l prefer manual to auto. it seems auto is giving more fc and less fun.

high fc
less power
less fun
the only pron for at is convenient

Hi guys,

when i brake hard during wet road, my car will skid left and right slight violently. Pretty dangerous if my car is close to the car in front..

Does your saga FL have that problem?

Thanks a lot.

what tyre you're using?

i'm not sure. i never change my tires before.

the ori tyres proton give is just a simple cheap tyre only
lowest spec
if u change to better tyres ...it would be better
every car company also like this...they won't gv u good tyres
plus how old is your tyre?..i think pretty old

my car is around 3 months old. so the tires are still quite new..
so its the tires problem?

check your brake balance

the other reason is because currently our cars dont have ABS and EBD yet

it doesn't happen during dry road..
now i'm kinda reluctant to drive during rainy days.

careful how much pressure you apply on the brakes..you might lock up the tires

But Proton gives Continental CC5 tyres for Inspira wor...including full spare tyre...

As for the skidding, i think it possible brake lock on wet roads?? I have encountered this b4 many years ago in an old Nissan 130Y....wet roads, going about 100km/h-110 km/h on Federal highway. Stupid 4WD suddenly jumps into my lane and i had to break hard causing it to swerve left/right....maybe lack of ABS is one such factor contributing to this.

After that, i dun dare go more than 80km/h on rainy days.

saga also full size spare tyre
but original tyre they provide us with silvertone low spec tyre...and another one i forgot what brand
not much traction and quiet noisy
now that my tyres thread gone already..i changed to conti CC1
it's more quiet and traction is quiet good but abit more expensive than the stock tyre
that's only front tyre using conti....rear tyre also change but use back stock brand one cuz rear wheel doesn't have to steer
