I remember Ixeo said a few times that continental tyre is rubbish. He was referring to the local made continental tyres.

same here , last time bough x-gear come with continental tyre too. Can see cracking at the side groove (looks like going to peel off piece by piece), after 1+ year driving. Cornering produce noise, but not the drive shaft thing.
TC sc fella check, found out noise is from tyre.
After that replace to xm2. OK dy.

LOL, seems that only my friend is dumb enough to continue using continental on his 7 year old Grand Livina. Change tyres few months ago and still stick to same tyre.

Car safety come from many aspects.
Since tyre giving problem, cannot compromise already.

Tyre is one of the most important points in safety. It is where the car keeps its contact and grip on road surface. I don't think it is a good idea to take risks on tyres.

Woah, so now you got 4 cars? Yours is the NA forester? CKD 2.0?

Seems like the stock continental tyres are not up to your standards. 5 months old and you changed it.

Yup, NA but would love the XT turbo model but out of budget.....lol

dont let the tiggo negleted!

turn it into project suv...hahaha...extreme mudder+lift kit


i'm never been a fan of continental tyre strictly due to the fact their tyre range usually have thinner sidewal

Tiggo now daughter using. You know the Chery Transcom have same engine with turbo....hahhaha
but Tiggo 2WD only....:rolleyes:

Yup, my MC5 sidewall also 1 ply rating only. They are more comfortable over bumpy road, but more body roll, so got pros and cons. Even though wife likes comfort but she prefer a more stable ride especially driving a SUV that is higher up.....lol

No lah! Conti top end CSC5 and now 6 are in the top performance category, however friends did have sidewall crack issues on the CSC5 and many on the CSC3 that came with the PUG 308T. Even another friend local Passat with CSC3 also bugle and burst.
Mine were local MC5

Yup, now quite full, but if you want to park your Beemer or your STi at my place still can park into the grass area.....lol

Yalor, all "lang moon", in Cantonese no value cars.......lol

Not selling. If sell, mechanic will be first to take......lol

Now this is the first AT car in your house.

Well, the Forester turbo today is probably not as powerful as the older Forester turbo like what pomen_GTR owned.

Those are not locally made isn't it?

At least you have one excuse to keep these cars as long as you want. Can't sell, so just keep them. But I was sort of curious how did you find that Sonata manual? Did Hyundai Malaysia really offered such spec?

Nope, Chery is AT, Forester is CVT. XT turbo at least more power than VR.....lol

Higher end tyres from overseas, but CSC5 are from overseas, if not mistaken, so is CSC3, maybe now some will be local since got factory here.

Those are CBU model, they got 2.0L twin cam AT and 1.8L SOHC MT, after that the CKD model is the Sonata 5

I thought your Chery is manual too. Forester's CVT also works like auto what. The XT turbo on international market had a lower output than what the Japanese get. I think the Japanese XT turbo gives out 296hp on that FA20 engine.

Continental's own factory or sime tyre factory?

You must have bought the Sonata really long ago. I don't think I have seen those anywhere other than that one lucky time which I encountered your car at PJ.
