Reaching 60k soon... will you go back to Proton Service Center for major service??

Last time 40k major service, the labour charge was RM 120.

Planning to change my Persona tyre (195/60/R15) after 60,000 km.
Thinking Continental CC5 or Michelin XM2/PS3.
Anyone has latest pricing?

Pricing I dont have.

CC5 so far so good, eco tyre, dry road still ok, if fast enter a corner , u'll hear some tyre sounds, tyre is slipping. wet road if u go on a water, U car will move to 1 side.

I'm using cc5 195/60/15 atm, still have 60-70 % flower, but I'll change it very soon to bridgestone potenza re003 or michelin ps3. Both of the tyre have wet and dry road review and I also tested it on my fren's car.

afaik, ps3 don't have 195/60/15 size... they do have 195/55/15

5 month I have been driving a second hand PE and I really like this car since day 1 I owned it. Of course there are some minor defects but with a RM27k car pricing that I paid, the repair cost are just nothing. Handling wise it is as same as my father in law Nissan Sylphy. I was thinking, why people paid such high price of rm100k for Sylphy but eventually u can get it with minimum price for a persona.

car age when you bought with 27K? High line/medium/base line?

I recently switched to Yokohama Advan DBs 195/60 and have done about 200km or less on them. At speeds below 60KM/H on smooth/good condition roads it isn't much quieter than my last tyres, but the tyre noise remains just as low even over 140KM/H. The harshness of driving over rough roads is also dampened quite significantly by the Advan DBs.

As for the shop I bought it from, unfortunately it wasn't as I was expecting it to be. I feel kinda disappointed cause I was expecting more based on the reviews that were given by many of its customers. I had the balancing (off and on car) of the front* tyres re-done at my favourite shop at Old Klang Road (Kee Hin) for lower than what that shop wanted. It was as if I was buying all four tyres from Kee Hin. *Luckily there is still a saving grace for the shop, i.e. the people running the business are very friendly and sociable. I'd probably still return to buy tyres from them if I am buying anything other than Michelins, but I'd probably skip the alignment process and bring it elsewhere since it isn't provided for free, and since I've already got a tyre shop I can trust to do the alignment to my liking.

P/S: Would be using Michelin PS3s if not for the fact that 195/55R15 tyres doesn't look nice at all on Personas that haven't been lowered.

Next tyres upgrade would probably be after I change to 16" rims, or maybe 195/55R15 tyres if I lower my car.

Kee Hin charged me XM2 195/60R15 RM265 each including GST... ohmy.gif
