The whole point is you can't say a tyre is good or bad simply from the country it is made in.

It's great the Nokians suit you, but they wouldn't be suitable for all Kizashi owners. eg. the only snow I see is on TV.

Some of the WRG3 tyres are made in Russia. eg. I wanted to chime in as I have the Nokian WR G3 w/nitrogen fill on my Volvo C3O, I bought from a Jack Williams tire store here in Pa a few months ago to replace a set of kumhos that had worn out.... The ones I bought are made in Russia. http://www.bobis...

The Kizashi sports look so nice in white.

I was wondering if you've looked at where the Nokians are made - some stuff I've found suggests they're made in Russia? Chinese Westlakes vs Russian Nokians.

PS: IIRC my Pirelli P-Zeros are made in Portugal. Not what I was expecting.

The other thing to remember is you're putting your speedo reading out. I know mine already reads higher than the actual speed by a fair margin (comparing speedo to GPS navigation speed). It would be around 4 km/h optimistic @ 60km/h. That margin would increase slightly with 225/45 vs 235/45.

Why on earth would they use a CVT Kizashi for the "base run"? The whole idea is to use the same vehicle and show improvements for each mod. PS: It even says "cold air baseline" for that run. Armykizyguy92 do you have any contacts at RRM who can clear up what vehicle (manual/ CVT)...

It all depends on the dyno calibration, what correction factor is used and where they place the air temperature probe. Basically, there are a lot of ways you can fudge dyno figures. People also tend to take their vehicles to shops that give the better results- rather than wanting something accurate....

What's more shocking are the stock numbers. Only 129whp?! That's around 97kW at the wheels - I'd say that's a realistic figure from vehicles I've seen dynoed in the past. My last vehicle was rated at the same engine power output and achieved 103kW at the wheels, other near identical vehicles achiev...

So I traded in the Kizashi on a new car.... Sorry to see the Kizashi go, as it has been a great little car for us, and we took good care of it. But, this coolant issue put the fear in us..... So what are the details of your Kizashi- so people know which one to avoid buying secondhand? :lol: The Q50...

Someone else has posted about that in the past.

(It's also interesting given Suzuki have pulled out of your market.)

Trust me, OEM scan tools can read manufacturer specific codes that often give more precise information. Remember, OBD2 is just a generic minimum standard that all vehicles must have. It's possible there may be other Suzuki specific codes logged as well, that the generic tool hasn't read. (I had the ...
