You mean 195/60R15? hmm.gif
I used to pump around 34 PSI (235KPA) for the front, and 32 PSI (220KPA) for the rear. Eventually I reduced it to 32/30 F/R cause the my tyres no longer gripped that well plus they were still a little too soft to corner as hard as I would like to.

yaya 195/60R15, so normally hw much u would recommend?

QUOTE(J-keyLudacris @ Jun 23 2015, 09:53 PM)
max 220

Mostly front 220 [32] ( due to engine heavy)
rear 210 [30]

if 220 nt mistaken, the tyres look like nt enough air pressure inside, that's why i always pumped 250 fo four tyres tongue.gif tongue.gif

Find something that you're comfortable with. Otherwise if you insist, 32/30 PSI for front and rear respectively.
The R3 rims look really nice to me. But they are 16" in size, so you will need to get new tyres as well.

regarding the sport rims, will there accept trade in ah?? i mean trade in the old tyres and rims as well... but for rm1900 worth anot?? the wheel assy only include rims without tyres shocking.gif

before actually testing persona on highway drive, I imagine that the car itself will be quite stable even though exceed 140km/hr, but just so dissappointed, the car will shaky and unstable after starting 140km/hr, or just mine? btw mine is persona sv, bought last year

Many factor will affect the car's stability. On stock form, usually most local crap Plotong only balance up to 110kph, which is the highest legal speed limit. Given the rubbish Cibaistone tayar, if you balance it properly, yes you can still enjoy smooth sail over 180kph(I didn't mention you can brake on time or save you from swaying away).

Come on bro, let's face the truth. You're paying SUPER VALUE for a SOHEM VALUABLE Plotong car. In these price range, Persona is 1 of the best handling car you can find. May I know which car were you comparing the stability of above 140kph? Handling is very personal feelings, I don't know how to read your justification. For some sohem like myself who used to ride a Ganjil 660 at 120kph(I guess that's the top speed it will go), Persona is God like kinda stability despite tayar bunga habish laugh.gif

biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif i understand for the car is definitely best bang, i bought it with discount 5%, so sv auto around rm43k...
but other than stability, there are actually quite many noises despite it was newly bought last year

the problem once I first drove my car starting from 0km, gearbox mounting spoiled (i was like wow fantastic baby), nvm got it fixed with warranty, no need to pay anything, but then again anotehr problem, the wiper link assy didn't screw up tight, two wipers hit up together, one of my wiper arm terus bengkok d, lazy of going sc, i fixed it myself after that nvm, and then again some sort of stupid ticking sound came out from my dash board there, still wondering what kind of sound was that, really fxxking annoying....nvm, not a big problem though, but what will a normal people think when they first bought a new car (no ppl ever used it) with this lots of problems...

what i can said is, definitely no more potong for me, and for the tyres part, i guess because of the cheap silver batu brand might cause it to be unstable at the speed of 140km/hr or higher, one more, my tyres rims are so dusty and dirty even though just drove at city for 1 or 2 days, as my bro told me might be due to the cheap disc rotor used in sv model, perhaps cool2.gif

I only drive till 145-150 for now. So far so good. Not shaky at all. Got mine early this year sv too.
The last time  drove frens almaera at 120 whole steering shaking. I guess high speed persona for me better. Just the plastic noise. Regarding the dust on the brake I think should be the brake pads.

do u experienced any problems like mine? like the rims easily get dusty n dirty

Yes I do. dont bother me much at times. just that my passenger sit above the aircond hole there is making very loud noises when i travelling in bumpy roads( example yellow line on road). ill try send it for inspection during my 20k svc smile.gif
Bad QC i have to admit. regarding after sales i think sometimes depending on the centre u go. i have quite ok experience with the after sales svc.
I dont feel vios is super good. its just a more decent car compared to plotong.

wow. i didnt know about the engine valve leak.
VIOS owner! are u the otai david talking about?

mingwei1992 is right. Dirty tayar is caused by rubbish berakpad. U may change to some higher metal compound berakpad, but then later the metal berakpad will grind your disc, then you komplen rubbish Plotong give rubbish disc. So, doesn't matter lar since you hate Plotong already, it doesn't serve any purpose already. U may carry this piece of junk for awhile, probably until you have enough money then buy a VIOS. I bet that will carry you to an entirely new region of satisfucktion. Don't get me wrong, I hate Plotong as much as you do, it's just that I got no choice but to stuck with them. They got the worst resell value car, cheapest made material, and worst finishing that even harsh to compare with China made rubbish truck. It's just that, it's still cheaper then a China car. Part wise? I don't think Plotong is that bad. However, the money you paid for, is seriously lack of AFTER SALES SERVICE and ULTRA BAD FINAL PRODUCT QUALITY CONTROL. So, either you patiently bear with it, try to DIY fix those minor crap bit by bit and enjoy the car instead of resenting. One day, just 1 fine day you save enough then go bai a VIOS and ditch the Crapro, come back and tell us, we'll celebrate for you thumbup.gif

p/s: Oh btw, drive it harder, soon you'll discover the engine valve cover start to leak oil and spill all over your engine bay. It happens to all Kampro a.k.a Crapro engines regardless which model/variant.

p/s2: Oh btw of btw, there's a well known otai bought his banana 2nd day engine blow(no he's not even driving fast, the crap engine just jammed and died on him with no reason). That sohigh bear with that piece of lemon for years, spent his heart and soul on it, fix car price already more then the car value he paid for. In the end, he pushed the car over the cliff and went bought a white VIOS whistling.gif

being advised not to buy this car before really owned it, said that the car will be easier to get burn if engine crashed (i mean accident) , btw not really a fans of sedan (especially vios and city) nor hatchback, most favourite still goes to SUV or Pickup truck, but too sad i'm just a poor fag biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
