Here are the specific differences between car tires 91V and 91W: 1. Speed rating: V indicates that the maximum speed this tire can withstand is 240 km/h, while W indicates that the maximum speed this tire can withstand is 270 km/h. 2. Load index: 91W tires refer to tires that can bear a load of 615 kg and a maximum speed of 270 km/h. Below is extended information about car tire specifications: 1. Specification model representation: Tires are important components of a car, and there are many specification models for tires. Different specification models are suitable for different types of vehicles. The specification model identification is usually on the sidewall of the tire, represented by a series of alphanumeric characters, corresponding to the tire's tread width, aspect ratio, type, rim size, load index, and speed rating. 2. Speed rating: According to the different maximum speeds they can withstand, tire speed ratings can be divided into different grades from A to Z, with grade A further subdivided into eight different grades from A1 to A8. The further back the letter representing the tire speed rating is, the better the tire performance.

I remember researching this when changing tires. Both 91V and 91W have a load index of 91, meaning each tire can bear 615 kg. The main difference lies in the speed rating: V stands for a maximum speed of 240 km/h, while W can handle up to 270 km/h. Normally, we drive at 120 km/h on highways, far below these limits. However, W-rated tires have a rubber compound and internal structure that better withstand high temperatures, reducing deformation at high speeds. That said, W-rated tires cost about 10% more. For regular family cars, V-rated tires are perfectly adequate unless you drive a performance car or frequently travel on German autobahns with no speed limits. Additionally, W-rated tires have stiffer sidewalls, making bumps like speed bumps more noticeable, so it's a matter of personal preference.

What Issues Arise from Not Transferring Ownership When Buying a Used Car?

Buying a used car without transferring ownership can lead to the following issues: Issues for the seller: For the original owner, if the car is not transferred, it remains under their name. In the event of a traffic accident or other incidents, the original owner will still bear corresponding responsibilities. Additionally, any traffic violations caused by the current owner will be tied to the original owner's identity information. If more than five violations remain unaddressed, the owner may be blacklisted, and the vehicle could be impounded. Issues for the buyer: For the buyer, if the vehicle ownership is not transferred, they may face difficulties in participating in mandatory annual inspections. Moreover, since the vehicle remains under the original owner's name, the seller could reclaim the car if they change their mind later. If authorities seize the seller's assets, the vehicle could still be subject to confiscation, leaving the buyer at a significant loss.

How Many Turns Is 'Locking the Steering Wheel' in Subject 2?

In Subject 2, locking the steering wheel means turning it one and a half full rotations. For example, if you turn half a rotation to the right, you can return to the center by turning half a rotation in the opposite direction. The advantage of full steering is that it allows you to quickly turn the wheels to the desired position and return them to center just as fast. When turning the steering wheel, your hands should always grip it at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, holding it firmly. This is currently recognized as the safest way to hold the steering wheel. While turning the wheel, if the car is moving, always pay attention to the direction of the car's front end and avoid focusing solely on the steering wheel. It is recommended to have a clear understanding of steering wheel movements in your mind rather than trying to find the feel during actual operation.
