Tires with 97v and 101w ratings can be used interchangeably. Below are the differences between 97v and 101w tires, along with some information about tire specifications: 1. The numbers 97 and 101 represent the load index, also known as the load capacity. A rating of 97 indicates a maximum load capacity of 730kg, while 101 indicates a maximum load capacity of 825kg. The load index is a code that represents the maximum load a single tire can bear, measured in kilograms (Kg). 2. The letter V denotes a speed rating, meaning the tire can withstand speeds up to 240km/h, while W indicates a speed rating of up to 270km/h. 3. The markings on a tire, such as 195/60-R15, have the following meanings: (1) 195 represents the tire's cross-sectional width. (2) 60 represents the aspect ratio, also known as the profile ratio, indicating that the sidewall height is 60% of the width. (3) 15 represents the diameter of the wheel rim.

How to Cross the Right Single-Plank Bridge?

Currently, the method for crossing single-plank bridges involves first ascending the left bridge followed by the right bridge. After ascending the bridge, when the left front wheel rolls off the left bridge for about one full rotation, immediately turn the steering wheel to the right to the 1 o'clock position and hold it steady. Turning the wheel to the right causes the wheels to tilt rightward, making the front of the car swing to the right, thereby allowing the right front wheel to climb onto the right bridge. Once the right front wheel is on the bridge, look straight ahead at a point approximately 150 meters away. Gradually straighten the steering wheel to the right based on the tilt of the vehicle body to smoothly cross the single-plank bridge.

What to Do When Mud Sticks to the Car?

After applying foam, first rinse with a high-pressure water gun to check for parts that cannot be washed away. Touch by hand to confirm if the mud has solidified. Use "tar and asphalt cleaner" to evenly spray on the solidified mud, being careful not to cover too wide an area. Reapply foam cleaner and wipe with a car wash sponge, then rinse again with a high-pressure water gun. Finally, wipe away water droplets with a cloth.

What to Do When You Can't See the Rear Wheel Crossing the Line During Parallel Parking?

After getting into the car, you should first complete the preparatory steps, such as fastening the seatbelt, adjusting the seat, and setting the rearview mirrors. Shift into first gear, drive parallel to the parking space line, and maintain a distance of less than half a meter but more than 30 cm. When the right rear corner of the parking space appears in the left rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel two full turns. When the left rear wheel crosses the left dotted line, straighten the steering wheel to allow the car to slowly reverse parallel to the parking space.

How Long Does Headlight Restoration Fluid Last?

Headlight restoration fluid can last for about a month after application. Here are common methods for using headlight restoration fluid: 1. Polishing-style restoration: This is a common method, which basically involves sanding the headlight with sandpaper and then polishing it with specialized wax. This method shows obvious results, but it also has clear drawbacks—not every area can be polished, and the protective film will be worn off after polishing. 2. Fumigation-style restoration: This actually involves reapplying a protective film. Sealing tape is applied to the edges of the headlight, followed by sanding with sandpaper, and finally, the protective film is applied using professional tools.

Why Does a Car Engine Sound Louder in Winter?

Winter car engine noise may be caused by substandard engine oil, unsuitable oil viscosity, carbon buildup, and other reasons. Below is an analysis of the reasons for increased engine noise in winter: 1. Substandard engine oil or excessive oil level: When there is too much oil in the engine, it creates unnecessary resistance to the crankshaft's rotation, affecting power output and increasing fuel consumption. 2. Unsuitable oil viscosity: Different grades of engine oil have varying characteristics, including low-temperature startup performance and high-temperature anti-wear and adhesion properties. However, if the oil is too thin, it may fail to form a sufficient protective film under high-temperature conditions, leading to insufficient lubrication and increased component wear. 3. Carbon buildup: As old engine oil becomes thinner over time, carbon deposits accumulate more easily. Thinner oil can lead to oil seepage, increasing carbon buildup and reducing engine power. When new oil is added, the engine may struggle to adapt to the new oil's viscosity, potentially causing higher RPMs and resulting in louder engine noise.
