I believe pumping close to the manufacturer recommendations for 185/55R15 is ok for your current setup as the diff is not much between the sizes.

 

30-32psi should give U best overall comfort and economy like what Lester mentioned. I suggest give the front tires 32 and rear 30 since it's a FWD and they tend to be front heavy. [;)]

Yo Turbobrick,

 

visited your home page and man your S70 maybe my wife's dream car (she loves a volvo and especially in light blue colour.... I promised her one 3 years later). BTW, there seems to be one that looks like yours but in red colour at a public carpark near my place.

 

Thanks for the advise, btw, when the manual mentioned use unleaded fuel with octane level greater than 91 means that we can use the 92 that we find in our normal petrol koisk? I thought there is a diff between lab value and commercial value? anyone can enlighted me? [crazy]

[replynow still okay to post... but once start to travel again.. then end up as amateur again! [blush] [/reply]

 

Really ? [shocked] I didn't know the user titles were pegged to the daily posts.... as far as I know, the titles are based on accumulated postings. [crazy]

 

Well, it's either that or Guyver-wannabe's are really gonna have to work hard on hitting 1000 posts a day.... [:(][laugh]

Hi Cosx,

 

I just recently learnt that my brick is the ONLY one in SG that is Frost Green color, the other one SM sold four years back has be exported some time back [:)]

 

The red color ones are damn chio too! [cool]

 

The only diff in petrol grades is our RON and US-based MON ratings. So the US grade of 87MON is actually higher if converted to RON (donno the formula now [crazy] )

 

So if the manual recommends 91min then go ahead and pump 92 at our gas stations, no harm [;)]

Hi Cosx,

 

Welcome, welcome.

 

What did the tyre shop recommend for your new rubbers? Usually they stick a sticker somewhere reminding you the new pressures recommended. I might be wrong, but it seems logical to me that changing tyre sizes would mean changing pressures.

 

Talked to a friend. He says his Carnival gets 8km/L max. But that is after 30000km, with a 2.5ton body and 2.5 V6 engine. Hope your Carens get better over time.

Hi Neopug,

 

yeap the recommended one was 30psi... same as what Kia recommended. so I figure should be ok...

 

Hopefully, with the 1.3 ton body and 1.8 engine, I can get about 9+km/litre.... I understand from the agent that Carnival received many complaints about fuel consumption but Carens was ok.. they still insist that customer feedback 9-10km/litre.... I really really hope they are right.

 

Thanks [:)]
