oh u change to potenza ke... i thought u are in PP2... haha... RE030 is not that good for me... i rather change to Hankook V12... how much u bought it??? mind to share???
well PP2 stiff sidewall means the sidewall of the tire is kinda hard... as it is for better handling and highspeed maneuver, your original size 175/65 R14 is a bit softer in the sidewall... if your car suspension is soft and tire also soft sidewall then it will give you more comfort but handling in corners and highspeed will be quite bad... the response of steering will be slightly slower about 1 sec... so harder sidewall tire give you more confident on handling and highspeed maneuver...
understand??? if not i think we need to meet up then can show u the difference of Vios 1st and 2nd Gen suspension...

is the feel only no problem with the brake had that feeling b4, as i'm on PP2 last time when i change to V12 i had that feeling on the 1st week also... but later it feels fine and it is braking well..

110km/h... haha low profile... btw i don think bridgestone is more comfort further more Potenze = Performance... u should go the tires that i recommend but remember u will loose on handling...
i think 195/55 R15 is ideal for u... coz it will give you a lil handling with comfort... hmmm i think best for you to change to 195/55 R15 which has Michelin Primacy LC, Falken 912, Yokohoma C Drive... it is more comfort...
there is no such things as 15" rim is design for what braking system... our Wiralution is using drum brake behind wat and they are using 16" and 17" rim also... haha even some Vios J is on 16" already then some Vios G or S is on 17" already so???

yup those 3 tires that i listed there is comfort tires for bigger vehicle... Primacy LC & C Drive if not mistaken only from 15 and above... 912 from 185/60 R14...

well stick to 15" for better handling for Dugong as it's suspension a lot off ppl complain it is a bit too soft... but i still see it's unit registered per week is top of the chart of non-local brand haha...

got this size but it is oversize... please stick to 195/55 R15... it think that will fits u well...
just use comfort tire but no Continental CC1 and Yokohama A Drive... tat is too basic... Primacy LC, Yokohama C Drive and Falken 912 i think it will suits Vios better than those entry level tires...

i think is the squeaking sound from the belt after it got splash of water on it...

Again 195/60 R15 cannot fits u wheel ok... it is over size when u consult to tire consultant... is a no!!!!
how much do you put it??? 34 PSI in front and 32 PSI at the back??? should be around there woh... my Vios 1st Gen also using that pressure...

yes it will improve quite noticeably for PP2, is it a no for Primacy LC if yours is Dugong... coz Dugong suspension is already comfort if you put some more comfort tire it will be bad in corner handling and high speed maneuver...

yes McRyan is correct!!! that is a facelift so it is consider a same generation... pls read properly, new Vios for all the EBD and BA where old vios don have and the design also different... do you need everything to be same??? read Waja CPS and also Persona CPS spec... it is almost the same so it is the model??? duh...

1stly if you talk to a SA of Toyota those ppl will laugh at u if you mention it is the 3rd Gen... whole world also know that facelift cannot be consider as generation change... a bunch of ppl did not represent of the whole world... please go for Wikipedia for generation chart...

if not mistaken is either 5.0j or 5.5j... very slim only

yes... it is not that nice la... after 50% wear... still ok b4 that but careful in the rain/wet...
u need to upgrade to 15" if you are on 14" currently... so it is up to u... PP2 is ur safest bet... u cannot put directional tires onto ur wheels coz later u will scold me "y the tire noise is too loud"... haha

Bro we are talking about Malaysia... yes the Chasis got previous model on it already, but it is not in malaysia... so it is 2nd Gen in VIOS...

it will able to fit in... no worries... but when i see it, is like they are not enough air cos the tire width is slightly wider than the rim... i'm using 195/55 R15 with my Ori 15" rim which is only 5.5jj which is the min requirement fitting in for 195 series of tire...
generally 195 tires fit 5.5jj ~7jj of rims, 185 fits 5jj~6.5jj (if not mistaken)
so it is up to ur own preference

cannot be wat... ur alignment is ok but not ur wheel balancing leh... maybe ur tires got problem also... take to a tire shop and see... try Kee Hin (Michelin shop) at Old Klang Road... they are quite good in this... my Vios 140~160 also no shaking but normally max is around 140 only...

no la... may be u got my tone wrongly... or yea i might be a bit rough on word... I'm sorry if it hurts ur feeling...
Cheers...

BTW what brake pads u change??? from ur RM520 i guess it is the V Belt and the rear brake pad... for that price is ok la... not that expensive... front brake pad will cost u a bomb, around RM350 for that... but it is nice to use compare to 3rd Party... less brake powder and also very good braking power, it is from Akebono (not sure the spelling is correct or not) Japan...

get ready around er... RM1.2k for the 80k change... the package and Flush ATF and my V-belt it cost me around RM1250...
wheels and air-cond matter u can take it outside... if not check at Denso at Glenmarie for air-cond matters... they sub-out this 2 categories to outer resources... haha...

bro... they should not sell local mades already... that was the last statement from a SA in Sg. Rasau Klang UMW toyota service center... when is ur service btw??? i asked about 2 weeks ago... which branch do you wen? UMW or Franchise... all parts that is sold and fixed into ur car is qualify by UMW Toyota Malaysia, outside parts they will not help u to install it... i tried to ask them to install my iridium spark plug into my Vios rejected...
the local made quality is not that good... a lot of powder and the brake pad wear will not last that long also... imagine front brake pad and last 60k... now my wheel always kena wash or wipe quite some numbers or powder...

FYI normal 80k service is around RM850 but flushing ATF another RM200+... so i change m V belt that time also that's y a lil more expensive... great to hear that u have changed urs now... rear brake pad not that expensive... around RM250 i think...

err... RM200 to change all i think... not much as others car design... try to ask SC... ask them to list down parts by parts price then the labour for the change... so u know mah... u can just call the SC branch and ask...

congrates...

they all don scare die one... floating already still drive that fast... like my fren 160km/h with his Myvi... scary...

well it maybe manufacturing defects from the other branch... but still ppl is like bashing the brand haha... coz a lot of Toyota cars sold they are not happy... y outdated technology car also can out beat their so call high tech car...

the whole mirror gone or just the cover for the signal is spoiled...
replacement Ori not cheap leh... try to ask whether can replace the signal cover or not...

i'm not sure leh have to ask sorry... as i'm not driving the 2nd Gen of Vios

bro... look at ur recommended pressure at the door... 175/56 R14 should be around 210 kPA should be around 31 PSI... that is cold pressure then expect it to be around 2~3 psi higher (recommended by Michelin to pump 2~3 PSI higher when u drive more than 1km from cold start)... so 210 kPA os a bit low... drive to petrol station nearby add around 33 PSI for front and 31 PSI for back it should be ok...
try out and let us know

*Bro i thought i change to 15" rim already???
