May I know please that how much kms in total you drove Yazd tires and did they ever give you any problem like puncture etc?

[Xulfiqar]

Puncture is not a tire problem, problem would be a badly made tire or out of round or misbalanced from factory,

The ones used were installed on hilux loader, provided excellent service for 60,000 kms when they were swapped out due to age (maintenance schedule)

[MBBS]

Noted. Good feedback for a Irani tire

[Thinking]

you got irani tyres in USA??

[MBBS]

Don't go for kabli shocks, they are mostly locally repaired or have completed their service life and start giving problems sooner. Kabli shocks are really scams. Better go for new aftermarket reliable company shocks matching the oem performance & durability.
I had purchased all new aftermarket Korean 4 shock abosrbers for santro and running with peace of mind since last 2 years Alhamdulillah.

In the early 2000s I was in Pk

[pwuser15609321293]

I am also planning to buy new parts and will get them replaced by a good workshop.

[MBBS]

That's like a sensible guy.
Btw I also have Honda city Alhamdulillah. I suspect rear shocks have gone now. But first I will inspect them and then replace if needed. The car is feeling hard on jumps from rear.

Us waqt Irani tires aatay thy pak mein ?

[pwuser15609321293]

This is what I was thinking too. Front shocks seems totally fine to me rear left shock seems to be weak for me. But the point is a good workshop is hard to find that can guide you if all shocks or only the weak shocks needs to be replaced. Since you own Honda city if the engine is at idle can you feel slight very little vibration in steering. I mean you can feel that engine is on. Is this normal or not?

[MBBS]

It depends on idle rpm also. If idle rpm is not optimum or set properly like at 750-800 Rpm at least then there will be whole engine vibrating.
Moreover which model do you own? Idsi or ivtec ? And there could be also other reason a driver can feel vibration in interior while at idle rpm, if engine mounts are weak etc etc but in this case engine will give a jerk while initial pickup in first gear.

[MBBS]

Shock absorbers are not hard to inspect for their functionality, either they loose their shock absorbing capability by leaking hydraulic oil or gas whatever and car bounces from from rear if it's rear shocks, because only spring tension is playing it's part for suspension & absorptions of shocks. Or shock absorbers also can be damaged, locked due to hit by something underneath causing it completely failed to absorb shock and rider feels bumpy hard ride

[MBBS]

Better get shock absorbers inspected from a good suspension workshop, take only advice from them, if you are not satisfied, get inspected from 2-3 different workshops, and analyse what all they say

[pwuser15609321293]

I have ivtech. Idle rpm is perfectly set 750-800. The vibration is very less you can hardly feel it but not as compared to civic. I have heard from different people that it's normal in city

[pwuser15609321293]

Yes. I will get it inspect from a good workshop first

[MBBS]

Then let it go if it's very minor vibration. I have idsi though and 1st hand Alhamdulillah , I am single owner since zero meter for last 14.5 years. I never felt any such unnecessary vibration. Thought I have set it's idle RPM myself many times, even had serviced it's throttle body by opening it myself back in 2016.

[MBBS]

Hey guys. Alhamdulillah I am currently running my both cars on cng. Getting best average of 28-30 km/kg in my santro & 23-25 km/kg in Honda city Alhamdulillah.
