What tires come standard on the Compass?

This Jeep Compass comes with tires of the following specifications: 215mm/60R17. It uses Continental tires from Germany. Below is more information about the tire model: 1. Most tire model markings look like: 215mm/70R15. The meanings of these numbers are as follows: 215 represents the tire section width in millimeters, generally ranging from 145 to 285mm in increments of 10mm; 70 is the aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tire sidewall height to the tire section width, with 70 representing 70%. Generally, tire aspect ratios range between 30% and 80%. Normally, ordinary sedans should not use tires with an aspect ratio >75%, while luxury cars and high-performance sports cars are recommended to use tires with an aspect ratio <60%; R stands for Radial, indicating the tire has a radial structure, and 15 is the rim diameter in inches. 2. The Compass uses Continental tires from Germany. The advantages of Continental tires include safety, reliability, and lower noise levels, with unique tread patterns on the tire surface that enhance vehicle handling performance. Additionally, Continental tires offer excellent braking performance on both dry and wet surfaces, higher water drainage protection, and are the only road tires globally approved for driving at speeds up to 360 km/h, earning a place in the Guinness World Records. They also boast an excellent product lifespan, making them a high-value product.

What are the differences between Michelin 3st and 4st?

The differences between Michelin 3st and 4st are as follows: 1. Different drainage performance: Michelin Primacy 4 adopts Evergrip technology with a brand-new tread pattern design, increasing the drainage space by more than 50% compared to 3st, providing excellent drainage performance. During rainy days, a water film is easily formed between the tire and the road surface, significantly reducing the occurrence of hydroplaning to a certain extent. 2. Different rubber compound: Compared to 3st, Michelin Primacy 4 utilizes a new tread pattern design and a new rubber compound, improving the wet braking performance and rolling resistance for both new and worn tires, thereby enhancing safety.

What are some car driving tips?

Car driving tips are as follows: 1. Maintain a cautious attitude: As a qualified driver, you must never take unnecessary risks. Some drivers may feel frustrated when encountering the same situation where others can ensure safety without braking, while they have to brake, leading them to start taking risks, which often results in accidents. 2. Adjust RPM according to the situation: This allows for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. While driving, pay attention to the engine sound and feel at different RPMs and speeds, and shift gears at the right time. Since first gear is the starting gear, with a gear ratio similar to reverse gear, it is not suitable for prolonged high-speed operation. Generally, you can shift to second gear once the car gains momentum.

How Serious Is It to Drive Several Kilometers with the Handbrake On?

The following are the consequences of driving several kilometers with the handbrake on: 1. Severe brake pad wear: Driving with the handbrake engaged causes significant brake wear. The most direct effects are accelerated wear of the brake discs and hardening of the brake pads due to overheating, as well as stretching of the handbrake cable. This leads to reduced braking performance, and the burnt smell sometimes noticed by the driver comes from this. In severe cases, smoke may appear from the rear of the car. 2. Tire damage: Driving with the handbrake on also damages the tires. Keeping the handbrake engaged for a long time can cause the rear wheels to lock up, leading to smoke from friction and potentially causing brake failure.

What to do if the car is burning oil a bit seriously?

Solutions to the problem of a car burning oil a bit seriously are: 1. Replace the engine oil with a new one corresponding to the engine model; 2. Replace the new valve oil seal; 3. Replace the new oil seal between the turbocharger and the intake pipe. Once the problem is identified, the corresponding damaged parts can be repaired or replaced. If the car still burns oil seriously after these operations, it needs to be sent to a 4S shop for a comprehensive inspection. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To alleviate friction and high temperature; 2. To reduce gas leakage and prevent external pollutants; 3. To prevent water, air, acidic harmful gases from contacting with parts; 4. To buffer the pressure rise at the engine cylinder port.
