Lets talk about new vehicles

I’ve often thought Honda and Subarus for some reason install horns that nobody can hear. Is there a Japanese regulation limiting the decibels to under 30? Meanwhile the most diminutive German car is louder than a Who concert in 1976.

Example brand new CR-Vs

Did you know water freezes at 39F in Germany and Japan

Yes! When I attended the worldwide ice resurfacing machine convention in Miami, back in the 90’s, a couple German and Japanese reps said their ice is maintained at -1.7 C, whereas you guys do -6.67 C. They had to adjust for the different freezing temps that they have. Not only that their horns are retrofitted with muzzles in Japan and beefed up in Germany!

The tires on the Accord are the Hankook Kinergy GT . OEM

Now I put the
HANKOOK Kinergy PT H737
on my old Mitsubishi and they were rated for 90k miles. The rubber compound was hard as a rock and did impart harshness to the suspension. This may be the Accord issue but I would have to research it... If that was the case it would be a fail on Honda because they engineered the package

Would be a rare OEM tire that makes it remotely near 90k.

The only OEM tire I have personally had that was top quality were the Continentals that came on the Passat.

Had some Kumhos on a Kia that were racing slicks at 29k and as you know the Goodyears on the Stang blow chunks too.

Jetta came with Falkens and they were okay especially considering it was an economy car.

The ones i put on the Mitsubishi were after the junk Nexens and not OEM.
What i was saying is I don't know the difference between the two Hankook tires...I do know the Accords are listed at 500 TW and no.idea on the Mitsubishi rating and could look it up as the vehicle is no longer here

Wow TW was 860 on the
HANKOOK Kinergy PT H737
Crazy
