Great pics Lester, I'm sure you'll love driving it :)

PS, what psi are those tyres at?

Damn  :mrgreen:, stop posting new threads with the photos of new i30, I'm too desperate to buy it now.
I have started thinking over selling my car, adding money I possess, going to a bank for a credit and so on  :D
I have even printed out a poster with prices and packs

My choice would be Comfort 1.6AT, but not a single Russian new i30 seems to be equipped with navigation and rear camera  :undecided:

They should be at 32 psi according to the sticker but I've not yet checked as I've been having to much fun driving it today.

Will check later when I put it to bed.

They are Hankook Kidergy Eco Kontrol.

Just check their web site and I think this is them:

Beautiful car mate, well chuffed for you!!

I think it is a feature of the Eco tyres that they look under pressurised, I often look at mine and think they look soft, but you check them and they are fine.

Just checked and they are all showing at 34psi on my cheapo hand guage.

I've an electronic one in the garage so I'll check again tomorrow after they have cooled down overnight.

Yes

The base model - Classic - have steels but the Active and Style have alloys.

Just tried to post but keep get thrown out.

I think they need to be reduced in size which I'll do tomorrow when I've a bit more time.

Actually, I thought they looked over pressurised, hence my comment. Seemed a bit "bloaty", if you see what I mean

it seems that Russian i30 is deprived of navigation, cruise control, rear camera and some other features   :blubber: (additional turn lights on side mirrors as well as electrically foldable side mirrors are only available in the most expensive car, so it is Style 1.6AT)
Opel Astra 1.6AT and Skoda Octavia 1.6AT beats Hyundai in this, given the prices are the same

Nice looking car Lester - but I am surprised that the rear parking sensors are not body coloured - mine are.

Also the Active demo car at my dealership is the same colour as yours and the sensors are body coloured on that one.

Really smart looking car.
I'm with Shambles. I thought they looked over pressure (the tyres) but if they are some new "eco" design I can understand that they wouldn't bag at the bottom like others do.

Tip: Lester, don't take them to the place that tried to spray your old car to get them colour coded will you ... :whistler:

I'm starting to think the new shape i30 looks brilliant in any colour  :Shocked:  Hyundai must like that colour a lot as most road tests and photos on the net have been that colour.. (love the car m8 .. really itching to see one in the flesh now)  :mrgreen:

P.S. I'd leave the tyres at 34 Psi if I was you Lester  :goodjob:

I always think that the bloaty look makes them appear under pressure, particularly at the bottom, they seem to protrude a lot from the alloys.  As I say the ix20 is the same, but whatever, it would appear to be a characteristic of the Eco tyre.

I'm sure I read in the booklet that on the blue car they are black.

I thought it was odd not to be same colour. 

I make a feedback comment to dealer as I'm calling later in the week to get some touch up paint.
