Any bros with the following knowledge?

32-34, depending on your load and what you want your fuel consumption like. I also consider the width of the tyre (195 or 205). The latter have better grip while doing fast cornering but higher fuel consumption becaust i find it "heavier" to pickup.

3. Has anybody changed dashboard instruments lights before? How much does it cost and how long do I need to leave the car at the workshop?

Forgot the cost. 1 light kaput never change until the 2nd light kaput then change all of it. Just about 1-2hrs job if I can remember.

Thanks in advance!

1. 15" stock tyres

2. Currently on 245-250 psi. Lesser friction with the road, improved FC. Doing about 650km on a full tank, 85% highway.

3. Roughly 2-3 hours job. Labour will make up a huge bulk of the total cost. You can do some illuminated dials though. Look for keltanky!

Wah... 650km per full tank is very impressive. You driving w/o a/c? ::)

BTW, with 250psi, isn't your ride your hard? I was also considering this, but with my current pressure @ 220psi I find it just nice only leh...

650km's with air conditioning :) But its because I only stop for 2 traffic lights along the way to work daily so that's maybe why I'm getting such good mileage.

620km was a mish mash of arterial roads and expressways but still good.

250psi, well yes, it's a little hard especially over humps but for expressways and cruising it's fine :D Trying different ways to improve mileage you know!

Hi Kelvin,

Cheers
