make this forum a better place to share ideas and comments. :smile:

Hello vortex,
This is my last reply to this thread. I have some knowledge and info how the tyres are being disposed and recycle. But I won't force you to believe. In SG if you are able to find a >4 yrs old new tyres, you will kena Big Sweep. :smile:
I have a colleague who are quite a low mileage user, clocked slightly less than 30,000km for going 5 years of usage before upgrading his car. When we get to know of it, we simply ask why he did not change his tyres, he simply shrugged his shoulder and say still in good condition. So my message is simple, is a sealed and in controlled storage environment tyres worst than a used which exposed to heat, water, dirt and humidity tyre ? I not trying to prove I right but wanna lay the logic behind. As for this clarence, let you slowly learn about him. ;)
Peace.
