Third Generation Toyota Vitz Guide

Bro where are the lock / unlock buttons? I couldn't see them.

This is the other spare key which my friend got with his 2014 vitz.

[anon35615524]

Ok. I get it. So this spare key's shape is different from mine.

[Nabeel_Ali]

Nah bro. Yokohama db and bueearth series are popular due to their poor reliability.
Used them countless times.

[anon35615524]

Ok... Now that's something strange, since internationally, I have read good reviews about them.

[Nabeel_Ali]

These weren’t available. I checked Dunlop lm702 which is hard and michillen energy saver plus which is expansive (9k each)
Else Chinese brands were available which are noisy.

[anon35615524]

Ok. I get it.

Does J Rashid shop also has alloy rims? Especially by Lenso? Or other light weight, good quality rims? (Even made in China, but good quality)

Secondly, are all the tires there custom paid and all the duties and taxes paid?

Pardon, if I offended someone. I have read very good reviews about J Rashid, but still, just thought of asking, as it's common in the markets that smuggled tires are openly sold, and both buyer and seller openly know about it and happily accept them.

[pwuser155009269518]

Is it genuine or simple made by local key maker?

[aunabbas_90]

Bro you are right, i have been continuing my research.
And a balance between hard and soft tyres are Bridgestone and Dunlop. Pirelli is also a good option.
Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 is the best pattern available in 185/65/R14 .
Dunlop SP sports and Bridgestone EP150 are recommended.
And i have decided to go for 185/65/R14
As i am sticking with the stock rim 14".

[aunabbas_90]

Yes they are only available in Chinese and Dunlop.
Mostly tyre shop guys are recommending 185/R14
As it is easily available and within 3% range.
Bro if you are not planning a rim upgrade then 185/70/R14
Is recommended.
And 185/65/R14 with spacers 0.5"
Else if you want to go in 15" then there is whole lot different story.
I wd recommend you to get your tyres changed asap as ppl say that real drive of vitz is with upsized tyres.

[Nabeel_Ali]

J Rashid mostly has smuggled tyres. Honestly I am going there for 15 years and never have I ever faced a single issue ever.
And yes they have alloy rims too.

[anon35615524]

Bro, I don't know and can't confirm either.

My previous ride Passo also had a simple spare key, similar to the one I had shown in keys pictures above. It was not wrapped in any black plastic, like this one. But still, I can't say anything with surety.

May be it's original, or may be, it's made locally in market.

[anon35615524]

Yes, you are right. Bridgestone and Dunlop seem reasonable options. Pirelli are quite expensive, so I may not opt them.

What about Goodyear, Hankook, Nexen (Korean brand, but quite reasonable)?

Bridgestone Ecopia series are well enough. In Dunlop, one of the fellow members recommended Ensave series. Did you do some research about this series too? What are your thoughts?

Well... If you have decided to go for 185/65/R14 on stock 14" rims, then do share your feedback, experience and pics here too. I will be waiting.

[anon35615524]

Rightly said!

[anon35615524]

Ok. That's Good to know.

Even if they have smuggled tires, still, they are very reputed vendors for tires. I have read very good reviews about them.

[aunabbas_90]

No i dint do any research on Goodyear etc.
I was focusing on Bridge Dunlop Yoko,
..
..
Sure bro i ll hopefully come up with a good feedback

[anon35615524]

Finding the best matching and best compatible "tire", has become the same and equally difficult as finding the best matching and best compatible "Rishta".

[aunabbas_90]

Hahahahah Sir lagta hai apka rishta hunt bhe chal raha hai.
LoL nae sir tyre wala issue ain't that sensitive.
Go for yokohama or Continental (soft category)
Bridgestone Ecopia Ep150 (Medium Range)

By the way m also stuck in both these cases parallel
But i ve finalized to go for Softer tyres to enjoy the car's suspension as much as possible; n bear min load/bump transfer to shocks.
AND best drive pleasure is with soft tyres haha hope you get that
And so i have decided for Continental CC6 German Tech.
185/65/R14. Conti is even more pleasant than Yoko.
Locked. Finally. And recommended as well.

[anon35615524]

Well... Then Goodluck, in fact best of luck.

(Nope. I am happily married. MA SHA ALLAH That "Chutkla" was for my Bachelor friends , but Yes, it's true!)

Yup. I got your point. Soft tires are a no match to any other type. And... Ok, so as far as now, shortlisted tires seem to be Yokohama, Bridgestone Ecopia series and Continental CC6. And you have decided to go for CC6 Continental. Bro, do share the pics, prices, place where you bought from and other details here, after when you buy them.

[aunabbas_90]

Very TRUE
Definitely i will.
