Just did 30k service at puchong jaya branch yesterday, Only managed to recorded 24k km @18 months. Changed oil, fuel filter, spark plug, coolant.. fees rm400++, luckily is free.
Cvt car summore got hill assist, vsc the car wont be sporty like manual car no matter how u tuned la...treat the pickup delay as safety features lo...my previous zero delay persona se always tend to bang pondok, divider 1, but my new persona touch wood still free from bumper scratches after driving for 1 1/2 years.
Ya the silverstone tyre so so but if u bawak biasa ok jer...yg tak ok tu is when after 2 years the tire wear ady then no choice must change. So if tyre still new dun waste money la tukar so fast, unless u r rich la dun mind to spend rm1000 to change better tyre mentah mentah. Race type tyre like ps3 or re03 of coz better handling grip but they will wear even faster. I will change all 4 to 195 55 r15 cc6 when my silverstone rosak but now still ok never skid before, just maybe im old man la driving slow not fast & furious as u guys youngster...
i agree with you, simply driving the silverstone is just fine, aside from the noise. entry level tryes are around rm200 per piece, it makes total economical sense not to trade in those tyre.

Well, the car is connected to the ground through 4 tires. If the tires not gripping the ground, all sorts of active safety not going to help you. when things go wrong, you can only trust airbag and hpf. The repair cost could easily be even more expensive.
I dun mind spending more on tires regardless they wear out fast or not because i don't throw corners and i don't drive a lot. All my tires except goodyear duraplus is changed because reach 4 yrs lifespan before i ran out of threadmarks (including michelin xm2).
During my days with silverstone, my car skidded on plenty occasion. When driving under rain, when braking and etc. Doesn't even have to be heavy rain, as long as the floor is wet, and you are not braking gradually, the tires will lockup.
Had enough of these and i told myself, highest priority investment in car, will always be a good set of tires. Other things, i can live with. Malaysia is constantly raining so wet grip in tires is important, something that silverstone is severely lacking in. It's not the high speed corner performance that i seek, but ability to brake in any condition (dry or wet) in case of emergencies.
is true tyre affects ride quality.
