Oh wait, was it 1.5 compared to 1.6.....lol but remember he mention was 1.3. He always complain driving back to hometown and saying use so much fuel.....lolEh? Got Auto for 1.3? From what I know Wira 1.3 only comes in manual. Unless converted?

1.3 A/T also, not M/T...lol
The 1.6 despite with just 100cc more had a much higher power gain than the 1.5 and one extra gear ratio which probably helps in cruising.Oh wait, was it 1.5 compared to 1.6.....lol but remember he mention was 1.3. He always complain driving back to hometown and saying use so much fuel.....lol
Not really coz actually 7.5jj is maximum width recommended to pair with 205/50 tires, so mine at 7jj still within that range. 215/45/17 is also good but a bit too thin (sidewall height only 9.7cm) so harsher. My X now on 245/40/18 is also only having sidewall of 9.8cm and I can already feel it harsher than before even though the steering response is of course better too. Next change for my X I'd probably try 235/45/18 + 265/40/18, or 225/45/18 + 255/40/18, but I think the front end surely would not be as responsive as this current size.By reducing it to 205mm width which is 20mm lesser than 225mm, won't it cause the tyres to become slightly stretched? Maybe something at 215/45/17 is a better balance and more common to get?
I think the previous stock wheels with those tyres really disappointed you a lot.
...
Yeah, the V12 Evo2 and Fleva also have, but other models (F1D5, S1 Evo2, CSC series etc.) don't have so selection is much narrower. Most shops also don't stock this size much hence the chance of getting a bigger discount price is a lot less (I think it can be even more expensive than the 225/45/17, not sure).No worry brother. 205/50R17, Goodyear Asy3, Michelin PS3 and PS4 also have......lol
If so, maybe 205 might give you less rolling resistance and lets your car feel more power compared to 225mm. But your Mark X tyres are really wide and expensive too I think. Looks like you like to try on various tyre sizes instead of sticking to the same size all the time.Not really coz actually 7.5jj is maximum width recommended to pair with 205/50 tires, so mine at 7jj still within that range. 215/45/17 is also good but a bit too thin (sidewall height only 9.7cm) so harsher.

Std tires is just a skinny 185/65/15, using the shit Continental CC series! No good for anything other than just comfort and durability, utterly shit tires!

Well I actually prefer sidewall height no less than 10cm but for the Mark X I also bought the tires used together with the rims so cannot be too choosy as well! Ideally I would like 235/45 & 265/40/18 but those sizes are not as common especially 265/40/18 so that will be damn expensive too, and not sure if can still clear or will rub the rear fenders already. So second choice would be 225/45 & 255/40/18. We'll see later when comes time to change again (and that's also assuming I still own the car too).If so, maybe 205 might give you less rolling resistance and lets your car feel more power compared to 225mm.

Nowadays, conti tyres seemed to come with many stock cars. But they are not exactly cheap in terms of price either.
Yup, the MC5 model for mid range and CC5 for lower range....Nowadays, conti tyres seemed to come with many stock cars. But they are not exactly cheap in terms of price either.
Peak hp is low for 1.8 engine at 118hp.Even Campro CPS pumps out 125hp.Oh, you have the rare Waja variant. DOHC right? Power should be much improved over the 4G18.
True, at least you don't have to rush or hurry with your DIY.
So now you are using 10mm narrower than your ideal width. Just a small difference. But from the sound of it, your wheels seems like newly bought?Well I actually prefer sidewall height no less than 10cm but for the Mark X I also bought the tires used together with the rims so cannot be too choosy as well!

Continental tires are good, at least based on my previous experience on CSC series but not their low end (well IMHO all low end models are hopeless anyway no matter what brands!).
Most continental tyres we can see here are low end ones. Hardly seeing anyone using high end variants.Yup, the MC5 model for mid range and CC5 for lower range....
What gearbox is yours using? Also from Renault?Peak hp is low for 1.8 engine at 118hp.Even Campro CPS pumps out 125hp.
It win hands down in power delivery,fuel consumption,gb shifting, engine refinement.
Oh wait...it "wins" on maintenance cost too..heheh.
Is the Renault engine low on maintenance? Heard there are a lot of complains on it. In fact at that time was suppose to get the 1.8 Waja, but when the talk failed Mitsu and they took the Renault engine, I pass. One of my friend who did get one, mentioned his always in Service Center....:hmmmm:Peak hp is low for 1.8 engine at 118hp.Even Campro CPS pumps out 125hp.

OEM for car company the tyres sure will not be premium unless the car is also. I only know PUG 308T and VW have the CSC range but had plenty of complains of bulging. My friends who had them all change to other brands of tyres when the tyres bulge and one even burst.....lolMost continental tyres we can see here are low end ones. Hardly seeing anyone using high end variants.
No, not like that. My 245 is actually already 2 cm wider than the std tires for this car for the Sports Package version which comes stock with 225/45/18 all round on 18x8 rims. As for my stock ones, they're even smaller 215/60/16 with 16x7 rims only! Newer GRX130 Sports Package comes with slight larger 235/45/18 which is still 1cm narrower than mine now. So mine at 245 is already considered a bit overspec, which is good already, but of course if can go wider then better lor!So now you are using 10mm narrower than your ideal width. Just a small difference. But from the sound of it, your wheels seems like newly bought?
The high end continentals are imported from Germany itself isn't it? As for the low end ones, I've read a lot of bad reviews in zth regarding them.

Some Mercs E & C classes also come stock with CSC tires.OEM for car company the tyres sure will not be premium unless the car is also.

I think the gearbox is inhouse by peugot/renault/citreon.Is the Renault engine low on maintenance? Heard there are a lot of complains on it.

Ok, ok, got it......lolOn the maintenance..i said "win" instead of win...there is a different there..hehhe.
Hahaha, ok la, not that expensive and still affordable actually coz already got some scratches, plus got nice GY German made tires that came with it, so I close eye and went ahead with the deal. Your Type-C is also the same la!Bro 6UE5t, ur used volks rims also cost half bomb... lol
