Tks for all inputs.

Would like to find out more about this tyre's characteristics, I just got this set, replacing my 2 year old Potenza RE050 which is a huge improvement in the road noise dept. No idea about the grip levels compared to the RE 050 though. Any comments?

Anyone ever heard a swishing sound from their glove compartment before? The sound is similar to a coin sliding across a wooden table. I will hear that whenever I make a turn. Use to hear it once in a while 2 weeks ago, but it has gotten worse 2 days ago. Also, my aircon is leaking on my passenger side. Is it normal? Pls advice... TIA!

I'm going to guess yes. I've been trying to book a slot for badminton, but it's like the slots are never free. I check at.....12.02 AM, on the day that's just been released and it's fully booked already. Is that...normal? Do people stay up till 12 just to book this? And I guess the day is released for booking exactly at the strike of midnight? Jesus, badminton is bloody popular.

Hi there, Anyone knows of an experienced telemarketer who can perform? willing to pay well for good quality staff. cheers.

hi all, driving a Fit, I always felt that right front tyre is lower than the others..is it possible? what causes it? symptoms - when turning to either sides with steering locked...the car feels like rocking while turning. it feels more when turning on the right than left side... also, don alignment, balancing rotating...still the same... left front tyre - outer side have wear , the other 3 tires don't have... then after all the alignment, balancing rotating, changed of cmber nut on the front left.. 1month later the left front tyre show wear out on the outer side again... any idea why? thanks

Just want to check whether this is normal or my ears are playing tricks on me.... My front speaker is located at the lower corner of the door nearer to the kick panel. I find that the "listening experience" actually changed when there is someone sitting on the front passenger seat. That is, without a front passenger, I get a balanced SQ but when someone is sitting in front, the right side is more dominant. Is this normal?? Thanks in advance.
