The main functions of tires are to support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car. Here are some details about tires: Precautions for tire maintenance: Maintain a safe distance when driving at high speeds to avoid unnecessary or frequent braking, which can reduce damage to the tires; rotate the tires on the vehicle appropriately and in a timely manner to ensure even wear; try to use tires with vertical tread patterns for the front wheels and horizontal tread patterns for the rear wheels; when the tire wear reaches the wear indicator, it must be replaced. Tire replacement standards: Tire rubber has a certain service life. Under normal circumstances, car tires have a service life of about 3-5 years. Since tires are exposed to wind, sun, and rain for long periods, the rubber gradually ages. Aged tires lose strength, so when tires reach their service life, they should be replaced promptly.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Hongguang S1.5?

Wuling Hongguang S1.5L model has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, which is the officially announced data. The fuel grade for the Wuling Hongguang S1.5L model is 92, with a fuel consumption of 6.5-6.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 746-769 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge in the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is recommended to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safe level, and there is still some space from the safe level to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow the fuel to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.

Can a puncture on the tire edge be repaired?

A puncture on the tire edge cannot be repaired and requires replacement. This is because the edge and sidewall of the tire are the most vulnerable areas, with relatively thin thickness. If a simple repair is performed after a puncture, any damage can easily lead to a blowout from the damaged area. A tire blowout while driving is extremely dangerous, so repair is not recommended, only replacement is advised. To reduce vibration, passenger car tires do not have a steel belt layer in the sidewall, only consisting of two layers of rubber and two layers of cord fabric, making it the weakest part of the tire. Additionally, the sidewall undergoes deformation and recovery cycles during rotation. If a repair is attempted, the adhesive patch on the sidewall may peel off. If a mushroom plug repair is used, it can cause the sidewall cords to break, leading to bulging.

What to Do When There Are Cracks Inside a Car Tire?

When there are cracks inside a car tire, it is necessary to observe the length of the cracks. If the crack length is less than 6 millimeters, it can be repaired at a maintenance shop. If it exceeds 6 millimeters, the tire needs to be replaced. The main functions of tires are: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load of the car; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Reducing and absorbing the vibration and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations and early damage to car components; 4. Adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reducing driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency. Methods for maintaining car tires include: 1. Regularly removing debris from the tire tread; 2. Checking the wear condition of the tires; 3. Avoiding curbs and potholes; 4.
