My swift sport 2006....

Yuh know how loooong I ent buy Good Year tire? Oh, wait...my spare tyre in the Jimny is ah GY.

Tyres I don't really skimp on...after all, that is the only thing that connecting the road to your vehicle eh!

I would put Toyo Proxes above all, but they too expensive for me to buy new. I also really like Dunlop rubber and then maybe I'd look at either Bridgestone or Kumho. But again, all of these are my opinion based on what I have used.

On the GTi I bought N3000 Nexxens (brand new) cuz those were the only thing available in the size I needed (the elusive 195/45/15)....and got them in a ZR compound too. So far, they have kept me alive.

On the Jimny I recently bought new Dunlop SP601's...225/70/15. Really nice in the dry...will see how they work in the wet when rainy season starts.

On the GT4 I have Toyo Proxes T1S... 215/40/16..f/used. If I can afford them I would try for the T1R's next, on a 225/45/16 size if not 215/45/16.

f/used the toyos cost me $300 a piece, but that was about 3 years ago...haven't bought a f/used tyre since.

Did you just blow it our or did you replace it? I'm thinking I need to do that on mine. The baleno I have doesn't even have a filter, the evaporator got all clogged with gunk and I had to clean it out.

Just cleaned it..and it works much better. Would like to replace it... Check the manual Pete ...

Blowing it out doesnt seen to nake sense when u see the colour difference between a new and used 1

must be an automatic thing, I rarely crossed 400km . . . then again my usual drive is short distances in traffic and i never drove till the car completely ran out of gas

timos976 · Postby **timos976** » August 6th, 2013, 9:14 am

question!!!!does it have any negative effects on the engine???

Big Z · Postby **Big Z** » August 6th, 2013, 11:02 am

Yup... engine does cut off without gas. And the bloody thing doesnt want to start back unless yuh put more gas

On the bright side... all the redline si1 yuh using will have inside yuh gas tank sparkling.
No need to worry about dregs and such.

timos976 · Postby **timos976** » August 8th, 2013, 1:08 pm

If there's dregs the fuel filter stop it from reaching the engine??? so no worries .... right???

timos976 · Postby **timos976** » August 30th, 2013, 3:26 pm

Haven't been doing much aggressive driving these days, but here goes.
As a pad for daily driving, it seems fine thus far. No surprises in this regard. Just the random squeak which quickly goes away as quickly as it came.
A few aggressive stops or slowings, and you get significant brake fade.
