The Audi A3 uses Hankook and Goodyear brand tires. The functions of tires are: 1. To transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force for vehicle operation; 2. To support vehicle loads; 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, avoiding severe vibrations that could damage vehicle components. Taking the 2021 Audi A3 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4321mm, width 1785mm, height 1426mm, with a wheelbase of 2629mm. The 2021 Audi A3 is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, maximum torque of 150Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

As an Audi A3 owner, I've noticed the original tires come from quite diverse brands. My 2019 Sportback came equipped with Continental ContiSportContact series, while some friends' base models might have Michelin Primacy or Bridgestone Turanza. These brands were selected to match the A3's front-wheel-drive system and sporty handling, offering excellent grip and stability during rainy highway driving. However, specific brands vary by model year and trim - newer A3s often feature Goodyear EfficientGrip tires for lower rolling resistance and fuel efficiency. I recommend checking your tire's sidewall label to confirm the brand and model before replacement to avoid mistakes. The standard size is usually 225/40 R18. When buying new tires, don't just consider the brand - also evaluate noise levels and treadwear. The OEM tires are designed for driving comfort, so sticking to original specifications is advisable. Different brands perform uniquely across road conditions - Michelin tires, for instance, prioritize quietness and suit urban driving best.

What Happens If You Put Diesel in a Gasoline Car?

Putting diesel in a gasoline car can cause symptoms such as engine shaking, black smoke from the exhaust, or even failure to start the engine. Differences between diesel and gasoline: 1. Gasoline is highly volatile, while diesel is difficult to evaporate: Gasoline vehicles emit fuel evaporation pollutants. 2. Gasoline mixes easily with air and does not separate easily: Gasoline molecules are smaller, whereas diesel mixes unevenly with air, inevitably leading to localized oxygen deficiency or excess. When fuel burns at high temperatures with insufficient oxygen, it tends to carbonize and form soot. Diesel combustion also produces some odorous organic gases, which is why diesel engine emissions have a distinct smell. 3. Diesel has higher energy density: Diesel does not require a spark plug and ignites under high pressure, making it more efficient but also heavier and noisier. Gasoline requires ignition, so gasoline engines are smaller and quieter. 4. They smell different: Gasoline has a pungent odor, while diesel has a milder smell. 5. They differ in color: Gasoline is light-colored, while diesel is darker. Diesel is mainly used in trucks; diesel engines rely on compression ignition and operate at relatively low speeds, resulting in lower power compared to gasoline engines and slower vehicle speeds. Gasoline is primarily used in passenger cars; gasoline engines use spark ignition, and their compression ratios are generally lower, typically ranging from 8-11 for naturally aspirated engines and not exceeding 14 for turbocharged ones.
