Tires with higher speed ratings generally offer better performance. Here are detailed explanations about tire speed ratings: 1. Classification: There are a total of 30 tire speed ratings, ranging from A1-A8, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, S, T, U, V, W, Y, to ZR. 2. Corresponding Speeds: J corresponds to 100 km/h; K corresponds to 110 km/h; L corresponds to 120 km/h; M corresponds to 130 km/h; N corresponds to 140 km/h; P corresponds to 150 km/h; Q corresponds to 160 km/h; R corresponds to 170 km/h; S corresponds to 180 km/h; T corresponds to 190 km/h; H corresponds to 210 km/h; V corresponds to 240 km/h; W corresponds to 270 km/h; Y corresponds to 300 km/h; VR corresponds to speeds greater than 210 km/h; ZR corresponds to speeds greater than 240 km/h.

Tire speed ratings aren't necessarily better when higher. It depends on actual usage scenarios. The speed rating indicates the maximum safe speed a tire can handle - for example, V-rated corresponds to 240 km/h. But if you normally drive at 60 km/h in the city, buying top-tier Z-rated tires is just wasting money. Those tires are made stiffer for high-speed stability, resulting in more noise and bumpier rides. Plus, high-speed-rated tires cost at least 30% more and typically have shorter lifespans than regular tires. Choose tires that match your vehicle's power - pairing ultra-high-speed-rated tires with a small-displacement engine can actually reduce grip. We recommend checking your owner's manual for the recommended rating - that value plus 20% is more than sufficient.

Will a Fire Extinguisher Explode in a Car?

Fire extinguishers generally do not explode in a car. The specific requirements for storing a vehicle fire extinguisher are as follows: 1. Storage environment: Vehicle fire extinguishers are mostly dry powder extinguishers, and the storage temperature for such extinguishers is within the range of -20°C to 55°C, so under normal circumstances, they will not explode. However, it should be noted that excessively high temperatures can cause some parts of the extinguisher to age, which can easily lead to leakage. Therefore, the storage location should avoid direct sunlight and be kept in a cool place. 2. Storage position: Store it in a readily accessible location, as this allows for quick access to the extinguisher in case of a car fire. Vehicle fire extinguishers are usually quite small, so they can be placed directly in the glove compartment or the passenger-side luggage compartment, or even under the seat. However, they should not be placed in the trunk, as in the event of a rear-end collision or a fire causing electrical failure, retrieving the extinguisher from the trunk can be very difficult.

What does it mean when the ETC displays license plate detection for the first time on the highway?

It is checking whether the license plate meets the standards. If the license plate does not comply, the vehicle cannot pass. Below is some relevant information about ETC: 1. Definition of ETC: The Chinese translation is electronic toll collection, which is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. It uses dedicated short-range communication between an onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and a microwave antenna in the ETC lane of a toll station. By leveraging computer networking technology and backend bank settlement processing, vehicles can pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the toll. 2. Technical Principle: The ETC system employs automatic vehicle identification technology to complete wireless data communication between the vehicle and the toll station, enabling automatic vehicle recognition and the exchange of relevant toll data. It uses computer networks to process toll data, achieving a fully automatic electronic toll collection system without the need for stopping or toll booths.

How Many Times Can You Retake the Second Driving Test?

For the second driving test, you can retake it once on the spot and schedule up to 5 retakes. Below is relevant information about the second driving test: 1. Small vehicle C1 and C2 test items: include five mandatory tests—reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves) (some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed card collection). 2. Large vehicle A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 test items: include pile test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, driving over a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a width-restricted gate, driving over continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountainous roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

What Car Brand Uses the 'B' Logo?

The brand that uses the 'B' logo is Bentley. The Bentley emblem features the first letter 'B' of its founder (Bentley) as the main element, with a pair of wings extending from it, resembling an eagle soaring through the sky. Additionally, some high-end Bentley models have a three-dimensional emblem on the front hood that resembles the main logo. Bentley's brand philosophy is 'To build a fast car, a good car, the best in its class.' Below is detailed information about Bentley: 1. Overview of Bentley: Bentley is a luxury car manufacturer founded in August 1919, headquartered in Crewe, England. Bentley was acquired by the Volkswagen Group in 1997. Starting in 2002, Bentley replaced Rolls-Royce as the sole designated car brand for the British royal family and became the official car for the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations. 2. Types of Cars Produced: The main models include the Continental GT high-performance car, Continental GTC convertible, Flying Spur four-door luxury sedan, and Mulsanne series sedans, among others. Bentley has become one of the most influential luxury car brands in China.

Are the Differential and Transmission the Same?

The differential and transmission are not the same. Both the differential and transmission are components of the automotive drivetrain system, but their roles are quite distinct, and their functions differ. Definition of Transmission: The transmission uses different gears to alter the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the wheels. Transmission gears are generally categorized into low gear, direct gear, and overdrive gear. Low gear refers to gears with a gear ratio greater than 1, such as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears in a common 5-speed transmission, while the 4th gear is the direct gear, and the 5th gear is the overdrive gear. Definition of Differential: When a car turns, the inner and outer wheels rotate at different speeds, with the outer wheel turning faster. If the two drive wheels were rigidly connected, one wheel would inevitably slip relative to the ground during a turn, making turning difficult and significantly affecting stability, especially at high speeds. Therefore, a device is needed to ensure that the two wheels do not interfere with each other during a turn while still providing sufficient driving force to both wheels. This device is the differential.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the new Bora?

The fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Bora is 55 liters. The Bora is the sedan version of the fourth-generation Golf and was launched overseas in 1998. The FAW-Volkswagen produced model is the improved 2001 version.
