After checking battery twice before/after and 1 month after service, seems like battery in good condition, just false information I guess the other day.

What's the best comfort tyre for X50? I plan to get Primacy 4 (RM768/ea)
There's no Conti CC7 18 it seems, anyone know how does MaxContact performs for comfort?

do anyone facing a problem for the display?

my condition is, not always, but sometimes when i start engine, (1) the voice came out said something but I cant hear what it said cos it's lag/not smooth, never manage to hear the full sentence.

and (2) the radio sometimes auto play, sometimes i have to press the play button. Besides, (3) the app update notifications keep pops out asking to update the app but when u press the update button, nothing happened.

i serviced 3-4 times asking them to check for me, they always said OK OK, then at the end only help me to update system. all problems din solved.

Toyo Proxes CR1.

better comfort & less road noise than Michelin Primacy 4

Conti UC6 performance on rain should be much worse than Toyo CR1.

Toyo CR1 is available in 215/55R18 size

the CR1 will 'float' on 80+ and not totally cut tru the water

Can confirm this, very accurate, they will try up sale you of course, up to you to buy or not, they're optional.

Interesting, I havent seen anyone recommending proxes cr1 for comfort.

I hydroplane alot on UC6 around 100-120, but no sane people would go that fast anyway during rain (I slowed down after i noticed that). Below 100 is okay, no issue.
After awhile then I saw BMW cruising in rain more than 140+, I wish I can ask what tyre is he on. biggrin.gif

My other sedan car with Michelin PS4, yes it really confident driving on heavy rain at a bit higher speed, but norm, raining please drive slowly.
My wife car with UC6, even at few months old car, it really struggling at heavy rain, i banned Continental tyre cz poor wet traction. My buddies told me the same for previous model, MC6, just ok at dry, poor at wet, like if got budget buy other tyres.

Already upgrade the UC6 to Toyo CR1 which better wet traction than junk UC6 at wet and really quiet tyres

take it from owner who got self accident twice because of UC6 (original donut)

so called cut water at 100, 110, 80, 150. no it doesnt. LOL. ive since moved away from UC6. safe to say those idiotic influencer are paid donuts. of course it looks good on paper.

again. its common sense to slow down during rain what not. but no more UC6 for me. but hey if it works for u. then why not

It was based on my own experience. Was using Toyo CR1 before.

Then changed to Primacy 4 in the hopes that it would be a better all rounder tire than CR1.

Boy, I was wrong. There was a significant difference in terms of comfort & road noise.

CR1 trumps Primacy 4 in NVH levels. As a consolation, Primacy 4 has better traction wet & dry, better braking & better mileage.

hi folks, anyone had to replace their HCA? having issues with durian logo and seems to happen on an especially hot day (temp 37C on dash), the clutch seems to "slip" and only shifts between 2,4,6 only 1,3,5,7 never engages... recently went to sekinchan and suddenly in 7th gear its like the gear just slipped back into neutral and u press the gas it just rev up but car never picks up speed. had to stop/restart car then durian icon and check engine light came on and 2,4,6 only

read alot about HCA issues in general but not quite sure which SC can properly diagnose this. even with COSE now no longer directly operated by Proton im not sure if thats a good place to go anymore?
