I know I haven’t checked mine in a while, to be fair. I also can’t remember the last time I pumped air into my tyres, let alone checking the tyre pressure. It wasn’t until my colleague Adrian pointed out that the ride of my car felt odd, and recommended that I checked my tyre pressure just to be sure. I swung by a nearby petrol station to get my tyre pressure checked, and yes, all four of my tyres had really low pressure, one of them as low as 23 PSI. Yup, 23 PSI. That is much lower than the man

Your car ownership experience isn’t complete without having at least one flat tyre incident. For this, manufacturers have given us full-sized spares, space-savers, run-flat tyres, and even tyre repair kits. What you have in your car has been pre-determined by the manufacturer. The question is, which is the best? The answer depends on the type of driver you are, the type of commute you do, and where you live. Each option offers its own pros and cons. 1.

4x4 seringkali dilihat sebagai sebuah kereta yang lebih sasa. Imej yang ditonjolkan juga nampak lebih tegap dan lasak. Tetapi kebiasaannya, kereta yang ranggi seperti ini terlalu besar untuk digunakan di kawasan bandar. Di sinilah Suzuki Jimny tonjolkan kehebatannya yang agak sukar untuk ditandingi. Sejak diperkenalkan pada tahun 70-an, Suzuki Jimny telah menempah nama sebagai salah satu ikon off-roader di mata dunia. Tetapi kenapa kereta offroad 4x4 mini ini sangat diminati sehinggakan ia terju

How do you check your tyre wear? Universally, we are taught to hold a coin within the grove of the tyre to check the depth of the treads. It took quite a bit of digging before I found the Malaysian coin version of the test. If all the alphabets of the words Bank Negara Malaysia on your 10 cent coin is on show when you hold the coin to the tread, it means it’s time to change your tyres. But did you not know that there is an even better fool proof test you can carry out without the use of coins? A

Sometimes, don’t you feel like getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life to travel around Malaysia, or even better South East Asia in an overland adventure? Well, if you are interested in a getaway by living in a cool vehicle, why not make it a Pinzgauer 718M 6x6? Perfect. The Pinzgauer or Pinz for short was developed by the Austrian manufacturer, Steyr-Daimler-Puch and its name came from an Austrian horse breed of the same name. The Pinz was heavily favoured by many armies around the

You might have come across this scenario while sending your car to your neighbourhood tyre shop – after the job is done, whatever it may be, the tyre shop will try to upsell you nitrogen gas inflation for your tyres. You will mostly be shown some materials or be told that it is better to fill your tyres with pure nitrogen rather than regular air. You will also be told that nitrogen-filled tyres will save you fuel, prolong the lifespan of your tyre, require lesser maintenance, and are better for

They’re the only part connecting you to the road yet so easily forgotten. Tyres are one of the most important parts of your car, so take care of them through these three simple steps and they’ll take care of you. 1. Don’t forget to inflate! It’s a simple tip but one of the most important things you’ll need to know - inflate your tyres! It’s super simple - just know the basics of your tyre size and follow the correct pressure guide, usually located on the driver’s door pillar. It’s just a matter

It is amazing how much time and internet juice is spent trying to explain that tyre choices matter. Not too long ago we made a post about why when it comes to tyres you get what you pay for. And it is good to see that for many of our readers, it isn’t news to them. This time around let’s outline a suggestion that may make people care more about the tyres they buy. And for that, we will use an economic theory known as the Diamond-Water Paradox, or better known as the Paradox of Value. The Diamond

I don’t know about you, but tyres are a fascinating subject to me. I spend hours researching on what sort of tyre should I go for next. Full-on performance rubber? Or maybe I should give my back and ears a break and opt for a more comfortable option. One thing is for sure, I will be splashing my cash for one from a manufacturer of repute.

Tyres. It's a longtime topic. Yes, other parts exist, yes they are equally important but tyres are the only parts connecting you to the road. Which is why it's very important to make the right choices, especially in a market that's absolutely flooded with subpar-quality tyres for not much cheaper, really. Recommendations Not all tyres are equal, so in this guide we'll list five main tyre categories and recommend one tyre for each size. The prices are taken from several online tyre shops. For thi

Bila 'start' enjin kereta, perkara pertama yang kebanyakan kita akan lihat dulu ialah lampu amaran kereta. Kadangkala kita nampak tanda amaran kereta menyala, tapi tahukah anda apa maksud simbol pada meter kereta anda? Jika anda langsung tak tahu maksud simbol pada meter kereta, jangan risau, kita tolong. Tak mengejutkan bila ada yang selalu abaikan saja bila lampu amaran kereta dah berkelip atau menyala. Bila kereta rosak tiba-tiba, barulah nak kelam kabut. Walaupun ada beberapa lampu amaran ke

How many of you are aware of the warning lights on your car's meter cluster? You're not alone if you don't have a slightest clue at all. Unsurprisingly, some of us choose to ignore the warning lights entirely until the car eventually breaks down, and by the time that happens, it is a little too late to cry. While some warning lights may seem unimportant, it’s good to know what they mean and how to react next. Usually, warning lights illuminate whenever there is a problem with one or more of your

Here is the twist; load up the rear bed with solid crates weighing over 1,000 kilograms (1 tonne), which coincidentally, is the maximum permissible load allowed on a pickup truck. To ensure everything complies with the target, Isuzu Malaysia even send the D-Max for a thorough PUSPAKOM inspection to ensure
