question. EB comes with 16inch rimm and EB Standard comes with 15inch rimm.

Now, my friend used to have a wira special edition with 16inch rimm. He told me that the car is far more stable, but SUPER makan minyak. When he change it back to the standard 15inch rimm like other wira, save alot petrol.

Is it the same for EB? Can't tell since it comes with Turbo.
*

EB and EB std both come with 16 inch rim.. normal exora is 15inch...

I got waja with te37sl 215 45 17 n OEM 195 65 15..in term of fuel consumption with my te37sl less fuel con compare to oem due to lightweight.if want to go for replica find almost similar dimension with rigidity design(exp required). Tire also play some role here for your fuel consumption n speed + safety..normal Silverstone, falken,dunlop can't beat eagle f1 asy2 n ps3...one directional  vs asymmetrical..I go for asym.but with above quality u hv to see your own pocket size smile.gif it worth later on..in term of stable its combination of all..using 15 also can be stable with 195 size
*
im also from waja before. from 195/55/r15 inch stock to 205/50/r16 inch te37 the fc is not different. but when change to 205/45/r17 inch ssr type F the FC suffer abit. so i think the same with EB. up 1 size shud not be a problem. and the width of tyre also effect this. not too wide from stock its okay. as per EB the stock is 205/55/r16. i upgrade to 215/45/r17...

u r right stock is 195 55 15
yup tyre width also play important role but from 195 to 215 should be fine rather than 225:
+/- is help from your rim weight/performance part (weight reduction)..thats why my waja fine(lighter if not mistaken <1.5kg each rim with tyre) with 215 45 17 rather than oem 15 combine with 195 65 15

wanna go for 18 & 19 also can but better buy original or bring weighing scale to measure your rim weight before and after change at rim/tyre wshop  smile.gif  performance tyre for 18 & 19 (deep pocket)

btw bro with your 45 series 17 on your eb do u have a lot of gap between wheel arch to your tyre rubber or u already change to lowered spring/adjustable?
*
nop. only 2mm smaller than stock gap. rclxms.gif now still on normal spring and abs.

that's mean No need to go for 50 series to close the small gap its already smaller 2mm  thumbup.gif
however it will be comfortless for newborn
btw bro 2mm or 2cm? sweat.gif
*
oh i mean the diameter. the stock tyre 205/55/r16 diameter is 632mm. now im using 215/45/r17 diameter is 625mm. so its smaller than stock tyre in diameter by 7mm. a bit compromise on the comfort side since the sidewall is less. =)

http://www.carbase.my/car-comparison?id=2S...Xufr,2Qku88KG5c,

as you can see, the standard is 15inch RIM. and also for standard, it's 86KG lighter compare to the Bold edition. I also wonder why, probably partially because of the 15 inch lighter compare to 16?
btw, why you wanna change r16 to r17 for your EB? better stability? not worry will consume more petrol?
*
that spec is wrong. exora bold standard use steel 16 inch rim. i changed to 17 because of many tyre choice compared to 16 inch. and the price of tyre is almost the same between 16 and 17.. attached are the brochure from proton showing the std is 16 inch.

My stock tyres still feel quite good up to now. Just hit 7000km yesterday smile.gif Although I have read a few comments on these tyres that they aren't good.
Just wondering, for those of you who changed the tyres, what brand and variant did you change to? Also, how do you guys determine the quality / performance / comfort of a specific set of tyres? Is there like a website for tyre reviews or something? Thanks in advance biggrin.gif

i go for achilles ATR sport. its quite ok for an indonesian brand. price of 16 inch and 17 inch is around 2XX to 300 per piece..

What modifications did you do to your EB?
I just sent in my EB to Proton Mutiara Damansara branch for 5000km service today. I forgot to tell them I don't want the X1R additive doh.gif
Yes the fan continues to run after you turn off the engine. And yes I get that every morning too. So it's all very normal. The fan will stay on longer especially when I have been doing spirited driving smile.gif
Ouch. Is the damage obvious? I feel your pain haha

Guys...

I already got my EB Std yesterday. So far no complains (touchwood). Immedietly sent my car to accessories shop to install :-

1. Rear spoiler.
2. Rear chrome lining.
3. Chrome door handles
4. Chrome inner door handles
5. Side moulding.
6. Exora chrome (with blue led light) scuff plates.
7. 'Carbon' sticker door pillars.
8. 16" oem Proton Preve sport rims.

All in inc installation : RM 1620.00

Next project :

1. Car safety tint.
2. Semi leather seat cover.
3. OEM Fog light with OEM switch panel.
4. DVD audio system.
5. Spray the side mirror with body color.

I read in the manual's book stated engine oil recommended 10W-30 SL or higher. So i did searched in website, Petronas Mach 5 mineral oil hv 10w-30 grade oil!  thumbup.gif So maybe for 1k and 5k services i will use the Mach 5. FYI, 10w-30 will improve the FC.

* Where can i buy the luggage net?? Anyone bought from outside? TQ
*
can u give a more detailed price for item 1, 2, 3,4 and 5? for my next project. about the OEM Fog light with OEM switch panel, i heard sumone can do dat around rm300..

those who got the 4G huddle...

rm60 credit per month... can carry forward if not finished using? coz so far, i think best deal is still the VP25... can buy 2x.

anyone converted to postpaid plan? do we still get the montly credit? post paid plan... cheaper. the super pack 48 (i think). no contract.

just realised... huddle charger is miniUSB, not micro. ouch... extra charger to carry. thought i could also use my powerbank on this thing... looks like i can't.

oh ya... 2nd tank of petrol. the FC...

So, how's the performance? brows.gif
It happens to me on rare occasions. Twice so far in 3~4 months ownership.
How often have you encountered this?
*
the performance is good. around all the way to top speed. the 2nd stretch of LPT2 is quite bumpy but the most of the time the ride n handling is all good. thumbup.gif
