The difference between 235 and 245 tires is as follows: The widths of these two tires are different. 235 and 245 represent the tire widths of 235 and 245 millimeters, respectively. The cross-section width of a 235 tire is smaller than that of a 245 tire. The larger the contact area, the greater the friction. When used on drive wheels, the 245 tires will feel like they have more grip than the 235 tires. During rapid acceleration, the response of the 245 tires will be more agile than that of the 235 tires. In terms of driving stability, the 245 tires are more stable than the 235 tires. The tread of the 245 tires is wider, and their lateral support is stronger than that of the 235 tires, making them more stable during cornering and lane changes. When selecting tires, it is important to choose ones that are suitable for the vehicle. For example, low-profile tires used on sports cars are not suitable for family cars. Generally, the factory-standard tires on family vehicles already balance comfort and fuel economy. In addition to the model, tires are also marked with the following common data: Tire cord material: Represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of tires from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h. Rim specification: Indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire.

How Long Does It Take to Complete from Subject 1 to Subject 4?

From registration to obtaining a driver's license, it takes at least about one month. According to regulations, after passing the Subject 1 exam, you must wait at least 10 days before you can schedule the Subject 2 exam, and 20 days after Subject 1 before scheduling the Subject 3 exam. The exact duration depends on the actual learning and examination process, which involves several steps: 1. Registration: Enroll at a driving school, which marks the beginning of the process. 2. Learning: Normally, completing the required study hours takes about 10-15 days per subject. If there are no study hour requirements, the time is not fixed. 3. Scheduling: In many places, there is a high demand for driving tests, so securing an exam slot should also be factored into the timeline. 4. Examination: For Subjects 1, 2, 3, and 4, passing each on the first attempt saves time. If not, you will need to retake the exam.

What is the reason for no air in car air conditioning gears 1, 2, and 3 but normal in gear 4?

The reason for no air in car air conditioning gears 1, 2, and 3 but normal in gear 4 is a faulty blower motor resistor. Here are the relevant details: 1. Purpose: When using air conditioning in summer, parked vehicles should first open the windows and set the blower to the highest gear to allow air convection inside the car, expelling hot air before closing the windows to achieve rapid cooling. 2. Startup load: When parking, turn off the air conditioning before shutting down the engine to avoid increasing the startup load. 3. Recirculation mode: Turn on recirculation mode when using air conditioning for optimal cooling effect. 4. Prolonged use: Avoid prolonged use of air conditioning when the vehicle is parked to prevent deterioration of air quality inside the car and potential health impacts.

What to Do If You Keep Failing Subject 2 of the Driving Test?

Methods to overcome repeated failures in Subject 2: 1. Maintain a calm mindset: Initial failures may be due to technical shortcomings, but repeated failures are often due to poor mindset. Believe that you can pass the driving test smoothly, and statistics show that this is indeed the case—except for a very few students who hardly practice, everyone eventually passes. 2. Be well-prepared: Strictly follow the instructions repeatedly emphasized by your instructor, such as adjusting the seat and rearview mirrors upon entering the car, maintaining a fixed sitting posture without moving around. During the test, test the clutch pedal when you get in the car, and make full use of the distance from the starting point to the first test item to quickly get familiar with the clutch of the new car. 3. Stay steady during the test: Everyone may have their 'weak points,' but don’t focus solely on them. Every test item and detail should be handled steadily and carefully to avoid neglecting one thing while focusing on another.

What to Do When There's a Metallic Scraping Sound Under the Car While Driving?

Prompt inspection and repair are necessary. Below are the causes and solutions for abnormal noises in cars: 1. Brake Noise: Brakes are a crucial and frequently used component of a car. Over time, various issues can arise, leading to different sounds. Common causes include excessive iron content in brake pads, worn-out brake pads, or foreign objects on the brake disc. Solution: Replace the brake pads with new ones. 2. Tire Noise: Tires undergo the most wear during driving. Over time, tires may produce abnormal noises, which increase in frequency with speed. This usually indicates a problem with the tires. Solution: Stop the car and inspect carefully, removing any foreign objects to prevent long-term damage to the tires. 3. Bearing Noise: While driving, pressure bearings can crack or get damaged due to road conditions, leading to a 'clunking' sound on bumpy roads. Severe cases may cause wheel misalignment. Aging bearings can also produce a 'humming' noise, which worsens with speed. Solution: Visit a nearby repair shop promptly to replace the wheel hub bearing.

How much can I get refunded if I fail Subject 2 four times?

Generally, a refund is possible, but the specific amount depends on the driving school's regulations. Here is the relevant information: 1. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. It refers to the field driving skills test. For small cars (C1/C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through an S-curve. 2. Other vehicle types: For large vehicles (A1/A2/A3/B1/B2), the test includes: stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, driving over a single-plank bridge, driving through an S-curve, turning at a right angle, passing through a narrow gate, navigating continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulated scenarios such as highways, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
