The Song Plus DM-i can be fitted with quiet tires, which produce relatively less noise during driving compared to regular tires. Regularly check tire wear condition: Generally, car tires can last for 50,000-100,000 kilometers, so it's essential to periodically inspect tire wear. If the wear is severe, the tires should be replaced. Frequently clean tires: If driving on muddy roads, tires can accumulate a lot of dirt. Excessive debris on the wheels can affect driving safety, so it's necessary to clean the tires thoroughly during car washing; otherwise, wheel wear will accelerate. Perform wheel alignment: Wheel alignment can enhance tire performance and ensure proper vehicle handling. Poor wheel alignment may lead to irregular tread wear and shorten tire lifespan. Regularly check inflation and maintain stable tire pressure: The wheels bear the weight of the vehicle, so the pressure in all four tires should be consistent. Otherwise, steering instability may occur. Therefore, ensure proper inflation and maintain stable pressure.

I've been driving the Song Plus DMI, and last year I switched to quiet tires, which really reduced the noise on the highway. The factory tires were fine in the city, but the constant humming on long drives was annoying. When changing tires, make sure to choose the right size, like 255/45 R20, and don’t go for cheap off-brand options as they can compromise safety. Also, check that the load index and speed rating match the original specifications, or it might damage the chassis. I use Michelin’s Primacy series—quiet and durable. Although a bit pricey, the comfort improvement is noticeable, especially in electric mode, where the noise almost disappears, and I don’t even need to turn up the music much. I recommend consulting the 4S store first for recommendations rather than making random changes. Overall, after the switch, I feel less fatigued, making it ideal for those who frequently drive long distances. During maintenance, remember to check tire pressure and balance to ensure long-term performance.

I've been driving my Song Plus DMI for a year with heavy commuting, and the noise issue initially bothered me. After switching to quiet tires, the world became much quieter, especially on highways where the tire friction roar was significantly reduced. Not all brands suit this car—I chose Goodyear EfficientGrip, ensuring the exact original size of 255/45 R20 to avoid compromising handling. The benefits include improved ride comfort, with friends often complimenting how quiet it is. However, don’t overlook balancing, or the car may wobble. Cost-wise, replacing all four tires costs a few thousand, but it’s worth it long-term as reduced noise may extend battery life and minimize electronic interference. I recommend getting it done at a reputable shop to avoid unreliable online purchases. Testing tire noise data before replacement for comparison adds extra peace of mind.

The Song Plus DMI can be fitted with silent tires. I've changed them myself, and the size must remain consistent. There are many options for 255/45 R20, such as the Continental CC6, which is very quiet. The benefit is a noticeable reduction in noise, especially when driving quietly in the city. However, be aware that wet road grip might be slightly compromised, so don't drive too fast. The cost is a bit higher, but it improves comfort. After changing them, take a test drive on the highway to feel the difference.

What is the method for adding refrigerant to a car air conditioner?

There are two methods for adding refrigerant to a car air conditioner: high-pressure side refrigerant charging and low-pressure side fluorine charging. After the system is vacuumed, close the high and low pressure manual valves on the manifold pressure gauge. Refrigerant, commonly known as freon, is the working fluid used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems to transfer heat energy and produce cooling effects. It can be classified by working method into primary refrigerants and secondary refrigerants, and by material properties into natural refrigerants and synthetic refrigerants. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in vehicles, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.
