oem 185/55/15

i changed to 195/55/15

ok la, feel solid a bit, steady a bit.

185/60/15, is a bouncy and comfort soft feel i believe.

Using 195/55 since 6th month new car time. 195/55 gave little better handling with harder side walls.  185/60 more comfort.  Personal feeling la.  But regardless which size, best to take better tyres like mich.
I am using pro silvertech since changed the disc.  ok, so far.  Better than 'proton' as well as APM.
like that...just remove the rust and repaint it.
changed at 70k as heard some sound and tiny leaking.

hi lyn alza users, i saw in the 1st page the recommend brake pad is bosch power plus. other than this, got any others brand brake pad to be recommend?

I have clocked like 15k on the Mich XM2.  So far so good.  It is quieter than my previous Pirelli (P7 i think or older model) and Kumho (same 195/55).

During same cornering speed up Genting, Mich don't screech sound compared to the other 2.  Maybe the P1 is better now, I can't comment as not using.

Bridgestone...long time tak pakai..so not sure how now.

185/60 and 195/55, if you like a little better 'performance' and cornering..195/55 is better.  Our stock shocks are soft as we all know.  Don't overspeed especially over corners, know the limit and your limit too...Alza not a sport car..hehehe

*I just travel to Kuantan via Kuala Pilah route.. with dry and some wet... this mich is good for me.  Now it is due for alignment and balancing. 

Tyre wear is subjective bro.  Soft compound tyres would give better grip but wears out faster...if want to have longer wear period, hard tyres like s*stone or china brand would do, but sacrifice noise comfort and harsh ride.

Also if tyres that has bigger threads holes so called would be noisier.

My average mileage a year is about 20k km. and if a set of tyres provides 2-3 years...very good liao and a proper maintenance like alignment and rotation helps too.

I am a biker too, so choosing good grips tyres safer.

35k per month?...typo ke..u mean 35k per year? Hehehe

It is hard to get long mileage tyrea with good grip...if your tyre shop good, u can ask them on the records they have.

Priorities these so u know what comes first..then maybe easier to decide.
1. Grip
2. Comfort low noise
3. Mileage
4. Budget.

been using TOYO T1R 195/55/15

Do you guys also have this issue where alignment is perfect. But on a straight road if hit any small bumps or uneven road. Car will glide to left.

This issue acknowledged by SC ,now on queue list for HQ inspection.

Ya i guess this too, because most of time pull slightly left was in highway. If in this case later I instal front strut bar will it be help?

I see. It's ok at least now I know almost all Alza like the..

Ya...price is steep...if have 19mm ok also....

Mean you rotate 4 tyres by your own?

went to service today (42k km / 2 years)
the person told me brake pad left 30%
do i need to change it?

Ya..semi ceramic is better...bit finding a good one with good grip and affordable price seems hard.

Some claimed good grip but ended up the disk out easily.

So far i am okay with current 2nd disc and pads. As long as you know how well it grips, dont follow too near

Hi i off and on will input my info for you all references:

My FL Alza SE year 2014 (68k km), went through plantation quite often, pot holes, flood, mini van, etc...so worth for RM60k, 3yrs free labour services.

My replacement parts/modifications as below (all prices are based on my memory, it may different from now):

Brake pad brembo RM130 + labour RM10
4 pcs Dunlop Formula D05 15/55/195 RM170 each
Strut Bar UR RM120
9 din LCD + tweeter + undersear subwoofer RM2000
Bosch Wiper RM25 each
Headlamp bosch RM25 each

Conclusion: Worth buying, major service at 60k cost me less than RM300 wtf...cons abit noisy here and there, underpowered uphill abit, etc....rmb change tyres first that is very important...stock tyre noisy, no grip, puncture once, corner buang, immediate brake stressful....but after chnaged all the above good car to go...especially tyre the dunlop above is good clocked 8k so far, soft compound, silent, grippy, corner good, i can see this tyre can last longer than othersoft tyre normally is worth already.

Summary: Everything above can help you save time ask here and there already.

Thank you.

hi, may i know perodua alza use what grade of engine oil?
semi 10w40 or 10w30? or otherwise?

p/s:asking on behalf of friend

7.8l per 100km quite good dah...to save fuel, just ease off yr right foot and good maintenance.

I put in extractor as need better push. I did not track of this helps..but some said yes some not. FC depends on how u drive eventually

thanks, but if using 10w30, shud be fine right ?
