Just changed my 4 donuts to Michelin XM2. Good rubber for dry and wet grip. Not too far out from Michelin PS3 though

Hehe RM260 per donut. So total RM1040 for 195/60/R15.
I think its worth it since it's quiet tire even at 120km/h.
First time I hear persona's engine sound rev below 2k rpm

Tested during heavy downpour last weekend. Very grippy tire.
I did tried going over deep water puddle on purpose at 90km/h
No hydroplanning at all

No trade-in value. I used my previous Conti Contact 1 till my front worn out becoming semi-slick tire while my rear tire becoming near F1 tire. No patterns at all lol The CC1 tires lasted me only 30,000km Hope Michelin XM2 last me at least 40,000km

I changed in Melaka

Agreed on this. I change from Castrol Edge to Petronas Syntium 5000 0w-40. Engine feels feather light even reaching near 10,000km interval. Quieter too Avoid Shell if possible. After 4000km, you'll feel that the engine become sluggish.

Ummm the shop used to be along National Semiconductor/Infineon Batu Berendam road there.
Corner shop beside Sungai Putat. Then they relocated beside Giant Hypermarket, same road as Nasi Padang Kota.

Wiper aaa..... I changed mine to DuraEdge. Silicon based wipers.
Expensive but damn worth it. Been using two years and never change once.
It wipes water dry, no smudges on the windscreen, even during heavy downpour.
No screeching noises on windscreen btw.

If you keep continuing hard driving with shoulderless tire, the middle thread will go also.
Mine from shoulderless to slicks hahahahaha

This I agree! Most people love speeding on straight roads. But when comes to corner, most of them will hard braking like there's no tomorrow and slowly gliding out of corner

Hmm got a good point there. Last month I went up cameron, can't keep up with Alphard. Corner super fast. But end results is all his passenger vomit when reach up there

Lack of power? Hmm Xenon's TurboKit looks poisonous but hell, how to service the car later? lol

Want to know your car's handling limit? Very easy. Find a HUGE roundabout. Preferable with less traffic. Go around it and increase the speed gradually. You'll know the limit soon enough. It's safe too btw. Back off throttle if it's screeching too much

Vccy, your car is auto/manual?

Well, if she's willing to pay you for original bumper/parts at Proton's Service Center, go ahead.
If she's not willing, aiming for 3rd party parts aka cheaper cost, insurance claim go go!

Xan, ABS didn't kick in?

So... according to your friend's logic, if my car next service interval is 5000km, and my odo meter shows 50,000km... am I screwed up?

You need to add up your service interval to the exisiting odometer.
For example, if 5000km next service, your current meter already 50,000km ---> next service is 55,000km!
