Tire 91w indicates that the maximum load capacity of a single tire is 615 kilograms, and the maximum speed it can withstand is 270 KM/H. 91 represents the load index, which is the numerical value indicating the maximum load a tire can bear under specified conditions when inflated to its maximum air pressure. The methods for replacing and maintaining tires are as follows: Method for replacing tires: Park the vehicle in a safe location, turn on the hazard warning lights, and engage the handbrake. Place a triangular warning sign at an appropriate distance behind the vehicle. Retrieve the spare tire, along with the provided wrench and jack, then remove the old tire and install the new one. Methods for tire maintenance: Regularly remove stones stuck in the tire treads, minimize exposure to direct sunlight, frequently check tire pressure, pay attention to suspension maintenance, periodically inspect front wheel alignment, adopt careful driving habits, choose smooth road surfaces while driving, avoid objects that can puncture or scratch the tires, and steer clear of chemical spills that may corrode the tires.

As a car enthusiast, I always love deciphering the alphanumeric codes on tires. In the label '91W', the number 91 represents the load index, indicating that the tire can carry a maximum load of 615 kilograms, which is roughly the total weight limit for a compact car. The 'W' stands for the speed rating, meaning the tire can safely handle speeds up to 270 km/h. Why is this important? Because when selecting tires, you must match the manufacturer's recommended specifications. If your vehicle carries heavy loads or you enjoy high-speed driving, choosing a 91W-rated tire ensures peace of mind, preventing premature wear or blowout risks. I always pay close attention to this when replacing tires. I remember a friend whose tires had too low a load index—after overloading, the sidewalls bulged, costing unnecessary money and compromising safety. I recommend all car owners regularly check tire pressure and tread wear, ensuring the labeled specifications meet factory requirements for a smoother and safer ride.

I've been driving for many years and am quite familiar with markings like 91W. The '91' refers to a load capacity of 615 kg, which is crucial for daily driving—for instance, ensuring tires don't overload when fully loaded with cargo. The 'W' indicates a maximum speed of 270 km/h. Although such high speeds are rarely needed in city driving, on highways or in emergencies, high-performance tires provide better grip. I emphasize safety awareness: when choosing tires, always refer to the specifications in your car's manual and avoid cheaper, lower-rated tires, as prolonged use can lead to rubber degradation or performance decline. Additionally, tire maintenance is vital; regular rotation extends their lifespan and saves on replacement costs. In short, 91W is a mark of quality assurance—adhering to it ensures safety for you and your family on the road.

When I first started learning to drive, I had no idea what the 91w marking meant. Now I understand: 91 indicates the tire's load capacity, approximately 615 kg; w denotes the maximum safe speed of 270 km/h. This relates to safety—overloading can damage tires, and excessive speed may cause overheating and deformation. Every time I change tires, I check these parameters to ensure they match the original vehicle specifications. For maintenance, maintaining correct tire pressure and checking wear levels can prevent potential hazards. Remember, good tires make driving safer.

From my practical experience, 91w on tires refers to two things: 91 indicates a maximum load capacity of 615 kg, and w represents a speed rating of 270 km/h. This directly affects cost-effectiveness: choosing the right specification can save money while ensuring safety—there's no need to pursue excessively high ratings, but avoiding overly low ones is also crucial to prevent frequent replacements. I once tried tires with lower load ratings, and they wore out quickly, wasting money. Additionally, paying attention to tire conditions like balanced air pressure and tread depth helps extend their lifespan. I recommend car owners select tires based on their typical driving conditions, balancing cost and safety, with the 91w rating serving as a core reference.

What type of oil is suitable for the New Alto?

The original oil brand for the New Alto is Suzuki. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Shell, Mobil, Castrol, or Total. The oil models recommended in the official manual for the New Alto are 0W-20 and 5W-20. Any oil model that meets these two specifications can be used. The viscosity of the oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making the car's cold start smoother. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the value, the better it can maintain viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high temperatures. The method for changing the oil in the New Alto is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain. Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a bottle. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes. Check for oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are any leaks, perform necessary repairs. After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

How Often Should the Brake Pads of Changan Eado Be Replaced?

The official recommendation does not specify a fixed replacement cycle for the Eado's brake pads, as it largely depends on driving conditions and habits. Generally, a set of brake pads can last up to 100,000 kilometers if used properly. To determine whether the brake pads need replacement, you can use the following three methods: 1. Check the brake pad thickness: When the brake pads become very thin, braking performance significantly declines, affecting driving safety. New brake pads are typically about 1.5cm thick. When the thickness wears down to 0.5cm, you should increase the frequency of self-inspection. If the thickness is reduced to 0.3cm, immediate replacement is necessary, as this is the minimum safe limit for brake pad thickness. 2. Monitor the vehicle's dashboard warning light: Most cars have a brake warning light on the dashboard. When this light illuminates, it indicates that the brake pads have reached their wear limit and must be inspected immediately. All vehicles are equipped with such warning systems, though some directly sense the brake pad thickness, while others activate the warning light only when the brake pads are completely worn out and brake fluid levels drop critically. 3. Listen for unusual sounds: Brake discs are usually made of iron and can develop rust after prolonged parking, especially in humid or rainy conditions. When braking, a slight hissing sound may occur, which typically disappears after driving for a while and applying the brakes a few times. However, if the sound persists without improvement, the brake pads must be replaced immediately. This indicates that the wear indicators on the sides of the brake pads are directly grinding against the brake disc, confirming that the pads have exceeded their safe limit.
