Latio not as good as mention.....

[LatioR]

hi bro, i'll be the 1st one being attacked by u   liao...will try to increase in small step b4 really ramp up to 270 and 250 (to me maybe max at 260 and 240 nia, really kia si and no guts mah...)

[fri13th]

errhh... bro, I am not offended but i tink u shouldn't label those who don't onverinflate their tyres as kiasi rite? some of us here are juz more concerned abt the safety rather than FC. And we are all learning and sharing info here coz we have doubts.  i tink u won't like it if others call u kiasu bcoz u try every ways & means to achieve good FC rite?

u are rite in saying overinflating abit is alrite. but even though the max pressure for toyo is 300, it doesn't mean there will be no risks when its inflated to that level. main thing is to strike a balance.

anyway my tire pressure is 245 front and 230 back. overinflate oso coz i dun drive long distances. 

Errrm.......excuse me Mr not kia si and not kiasu i got ask anyone to inflate to 300kpa meh? Funny leh why do i have a feeling that u are offended by my comment of kiasi though u say u are not? maybe its just me but kiasu me really find it funny that ppl would be offended by comment of  kiasi leh...i use it while toking with friends and even strangers and never in my 30+ yrs of humble life did anyone told me they are offended in anyway as its like a joking way of commenting on some ppl action

[fri13th]

fri13th,

The savings in fuel consumption is not worth the risk of a lack of grip due to your overinflated tyres.

You not only subject your family's lives to great risk, but other road users' too.

270KPa is on the high side even for a full load of 5.

I wouldnt say its overinflated tyres but just that i pump higher than the recommended pressure by nissan and not toyo....overinflate in my dictionary would be pressure higher than the max 300 kpa as advise by toyo...my way of thinking is like ur eo in ur engine also tan chong recommend level of ur eo to be between low and high of our dip stick but when i got my car first day till now and pass through a few servicing the level is always at high and even over shoot it go and check the dipstick in the morning and u would know what i mean...can we trust the recommendation?

ok my fren, u can have tat feeling that i am offended for all u wish. i dun wish to explain any further over such issues.

if u read my post, i didn't mention u ask ppl to pump to 300. i am juz saying max pressure is 300 but still will have some risks if pump to tat level. its juz to share some knowledge that i happen to have. u seem to take it too personally by bringing up your 30+yrs of life with your frens and strangers.

anyway, i will stop here. no point posting further on our miscommunications.

cheers!

errh.. can u explain y the whole tyre will come off the rim? 

over inflation can be risky as pressure inside the tyres will expand during travel. the hot air will cause quite substantial pressure build up. if u are travelling long distances, e.g. to msia, do not overinflate the tires.

Hi,
Maybe let my shallow knowledge explain on behalf. We all should know how the tyre is taken out from a rim when we change tyre right ? We need to deflate it before we can push and pull the sidewall of the tyre before taking out from the rim, so I believe Bro vypez meant is if too low pressure and under the weight of the car acting upon the tyre, there is possibility of the tyre come off the rim, correct me if I have explained incorrectly. 

[iagree]

Hi LatioR

Your tyre really lut so high pressure?

[RG]

Hi LatioR

Your tyre really lut so high pressure?

dun worry bout pumping high pressure bro, myself since the day i used the toyo stock J52 then changed to toyo T1R and now Re001 my pressure always the same front 280 rear 260. if i goin up North then it will be 260,240 (those who know me, they know how i drive  ). anyways those digital pump at the petrol kiosk are not accurate example, when u set to 260 and pump till it beeps, the actual reading will be around 257-255. dun believe try it, after pumping 260 till it beeps den u try pumping again the digital reading will read 255 and start pumping again till 260 and beep.

You should have used your spare tyre, since your car is only 3 mth old and tyre wear on other tyres are minimal.

If you changed only 1 tyre, it is dangerous to use different brand with different tyre thread pattern on the same axle.

Tyres should be ideally be replaced in pairs, of similar brand and model no.

Hi LatioR

Your tyre really lut so high pressure?

Hi iagree, i'm try to increase to max 260 and 240 lah...but not yet OK! Today, just try to increase to 250 and 235 (vs 240 and 220) and really can feel the car must ligther and easily to cheong...Will updates the FC once i've top up next week.

For me, after understand how bro fri13th driving pattern (as posted in earlier reply) and driving within Sg sb OK one lah. Also like to
THANSK bro RG for another great input of trye pressure at 280 and 260 (wah lau A..)  , not sure my stock tyre > 3yrs can take this kind of pressure or not?

You telling people to use spare tyre all the way ? 

[LatioR]

at 50,000 km now and the tyre thread still look quite ok (maybe at 50% wear and tear)..Intend to change early next year with Malaysia brand tyre, eg, Good Year or Dunlop from my cousin in law..

[clarence]

You telling people to use spare tyre all the way ? 

His car was registered in July 2008, hence the spare tyre is still new and safe to use.

However, if his spare tyre has been sitting in the boot for several years and constantly exposed to the built up heat in the boot, then I would not advise him to swop with his punctured tyre with the spare tyre.


What are your thoughts on this?

Do you have a different view?

Again curious are you old enough to drive or just a kid hide behind the monitor as a phantom web surfer having fun as a PCW. Do you really have knowledge of cars ?

To answer your question, spare tyre regardless of age is not meant for normal usage, it just an aid for you to get to the nearest tyre shop to repair your normal tyre, that how the spare tyre come about ?

Now quit spouting about the tyre exposing to heat and so fore, build up your knowledge before getting members here who are actually drivers to get hurt with your comments. Wake up kid. Sorry for being straight.

Alex,

There are 2 types of spare tyres.

Spare tyres can be full-size or temporary space saver 'mini spares'.

'Mini spares' are designed to take up less room in your vehicle and to get you to the nearesr tyre shop, but not to be driven on for long periods.

Latio comes with full size Toyo J50 185/65R15 spare tyres which are identical to the 4 tyres fitted on the Latio.

Totally agreed with Clarence on this. My first car, Altis, has a spare tyre tat was identical to the 4 tyres fitted and at 10k servicing...did rotation with the spare tyre so tat the wearing is even. The same happened when I drove a Ford Focus statonwagon when in europe. But when I was in another europe country, my Mazda 3 was having a smaller spare tyre....
