If its like a hammering sound then thats ABS kicking in. Skidded possibly because tyres loss grip due to wet road or hydroplaning. Iriz stock tyres are not good with wet roads. I did take a risk flying in the rain because I was in a rush yesterday but it did hold well enough(I keep long distance between the car in front and mine and also avoid puddles).

seriously. no wonder despite braking so hard and feelling the tyres stopped, the car seem to like have a "gliding" force forwards... and I kept like 2 sedan cars distance from the front car, the gliding duration was even long enuf for my mind to realise "ok, im gonna get into an accident" then crashed... and pre accident feeling ain't pleasant.

before we proceed to explore on the possibilities, are you still on iriz stock silverstone m3 tires? if yes, just change them. they are shit.

what ever ESP/abs means nothing if your tires are unable to maintain proper grip to the surface.

that, in the future try to keep a better distance from the car in front, and of course try to anticipate at least 2-3 cars ahead when possible.

yes, using stock tyres.
after this crappy incident, I really plan on doing so, can we get it changed outside or need authorised dealer or SC to do so? will void any warranty? and wat types tyres u may recommend?

Happened to me once. Luckily I hit those plastic barrier. So, the car unscratched. It's the stock tyres!! Changed them! I change mine to Dunlop j5

Normally people will recommend to upgrade rims to 15" as well but will void warranty for certain things. Not sure if you use the iriz 1.6 rims whether they will also void or not.

Yeap really happy with them. Though i noticed some rubbery bounce when initiating corners. maybe because the tyres are thicker than stocks, 60 instead of 55. Noise reduced, and no planing when speeding on water patches. I got them for rm663.20 after trading stocks (rm100) inc. alignment, N2 and balancing, oh and GST mad.gif .

Hi you can also try Michelin PS3. I change my stocks to the PS3 and it is superb. RM250 each and I trade in my stock tyres for RM80 each.

By the way, I have an Iriz 1.6MT and my tyres are 195x55 R15. I have the tyre changed at the Michelin centre at Old Klang Road.

Wanna ask, you guys air-cond temperature set at what level? Coolest? Or middle?

I used to set it at middle temp. It used to be cold enough, but lately it's losing it's cool. So now I set it to coolest (maximum). On shady or cold days, it gets really cold. But on sunny day it's just nice.. I feel the air-cond on Iriz not as cold as other Proton cars hmm.gif hmm.gif

Is it just me or you guys feel the same way?

Lowest on most days. On really hot days then 3 or 6 turns. Now that proton has tempered with my air cond, i still keep it on lowest but on rainy days/ morning/night its really cold especially since i point them to my hands so that i can cool em down as i drive. Thus mine *keep getting colder.

*due to proton tempering with something when I did not ask them to vmad.gif

Yeap, the aircond is cold. I normally drive early morning & night. So, it's always pointed to the left(least cold).

Sometimes i turn off the aircond and just on the fan with outside air intake.

If it is too cold, i switch to main vent + feet if im wearing shoes.

Always at the middle..on cooler days (rain/night) fan is at 1.. On hot sunny days, fan at 3... but temp always in the middle...

And yes, the aircond is the hottest amongst the newer Protons, but it doesn't have that drag when the compressor kicks in...so a good thing maybe? hmm.gif

Someone told me before that the esc light will remain on for a while due to it adjusting to the new tyre size. Upsizing the tyre will also reduce your acceleration rate at a very minor amount but of course provides better grip and more tyre choices to choose from.

It is on the same row as the Proton Dealer. Closer towards Mid-Valley end of Old Klang Road.
Kee Hin Tyre - I think nearby there is a Shell Station.
