Hi guys, need your opinion on rim & tires. I've decided to change to sports rim, but still deciding either 15" or 16" rim. The reason is I just change my tire a few months ago (Goodyear Triplemax 195/55/15).
If I choose 16" rim, need to change to new tire also but if 15" rim can use same tire.
Need feedback here on anyone using 15" sports rim here
*
What feedback do you need?

I'm using aftermarket rim 6.5jj,

Using 195/55R15 tyres. Toyo TR1 currently

I changed my front tyre to CC6 today, then swap with rear tyre.

Noticed that when driving about 100+KM/h and steering slight left/right by following road, Traction Control light on and it seems auto apply break for me.

Not sure if it's skidding. 

Is this normal for new tyre? Will it improve?
*
That tyre sucks with grip.

It could be a tyre problem.

However, new tyre usually have a layer of wax. Not recommended on the first day of changing to lenjan the car.

Need to wait for that layer to be removed.

I found 15"×7jj & current tyres is 195/55/15
Is it good sizing as I cannot find 6.5jj
I tried to check the sizing online.. 195/55/15 is minimum size for 15"×7jj
Not so sure to proceed or find 6.5jj first...
*
For me 7jj for 195/55R15 would be a bit excessive.

If you wanna go for wider tyres, 16 inch wheels are much more suitable for 7jj.

Curb rash would also one of the potential issues as well.

I plan to insulate the cold air intake & also the battery with a heat shield wrap.

How do I dismantle the cold air intake? 😅

Preferably wanna do this DIY.

Anybody here tried doing this before?

Hey guys, just want to ask persona 2016 users on their 90k Mileage who services at Proton Service Centre.

I just got billed RM 2k for the following charges as per the image.

The service charges are a bit overkill? or it is normal?

The disc rotor & brake pad you can do it outside.

You didn't opt for free service option back then?

Is your car high mileage? I see water pump is mentioned as well

My car is about 4 years plus d. Mileage service is 90k km.

Free service I think only for the first 20k km and valid for labour only.

How often need to change water pump??
*
No idea on the water pump. Never had to change the water pump so far including this car.

Back in 2016-2017, got promo free service & warranty for 5 years or 100k km.

I took the offer back then so far no need to pay anything

Hey thanks for your comments.

For the N95 filter, I opted in myself actually.

For the brake pads, they told me after investigation, for safety reasons better change LOL. Being the noob in car parts and car maintenance in general, then agreed to it.

For the timing belt, yeah, usually it is 100k km need to change but i just find it strange that they put in so many things as necessary service.

Do the Proton Staff serving me gets a commission based on sales?

I just got a shock because the bill came up to RM 2k. This is Proton Bang. Not Mercedes Benz.
*
Makes sense for the amount of work done.

Happen to me before with Saga FLX 1.6 SE on the 6th year of ownership 😅

Spent rm6k on servicing & repairs that year

Sounds very expensive 6k lol. Not total damage ah? Haha

I whacked that car a lot during those days.

I've used the car for visiting construction jobs.

Was reluctant to buy pickup truck that time.

Hence lot of repairs

hi guys, any tyre recommendation for price below RM200 each, as i need to change all four tyre, and does the size of 195/55/R15 is okay?
*
You can get Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2 at around RM150 per piece for 195/55R15 (Klang Valley price).

This tire is an all-rounder tire with better than average performance, great value for money.

That size will fit our stock 15 inch rims. More choices of tyres with that size.

Wider tyres will slightly improve grip & handling.

Expect slight increase in petrol consumption.

Hi guys, I would like to get some of your opinions here. My 2017 Persona started making knocking sound when turning the car or going over rough road. Sent to service centre, they disassemble the steering rack & said to me I need to change the steering rack.

As they have checked the other parts of the car & no issues with it. They are quoting me RM900 for the steering rack.

Would it be cheaper to buy the original part outside & change or do I just agree for the service centre to do it? I still have warranty until end of 2022
*
Refurbish steering rack could be cheaper.

Steering rack not covered under warranty?

I've can hear annoying sound while driving. Tak... tak... sound.

Suspect coming from the passenger side rear window. If I wind down & up the window a little, the noise disappears. Will be back after some time though.

Anyone have similar encounter? Solutions?
*
Had similar issues & also rattling sound from passenger side dashboard.

Sent to Glenmarie SC for rectification & service. They told me at A pillar side got some components free play, so they fixed it back & apply foam tape at some areas.

2 days driving the car since then. So far no more noise. Hopefully it last

Anybody have tried replacing their front parking & rear reverse sensors with aftermarket ones?

Is it much more sensitive compared to the original ones?

Can you recommend to me?
