It is not acceptable for a car's front wheels to be one size larger than the rear wheels. Here are the relevant explanations: Reasons why front wheels cannot be one size larger than rear wheels: Uneven friction distribution between front and rear wheels will lead to increased fuel consumption. The vehicle will fail relevant annual inspections. Automotive wheel regulations: The total lateral runout and radial runout of wheel assemblies should not exceed 5mm for vehicles with total mass ≤3500kg. The length of tread wear or sidewall damage must not exceed 25mm in length or depth, as this may cause abnormal wear and deformation. Special school buses must use tubeless radial tires; highway coaches, tour buses and school buses must use retreaded tires for all wheels and undergo regular inspections.

What are the main components of engine oil?

Engine oil is primarily composed of base oil and additives. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties; additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of base oil performance, imparting certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil. The following is an introduction to engine oil: 1. Engine oil is the lubricating oil used in engines, consisting of base oil and additives. 2. As a type of machinery, engines have common requirements for lubricating oil similar to general machinery, such as appropriate viscosity, certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and viscosity-temperature properties. 3. The density of engine oil is approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), and it serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption.

How to Determine if Car Tire Pressure is Insufficient?

Car tire pressure can be checked through a tire pressure monitoring device or measured using a tire pressure gauge. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard regulations and requirements, the recommended tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing vehicle load during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks or blowouts that may lead to tire bursts.

How to Replace the Front Wheel with a Spare Tire on a Borgward BX7?

Here are the specific steps to replace the front wheel with a spare tire on a Borgward BX7: 1. First, park the car on a level and safe surface, activate the hazard lights, and engage the handbrake. After ensuring safety, place a triangular warning sign at an appropriate distance behind the vehicle. 2. Retrieve the spare tire, tire wrench, and jack. 3. Initially, loosen the wheel bolts in a crisscross pattern. 4. Then, position the jack under the chassis support and slowly raise the vehicle until the tire is slightly off the ground. Proceed to remove the bolts one by one in a diagonal sequence. 5. Further adjust the jack to lift the vehicle until the tire is completely off the ground, ensuring there's enough space to install the properly inflated spare tire. Remove the tire to be replaced and mount the spare tire. 6. After installing the tire, ensure the bolts are correctly positioned and tighten them in a diagonal pattern, but do not fully tighten them yet. Once the jack is lowered and the wheel is back on the ground, fully tighten the bolts.
