6JJ - The best is still use back 185 size.
You want better performance in term of what? If want better in cornering or high speed search for UHP/Performance tires, if comfort search for touring tires. There are tires which is same size but different design/material for different purpose. If normal ride without much modification, you only see more negatives if change to bigger wider tires.

Thanks for the info. I will get 185 tyres then. Should I get 185 55 or 185 50? Any recommendation on tyres? Saw ppl recommending Dunlop D06. Thanks.

Just use back original size if everything is original. If not mistaken yours original should be using 185 55 R15

Dunlop D06 is consider as local budget tires, I did not got good experience for Dunlop budget tires.
For me would better to top up a bit go up to at least Falken or direct up to premium level like Michelin, Goodyear or Bridgestone.

E.g. Goodyear, if 185/55R15 is giving triplemax only and more expensive price compare to 195/50R15 or 195/55/R15 that are giving triplemax 2.

Bro, expensive a bit for short term or you want negative issues for long term?
If buy the wrong size and felt not satisfy you will loss the tire value at least 50% once on the road if want to trade back.
Besides that wider tires also will impact on fuel consumption, in long term the cheaper cost wont justify the savings from the tires if include the extra fuel usage over the years. Take example each tires last 40,000km, if each km extra RM0.01 fuel added due to wider tires that is almost RM400 extra.
The savings from the wider tires can get you RM400?

I used less than 5000km for the past 2 years. Around 13KM/L only. Probably I will change my tyre after it expired and hard more to wear and tear. And not because the minor saving on tyre cost. Just not sure why there is no Triplemax 2 option for 185/55R15. Thanks bro for ths information.

BTW, tires can last way over 5years if found no crack or in good condition.
Max can even go until 10 years.

The difference between 195/55 and 185/55 is very small. In fact most saga users go for 195/55 as it is a more common size (easier to find, more variety and cheaper) and also little bit comfier (I can feel the car is marginally more comfortable with 195/55).

For fuel consumption, I don't even notice the increase in fc. Perhaps there is small increase like you mentioned but it is very small (400 over few years is acceptable for most people I believe). The trade-off is that 195/55 should be slightly grippier and hence slightly safer.

I guess it is up to users: slightly safer and slightly more comfortable vs slightly higher fc and slightly heavier throttle. For me all of these are very small differences most people won't notice it. It all come down to 195/55 having more options and people can get what they want.

Engineer spend hours/days mix & match different tyre size for the best balance from comfort, fuel economy, cost & safety reasons.
If tyre size big & cheap why not all just use the bigger size tyre and fit.. Everything need to calculate/consider from sport rim/tyre width/weight, suspension settings, especially newer car safety features like ESC everything are calibrated base on the original tire size come fitted.

Maybe a lot of people think aiya just bigger/wider/smaller 1 size no issue one, but when the negative part/issue come hit later who gonna be the sucker? The tire shop or the owner? Tire shop just wash hand as you just want cheap tires unless you are well educated on the risk.

BTW if your ride is still within warranty changing to other tire size can void your suspension warranty (Includes Steering rack, lower arm, absorbers, driveshaft) worse scenario gearbox warranty also can void if the SC really go into details. Regarding the warranty issue, few of my friends already kena especially when steering rack or lower arm got issues warranty claim got rejected due to tires size not original. Go back tire shop complain, all wash hand. FYI, steering rack is not cheap to replace or repair especially those newer electric type.

Noted. That is why I am asking sifus here. From the specs. 6JJ Min can use 175 and recommended 185-195. Max 205.

BTW. Continental EC5 good? My local shop quoted me rm230 for 1.
*
Continental should be CC6 model.
For that budget of over RM2XX i would opt for Michelin XM2+
I believe should be around 250 range/pcs.
