Oh. Nice ! Congrats. I like the color, btw ! :thumbup:

yung mags parang same as the SiR stock. mas type ko yung gamit niyo ngayon sir. hehe

anyway, sinagad ni sir type 100 yung goma bago paliatan. im guessing full throttle sa mga byahe?

ang malupit, byahe na ng byahe, neat and clean pa rin yung oto!

[Type 100]

Hehe salamat Archie Even my girlfriend prefers the Rota C10s. Pero okey lang I'm going for "stealth" now ;) I'm sure she wouldn't mind the money I'd save on smaller tires too.

Sinasagad ang goma? Well you could say that. The Toyo Proxes 4s are actually still pretty meaty despite the use/abuse I've worn on them - there's more than enough tread depth left for the rainy season. Let that be a testament to the quality of Toyo's tires, kahit hindi sikat.

Neat and clean pero hindi scot-free...humahaba na ang crack sa windshield ko! Honda Makati says the replacement parts (specifically windshield mouldings) had to be ordered from Thailand and won't be complete until May 19.

ouch yung windshield! medyo mapapagastos talaga. ayaw niyo aguila na lang? alam ko they charge cheaper than casa.

BTW, ano plano sa c10's niyo? baka gusto niyo donate sakin?... very welcome.

edit: why not try yokohama a drive? gripy tires rather than goodyear and bridgestone na nasubukan ko.

Archie:
Insurance will take care of the windshield, so I thought I might as well go the OEM route.

The Circuit 10s, I'll probably dispose of. Sorry not donating them, I need every peso I can scrape from the barrel these days :p Just because I push my car on the track it doesn't mean I'm wealthy hehehe

I'm not sure if the non-ADVAN Yokohama tire lineup will serve me well. User feedback is kind of mixed, especially with the S.drive tires I was looking at two years ago. But their ADVAN lineup is quite good. I drove my dad's Lancer EX shod with 18" 45-series ADVAN A10 tires and I could not believe how much smoother it rode compared to my Jazz.

yeah, ADVAN are damn gripy tires. i drove an a-drive and s-drive tire of friends but i prefer the a drive because its much more quiet than the s drive.

performance wise though s drive takes it pero its more expensive. ADVAN is on a league on its own, kapit talaga. sulit ang brembo breaks. kaso bilis maubos. hehe

the toyo has good reviews din, just havent tried them.

im thinking of switching back to 15's after a few weeks or months (depending on budget). damn 17's are bad for may already bad lower back.

pix of the new set pagnakabit na sir!!

Advan is top dog. I can't do a proper burnout on my friend's MR2 with Advan rubber.

With my Neovas, launching on a dry surface is a nightmare. On stock tires, I can launch cleanly and smoothly at 4k rpm. With the Neovas, there's a slim window between bog and too much wheelspin, with anything below 5.5k rpm on a dry, clean surface ending in bog.

Wow, that's consistent with what my friend was explaining to me about them Advans. Kinda like doing a "Perfect Launch!" moment from Need for Speed. Really great tires, too bad they cost twice than regular S-Drive rubbers.

For my purposes ADVAN Neovas are overkill.

Besides they're not a good daily-drive choice on a Jazz.

Firm Jazz suspension + hard Neova sidewalls = fatigue.
High price + low treadwear = lean wallet!
