All New 2017 Mazda 3

Motolite memo apparently. But I think she's misinterpreting it. Not sure if verbatim but she said, "All Skyactive iStop/Start models..." can't be serviced because of the special battery. If i insisted on buying it would be no warranty. I think she's reading it as "All Skyactive, and iStop models..." or something.

Fortunately she referred me to the local branch near me. And the immediate question from the guy in the branch was, "Sir, hindi naman iStop yan kotse nyo no?" And all is well. Now just waiting if their rider can get thru the checkpoint.

it would seem, the lyrics have to be re-phrased, to avoid mis-understandings.
it is not the first time, that similar "vaguely-written" phrases have resulted to unfortunate events.

Is there any other good tire options for us. Micheline PS4 and Primacy is a bit expensive. What are other options or what are you running on your M3s? Looking for contacts din with 225/45R18 size. Thanks!

Want budget? Try Accelera Phi.

Have you considered Kumho or Hankook?

Also cheaper than Michelin and the likes.

AU04 demand is high, just no supply. Aeolus is currently producing for Pirelli.

Don't Westlake. Brands like Nankang, Federal, Deestone, Radar, GITI, GT, Accelera are way better.

Sailun is among the better China brands.

Bad experience ko sa Nankang, di na ako uulit dyan. Federal and Accelera are good in my experience using them.

We now use Falken on the Jetta and Federal on the Civic.

Yung Sorento namin naka Sailun Atrezzo and I am not impressed. However, it is not as bad as Nankang.

If only the Yokohama has 19" for my car, I'll go for this brand. Made in the Philippines!

Have used Yokohama V701, Bridgestone RE003, and Michelin PS4.

By far, PS4 > RE003 >>> V701. Of course V701 is almost half the price so expected naman.

PS4 and RE003 are both good but PS4 has much better durability, better grip, and they priced the same.

You must've gotten the Chinese Nankangs, bai? The dealer local to me would only carry Taiwan Nankangs.
What Feds are you on? My 595SS dint last very long, UTQG 240. AutoXers love this though.

Not sure if YokoPh does All Season 19s, brother Bossing. I checked mine, they're Nippon made.

I used Federal 595EVO on my old Accord before. The Civic now has the 595SS. They felt almost the same.

Grippiest tire I have used before is the Kumho Ecsta XS (KU36). There was not much grooves on them and the surface felt like fine sandpaper, threadwear rating is 180. They were only good for 20k kilometers.

My 595SS did not last 20k.🤪Noisy, too.

I was​ told by a tire shop that 19" is not available for Yokohama...

I'll check next time but I still have 2 spare tires courtesy of one of our members​ so I'll have to buy another pair for Bridgestone next year. Hopefully not!
[emoji3]

I didn't know that this type (brand) of tire is a bit tough and pliant. I was expecting that I'll be changing the four tires by 50,000 km but the tires are still thick!

Naniwala ka kaagad? Next time, ask bro Whistler first.

If it's not RoadForce balancing, vibrations can still happen.

Ayan. Naghahanap ako ng road force balancing dito sa Manila.. Parang wala...

Baka mga either country origin dependent or model dependent. Im currently using NanKang NS-2R. Very happy ako. I initially borrowed it from the Anton's sponsor, kay Jason Young. I was using Federal 595Evo that race which was included in my purchase of my SSR wheels. Medjo madulas for me ang Federal 595Evo kaya i borrowed the NS-2R. To my surprise makapit siya and its very much comparable to my Federal RSRR. Cheaper kasi ng kaunti din by a few hundreds ang NS-2R kaya im trying it out. So far happy ako.
