My FC Getting Better With Low RPM
SoL:
In msia I think around 260 or 270 is ok bah. If not NSH but those kinda bumpy roads, reduce even more. Not very sure about this, you might want to ask those bros who frequent Msia.

But I still find it weird that car makers place tire pressure recommendations on their car. After all, they don't make the tires. I can't help but think if its a conspiracy to make us think latio ride is very smooth by asking us to use lower pressure. :glare:

I suspect when they POC a particular model, the recommended pressure will yield a balanced FC and stability according to the presence of the manufacture. (I could be wrong, haha)

Hi iagree,
Light footer is 1 of the best but not always the best, there are few factors contributing to good FC, tyre pressure, weight of the car and traffic condition. ;)
SoL:
I think for me the biggest improvement to my FC comes from the way I drive.
Braking reduces FC.
I see some people chiong off at traffic light and then brake hard at a red light 50m ahead. Or people braking for no reason on expressway.
One technique I use is to pretend I'm driving without brakes. Brake only when you have to. That way you won't accelerate or brake needlessly and your FC will definitely have a big improvement. Plus you save on brake pad replacement. ;D
