Re: What tires are best?

That's what I was thinking. I think your rear tires are fakes. That would explain the poor wear. I highly doubt that because my front 2 tyres are still almost fresh. As a matter of fact my front left tyre (which has a different tread from the other 3) was the one i was suspecting to be old and defe...

Re: What tires are best?

I am a bit curious about the CNG conversion. The car always starts on petrol and when the temperature reaches optimum level, it switches to CNG automatically. There is a switch for change over between petrol and CNG. This can be done when the car is moving also. I've been driving CNG cars since las...

Re: What tires are best?

The extra weight that I'm carrying is 75 Kgs max. That's the weight of an average adult. I highly doubt the added weight is causing this problem. Also 95% of the time, no one is sitting in the rear when I'm driving. Yeah, the CNG tank isn't much weight at all. I didn't think that was the issue. I a...

Re: What tires are best?

I'll check the other side of the tyre just to confirm. I think I'll get 2 new tyres soon for the rear, get alignment done properly once again and then see how it goes. I was reading about some camber angle of rear tyres also. Could that be another reason? With your wear being completely even across...

Another very good point because if the tires are overloaded, then they will wear differently than designed.

Re: What tires are best?

Hi fellow kizashi owners/experts, has anyone experienced severe tyre wear out only on the rear tyres? I changed my tyres at 30k KM (18.5k Miles) in Apr'21. Right now at 62k KM (38.5k Miles), both my rear tyres are almost bald whereas my front tyres are good for another 20k KM (12.5k Miles). I have ...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Hey Samir! hope you've been well, I'm finally getting off my butt after a year or two and am about to finally take a crack at this, a question before I begin is: Do I NEED to deflate the tires after the car is put into relearn mode? or can I just use the tool to do so, And on the tool note, i'm pro...

Wouldn't surprise me--they did take a lot of the styling ideas that were hot at the time and put them together pretty seamlessly on the Kizashi. Car still looks great!

Re: The Kizashi Spotting Thread!

I agreed that the Kizashi's design was not radical but still something interesting. I often think the Buick Regal of the Kizashi's generation looked similar with the rather rounded shape and exhaust finishers. The front of the Kizashi looked a bit like the Mk V VW Jetta but the Kizashi Sport models...
