The main difference between the two tires lies in their maximum speed tolerance. The speed rating indicates the highest speed a tire can achieve under specified load and inflation pressure standards. 'V' and 'H' are speed ratings, where 97v has a designed maximum speed of 240 km/h, and 97h has 210 km/h. Both specifications share the same load index, with a maximum load capacity of 730 KG. Common vehicle models in the market mostly use H and V ratings, while some high-performance vehicles use W and Y. Tire specifications are data that indicate the geometric parameters and physical performance of a tire. There are three methods to represent tire specifications: metric (m), metric-imperial hybrid, and imperial. Imperial tire specifications are often represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the second number indicates the rim diameter, both in inches. On tires, the most common identifiers are the tire brand, followed by the tire specifications, then the load index and speed rating. The speed rating is the maximum speed limit determined during the design and production of the tire after considering various factors and tests. Exceeding this speed can lead to multiple safety hazards. Generally, all-terrain tires (AT) have lower speed ratings compared to highway tires to account for off-road performance. Load index and inflation pressure. These usually indicate the maximum load and corresponding pressure. The load is measured in 'kilograms,' and the pressure refers to the tire's inflation pressure, measured in 'kilopascals.' The wear limit of the tire is marked with rubber strips or blocks on the side. When the tire wear approaches about 4mm from this limit, it's time to consider replacing the tire. The so-called three 'T's refer to Treadwear (wear resistance), Traction (traction performance), and Temperature (temperature resistance), often seen together on the tire sidewall. These three indicators, besides the conventional size, speed rating, and load index, can be used to select tires based on their three 'T' ratings, which are lesser-known to consumers. In addition to the model, tires also carry 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. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed a tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters from A to Z represent certified speed ratings 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 size compatible with the tire for practical use, such as standard rim 5.00F.

Can Exhaust Cleaner Replace Gasoline?

Exhaust cleaner cannot replace gasoline. It must be mixed with gasoline for use and cannot be used alone without gasoline because it is not a fuel and cannot provide power for the car. Cleaner is an auxiliary product that helps gasoline burn more completely, thereby improving the car's power, reducing energy consumption, removing carbon deposits, and lowering exhaust emissions. Precautions regarding exhaust cleaner: Some unscrupulous merchants may exaggerate the effects of exhaust cleaner, claiming that it can replace fuel. Do not be deceived. Moreover, the quality of exhaust cleaners varies. Adding poor-quality exhaust cleaner may even damage the car's engine. If the car owner can use and maintain the car properly, the car's exhaust system will not have issues, and there is no need to purchase exhaust cleaner. If exhaust problems occur, promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Do not add exhaust cleaner when the fuel tank is empty or the gasoline level is too low. First, add gasoline, then add the exhaust cleaner by pouring it directly into the fuel tank. Store away from fire sources and avoid direct sunlight. In case of fire, extinguish it with water. When initially cleaning carbon deposits, gradually increase the amount of cleaner added.

Can I Only Use Parking Lights at Night?

You cannot drive at night with only parking lights on; you must turn on the low beam headlights. Headlights are mandatory for night driving: Traffic regulations stipulate that headlights must be used when driving at night. On roads without central barriers or center lines, high beams must not be used when meeting an oncoming vehicle within 150 meters. High beams must not be used when meeting non-motor vehicles on narrow bridges or roads without central barriers or center lines. When driving at night on roads with poor lighting, or in conditions of low visibility such as fog, rain, snow, or dust, high beams must not be used when following another vehicle closely at a short distance. When passing sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic signals, drivers should alternate between high and low beams to signal. Remember to turn off high beams when meeting another vehicle at night: Generally, urban roads have good lighting conditions, and using low beams at night is sufficient, with high beams rarely needed. If the lighting is poor, drivers may use high beams. However, it is crucial to turn off high beams when meeting another vehicle.

Does Heating or Air Conditioning Consume More Fuel?

Relatively speaking, using air conditioning consumes more fuel as the engine needs to drive the compressor, increasing the load. Car Air Conditioning Consumes More Fuel: Using the car's air conditioning in summer to cool the air consumes more fuel. When the car's air conditioning is turned on for cooling, the compressor is activated first, which increases the engine's load. If the idle speed is too low, the air conditioning will automatically adjust the engine's RPM to meet its needs. Therefore, running the air conditioning at low idle speed is ineffective and does not save fuel. In other words, turning on the car's air conditioning for cooling increases fuel consumption. Heating Does Not Consume Fuel: When the fan is turned off and set to external circulation, using the heating not only does not consume fuel but is also an environmentally friendly practice. This is because the heat for the heating system comes from the engine's excess work during operation. If the heating is not used, this energy is dissipated into the atmosphere through the cooling system, including the radiator and coolant circulation.

What is the reason for insufficient air pressure after stepping on the brakes several times?

The reason for insufficient air pressure after stepping on the brakes several times is a problem with the brake valve. Problems with the brake valve: When the vehicle's air reservoir cannot store enough compressed air, the brake valve's air supply is insufficient; air leaks in the brake valve pipeline or blockages in the air circuit can both result in insufficient compressed air pressure generated by the braking system during braking. Braking with air pressure: During air pressure braking, when the driver steps on the brake pedal, the brake control valve opens, connecting the passage from the air reservoir to the brake chamber. This allows the compressed air in the air reservoir to enter the brake chamber through the brake control valve. Sufficient air pressure pushes the brake chamber push rod outward, driving the brake adjustment arm to rotate the cam. The rotation of the cam causes the brake shoes to expand and press against the brake drum, thereby braking the wheel. If the pressure is insufficient, it cannot push the chamber push rod outward to expand the brake shoes and press them against the brake drum, thus failing to brake the wheel.
