I remember driving a Chevrolet Malibu before, which usually came with Goodyear tires as original equipment. My 2018 model was equipped with the Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max series. The tires may vary across different model years and trims, with some higher-end versions possibly using Michelin or Bridgestone. Tires are crucial for driving, especially grip at high speeds affecting safety. I recommend checking the sidewall label for the brand when buying a used Malibu. If they're worn out, replacing them with the same brand is more cost-effective—Goodyear tires are durable and fuel-efficient. For routine maintenance, check the tread depth every 10,000 km to prevent aging from affecting braking distance, which is particularly important for long-distance driving. Overall, knowing the original tires can save you a lot of hassle.

Just got a used Malibu, the original tires are Goodyear, feels pretty stable. The salesperson said the newer models often come with this brand, but older ones might have Continental or Hankook. Checked some forums and found that most discussions among owners are about tire noise and comfort, with Goodyear being relatively quieter. For daily use, OEM tires save money and hassle, but watch out for temperature changes causing aging, and check drainage during southern rainy seasons. Recommend regular tire pressure checks and avoid overloading to extend lifespan. When replacing tires, sticking with the original brand or going for Michelin is fine, safety first. Car enthusiast friends say different brands don't make much difference in fuel consumption, value for money matters most.

How Loud is the Hyundai Fista?

The measured noise levels of the Hyundai Fista are 39.4 decibels at idle, 61.7 decibels at 60 km/h, 64.2 decibels at 80 km/h, and 68.6 decibels at 120 km/h. 1. The Fista is not particularly outstanding in noise reduction: tire noise, and even the impact sound between the tires and the road surface can be transmitted into the cabin. At high speeds, the wind noise in the rear is more noticeable compared to other vehicles in the same class. Additionally, the Fista's transmission gear ratio and final drive ratio are calibrated more for performance and acceleration, resulting in higher cruising RPMs compared to other 7-speed transmissions, which leads to less favorable noise performance. 2. The Fista's noise reduction capability is also related to maintenance: noise from the engine and its accessories can be caused by normal wear of internal components over time. The solution is to replace some or all of the engine's moving parts, such as connecting rods, connecting rod bearings, pistons, and piston rings. Some noise is caused by vehicle faults, such as abnormal tire pressure, irregular tire wear, suspension or chassis damage, and engine abnormalities. Regular inspections and maintenance are necessary.

What is the horsepower of a 192 diesel engine?

192 diesel engine is 10 horsepower. Information about diesel engines is as follows: Methods for maintaining a diesel engine: Regularly replace the air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter on the diesel engine, as their purpose is to remove impurities from the air, oil, and fuel. Only by cleaning these impurities in a timely manner can the normal use of the vehicle be ensured. It is essential to regularly maintain the radiator. Keep in mind that rust and scale in the engine radiator are common issues. When rust occurs in the radiator, it can cause the engine to overheat, and in severe cases, it may even lead to engine damage. Choose the appropriate engine oil for the diesel engine. For diesel engines, only the right oil can ensure smooth operation. Therefore, to protect the engine, always select the suitable oil quality. Differences between diesel and gasoline engines: The working principles of diesel and gasoline engines are different. A diesel engine uses a high-pressure injector to spray diesel, which ignites after compression, while a gasoline engine compresses a mixture of flammable gas and then ignites it via a spark plug. Diesel engines do not have spark plugs because diesel has a much lower ignition point than gasoline.
