White must be pearl now in 2022 as companies are saving huge on solid white. Cheapest single stage paint and Pakistanis are still being given

[fastian04]

I kind of agree. Non RS looks very bland somehow may be due to rims or black trims.

People spending a lot to change trims / adding rims etc

[omaruser156370259465]

Yes seeing the same. Most Oriels I see here in Peshawar have aftermarket rims and RS spoiler as well sometimes.

I have booked white and I dont say it looks better than other colors. But white is the easiest to maintain color plus after 5,6 years if a dark color has scratches it would look bad.

Lastly in case of re paint white matches quote easily unlike any dark color because dark color fades with the time and can't match to the exact color

[Spano]

What would you suggest me.
Shall I continue with factory fitted BG tyres
or
I have Michelin Primacy 4 Made in Italy only 6,7 thousand km used by my own self in my X. Then I had to buy ultra high performance tyres to match the power of my car.

So what would you say
BG thunder are ok ?
Or should I switch to Michelin

Not open to 3rd option please

[waqar747]

I think moving to your own Michelins should be a natural best option. They are really good tires over their life, unlike the BGs . In any case, the used Michelins would outperform the new BGs any day of the week. Go for it Ehtesham bhai,

[fastian04]

Bg Thundermax is surprisingly good bhai. Pretty grippy and silent. M using it and since i always changed tyres on 1st day I didn’t change Thundermax so far . 2300 driven and tested a lot till now. Once it generates noise i will change to Primacy4. There is nothing like michellin but Thundermax is as silent as a pc6 was in last turbo.

I would happily spend on remap instead of tyres for now. Bg luxo were very loud but these are very decent atleast for now. If i change every year to fresh tyres, still it would be cheaper

[fastian04]

Bhai for any dark color, ppf would be a must and chinese ppf is horrible in finishing. Branded means 400k besides the price of car but swirl free dark shade is a blessing as well. I always kept white for the same reason as yours but once i planned for ppf i m happy with the darker ones

[Spano]

Yes, thats like a plan

[Spano]

I am also inclined towards PPF but I have some concerns so couldn't make up my mind till now

[fastian04]

What’s the concern??

[ali454]

I try to support local stuff over imported but sadly after various experiences I have come to the conclusion that one should get rid of these piece of sh**t tires by the names of Tycoon, Luxo, Eurostar, Thundermax etc ASAP.

Else you will never experience the true character of the car.

[tech_wiz]

What's the best place to get the remap done and what are the associated costs?

[fastian04]

50k total no other thing

One and only one Maxpower

[fastian04]

Bhai i fully agree but Thundermax is exception so far. I had to brake in emergency and it was perfect. Thing is if i m spending on ppf and tints why not on tyres but tbh tyres are v decent so far

[Spano]

have you done PPF to you car ?
I would like to talk to you on phone once I get my car to discuss the concerns

[aragon1]

Salman bhai isn't dust still a problem after PPF and what about swirls on the PPF?

[fastian04]

Yes mine all ppf fully done.

03004345977 anytime sir

[fastian04]

No issue. 100% swirl free sir. More glossy than a showroom display unit

[ali454]

They wont be good over 10k kms.
Thats why its better to sell them at a good price and go for something else as soon as possible. Even a medium range tire from a decent brand is far far better than General tires.

I have an Alto 12k driven on stock tires and one of them is deshaped and the car drives crappy. Initially was good so decided to keep them but regret my decision.
