Do I need to change tires when modifying wheel size?

Modifying wheel size requires changing tires. Tire replacement timing: It is recommended to replace tires every four years, even if the mileage is relatively low during those four years. Tires are rubber products, and rubber products will age over time with prolonged use. Tire selection: When purchasing tires, be sure to check the specifications and model clearly, as well as the production date, speed rating, and load index. Generally, the sidewalls of tires for family cars or SUVs will have markings like 91V. After reinstalling tires, it's essential to perform wheel balancing to prevent abnormal vibrations during high-speed driving.

What is the reason for the car jerking and not accelerating?

The car jerking and not accelerating is due to a problem with the fuel injectors. It is recommended that car owners check the fuel injectors and fuel supply system. Over time, carbon deposits can form on the fuel injectors, affecting their normal operation. If the carbon buildup is severe, car owners can purchase fuel additives to add to the fuel tank, which can help reduce carbon deposits. The main causes of fuel injector failure are issues with the fuel and filter, such as using low-quality diesel, or not cleaning or replacing the filter element for a long time. Car owners should use fuel that meets national standards and regularly clean the fuel filter to prevent excessive impurities from clogging the fuel injectors.
