| Team-BHP Support  | Hey Cream, Congrats on the new Petra, I still don't know when I can go for mine. Would like to hear about your experiences with the new tyre. Let me hear your experience on 185/65R14, especially the effect on ride comfort and handling. Quote:

the car is the palio diesel, not the petra - was not able to buy the petra petrol because i travel 50Kms /day...but i am incredibly happy - even though some niggles are irritatiing - some new ones. i feel all tubeless tyres would be more noisy than their tubed brethren - because they do not have the extra air tube inside - which would act as a good insultor for sound and noise transmission - the tubed tyre would contact the road, the rim and the tube - the tube would provide some kinda insulation in this aspect tubeless ones contact the road and the rim directly - thus vibration would be transferred directly - that's just my analysis as an acoustician... but i'm very happy with the tyre per se - they say it has a special silicon compound that makes the tyre a little harder - so it increases life - also this compund reduces rolling resistance (tyre - road) so that helps bring FE up around 5% as against other same sized tyres - FE consious guys may want to look at this. grip and handling dynamics seemed to have improved - but not really able to put it to the test - because i'm driving very carefully in bombay traffic! will definitely post pics - those new neo alloys (model called titan) look awesome -prospective foreign alloy buyers must take a look see. as far as the sound system is concerned - you guys are being too polite - as i said, i'm not a headbanger - so it's going to be some clean, quiet high fidelity for me - to listen to ella, frank, dean, natking cole, knopfler etc ... mostly i see people going for stuff like 12" woofers et al, not really in my zone - will go for a dual 5.25" with a ferrofluid cooled silk dome tweeter pair - coupled with my own crossover - hopefully will sound good. it's an experiment - never really worked in car audio...will keep u guys informed. need some good full ranges for the fronts - no tweeters here - because they are too directional and tend to mess up imaging have a month or more before that happens - you see, i'm broke! those mags - and the knopfler tickets took my last dime away... Mr. R_S, i was eagerly awaiting your phone in mumbai - i guess u were to busy to meet up (or maybe i didn't invite you in the right spirit hehehe) - next time round - | |
