Honda City Prosmatic 2016 Tyre Decision

[HammadMalik_4]

UPDATE (1/3): The guys from tyres section said your car is having Positive Cambering problem. I said, what's this? He explained me that you last tyres are mostly rough from the "Right side" which means this car is having a Positive Cambering problem. I asked what will be the expense to recover it? He said company charges are Rs7k. I was shocked to know. And, It just needs a "Kharadia Machine" and little efforts and charging Rs7k. Khair, I have many good relations with this dealership I got some discount on this as well. And, I fixed this problem as well. Now, everything is done. Only need to take a test drive.

UPDATE (1/4): When I sit on a driving seat. The first this I have realised is steering wheel feels me so smooth and light. And, when I drove my car and it was waqai awesome experience. I have seriously noticed a BIG change. Ride is much smooth. No road noice at all. But, Floor is still vibrating a little much which is I think ignorable. 80% of problem have been resolved with these tyres as I mentioned when I drop this topic into this forum. Much satisfied with Yokohama Advan DB 185/65/R15. Thank you so much guys for suggestions.

UPDATE (1/5): So, everyone it was my initial review. I need some more time to say as my final words. You guys have to wait for 3 weeks. I have been planning since many days to go for a road trip to Jehlum - Islamabad - Rawalpindi - Mirpur - Islamgarh - Hafizabad. All the cities have different roads conditions. So, I'll test and let you guys inform. Stay tuned!. Thank you so much once again. ️

J and rashid sons are trust worthy but there have serious attitude and dealing problems

[suhaibayaz]

They have highest retail turnover in Lahore that’s why they behave like assholes because they don’t care.

[pwuser148475613984]

yeah

Two tyres are for our condition...one is advan db and pther is michellin energysaver though its noisy but braking is just awesome grip is more or less the same for both...tyre u got are a bit expensive for thsi size u got 185 in the price of 195 infact a bit more than that even...plus u payed extra for changing and alignment...everything would have been done with 195 tyres in the price u only payed for the 185 size
Rest assured its a lovely tyre u will enjoy it but my prefrence would have been 195 ...forget the warranty nothing happens to the car till their warranty period no matter whatever you do to the car....about the camber problem you should have bashed them as this problem is with every city manufactured the car goes a bit to the right even on perfect alignment this is a manufacturing issue with this car

[HammadMalik_4]

You are absolutely right. As I said, it cost me more than I thought. Just because of a rudely behavior of a shopkeeper, I decided not to change from this shop that's why I moved to Officially Dealership. If I changed these tyres from that shop to shayad wo mujhe cambering problem kay bare mein batatay hi nahi. Although, I'm much satisfied with performance. But, fuel average damaged so badly. And, this is really need to worry about now. Rest of it, Ride is much comfortable, and braking is more affective now. And car enhanced it's look as well.

Cant expect much from prosmetic

[HammadMalik_4]

But, it is just 8km/l and 250kms in just 33-34liters of tank. Using high-octane + premium fuel by 50:50. Still, so bad results. Prosmatic gear also knocks sometimes.

[ashbal]

Too bad...how much is the car driven?

[HammadMalik_4]

21,000kms

[ashbal]

Try light foot and see

[HammadMalik_4]

I have used this techinc for many, many mannnyy times. But, I didn't found good results. Because I usually drive with light foot. Tyre pressure is 32psi for all. Honda genuine oil and air-filter every 5000kms. And, still 8km/like with a light foot.

Skip high octane and check

[pwuser150297899976]

What u think is perfect tire size? 185 or 195? Or stock tires are best?

[HammadMalik_4]

Already has done this many times when high octane is out of stock in Lahore.

[HammadMalik_4]

185/65/R15 is best -- I'd say! Because, My cousin have car and he installed 195/65/R15 in his car. And, it almost touches the body. 195 is best for Civic (Old shape). Otherwise, I have seen someone in a parking lot. A guy was parking his car in a reverse mode and he had 195 Michellene tyres and it actually touches the inner side when he turned the steering wheel to extreme left side.
However, I'm much satisfied with Yokohama Advan DB 185/65/R15. It's not much hard nor more soft. Road noice is 80% minimize. Car feel much in control of you compare it to stock tyres (Euro Star 175/65/R15). I had no problem with them till 15k millage. As it hits the 20k km I have realised and floor is vibrating much so decided that the time has arrived to change the tyres. Euro Stars are Ok-ish for me till 15k millage. But, Yokohama Advan DB is it at next level.

Brother what was your average on 175 stock tyres.
It dropped after tyre change or 8km/L is from start.
I mean how much difference u found in aveage after tyre change to 185

[HammadMalik_4]

Brother, I was having 10.2km/l till 15k kms on the dail from starts. As I hit 18k kms, It decreases to 9.2km/l. I have checked it from Honda Dealership they release the gas from fuel tank and reset the meter and put some HOBC (High-octane). It again reached to 9.9km/l - 10km/l on dail. But these all figures are calculated by car itself. When, I manually calculated it has done 9km/l with a light paddle. So, Tyres didn't affected the fuel average in my case. I won't point out tyres for this average case.
