What is the size of an R14 tire?

175/65R14 and 165/60R14 tires both have a diameter of 14 inches. Here is the relevant information: The meaning of 175/65R14: 1. "175" refers to the section width of the tire, which is the width between the two sidewalls (in millimeters). This width varies depending on the width of the rim the tire is matched with—wider rims are paired with wider tires, and narrower rims with narrower tires. Generally, the width marked on the sidewall indicates the width when the tire is mounted on the recommended rim width. 2. "65" is the aspect ratio of the tire, representing the ratio of the tire's height to its width. Here, it means the height is 65% of the width. The smaller the number, the flatter the tire appears. 3. "R" indicates the tire's construction, meaning it is a radial tire, with its cord plies arranged radially within the tire body. 4. "14" denotes the rim diameter (in inches). This tire must be matched with a 14-inch rim; otherwise, it cannot be installed.

What to Do When All Vehicle Lights Suddenly Go Out During Night Driving?

When all vehicle lights suddenly go out during night driving, you should try to turn on the hazard warning flashers, gradually slow down, and pull over to the side of the road. Even if the hazard warning flashers cannot be activated, you should avoid sudden braking, as this can easily lead to a rear-end collision. Precautions for night driving: 1. Speed: Whether driving during the day or at night, speed is an important factor to consider. However, nighttime driving speeds should generally be slower than during the day. 2. Lights: During night driving, both the front and rear lights of the vehicle should be turned on. When making a turn, if there is a vehicle behind, the turn signal should be activated in advance to avoid rear-end collisions. 3. Increase following distance: During night driving, the driver's visibility is reduced compared to daytime, and they are more likely to encounter dangerous or emergency situations. Therefore, the driver must be prepared to stop at any time. To prevent accidents, it is important to maintain a safe following distance to avoid collisions with the vehicle in front.
