The Highlander comes with two original tire size specifications: 235/65R18 and 235/55R20. In 235/65R18, the first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 65 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 65%, meaning the section height is 65% of the width, and 18 stands for the rim diameter of 18 inches. The letter "R" in the middle denotes a radial tire. In 235/55R20, the first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, and 20 stands for the rim diameter of 20 inches. The letter "R" in the middle denotes a radial tire. The Elite trim of the Highlander is equipped with 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, featuring a robust and simple five-spoke silver design, paired with Dunlop SP-SPOORT-MAXX-050 series tires. The Premium and Platinum trims use identical 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels with slender silver-gray multi-spoke combinations, matched with Yokohama BluEarth-XT series or Dunlop SP-SPOORTMAXX-050 series tires. If you wish to replace the tires yourself, follow these steps: Retrieve the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, making sure the jack is positioned under the vehicle and at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise without fully removing them, just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when first loosening the nuts ensures the nuts turn instead of the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this for all lug nuts, then remove them completely; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and hand-tighten them until all nuts are snug. The tire replacement is now complete. Besides the model, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Shows the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.00F".

What are the numerical standards for wheel alignment?

The numerical standards for wheel alignment are: 1. The range of wheel camber angle is plus or minus ten degrees; 2. The range of toe angle is plus or minus six degrees; 3. The range of caster angle is plus or minus fifteen degrees; 4. The range of kingpin inclination angle is plus or minus twenty degrees. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, and adjustments are made to ensure good driving performance and a certain degree of reliability. The functions of wheel alignment include: 1. Maintaining the optimal driving angle between the tires and the vehicle body; 2. Reducing wear on tires and steering components during driving; 3. Keeping the vehicle stable in straight-line driving and making steering easier; 4. Ensuring that the rear wheels or front wheels can automatically return to the correct position after steering.

What does 10PR tire mean?

10PR indicates the ply rating of the tire (the higher the ply rating, the greater the load capacity, but this is only an indicative index and does not represent the actual number of plies). Below is an introduction to tire ply ratings: 1. Introduction: Tire ply refers to the number of cord layers in the tire, while 'rating' implies the grade. Early tires were made by overlapping several cord layers, and the number of layers indicated the load capacity the tire could bear. The ply rating is an index used to represent the strength of the tire, usually denoted by the abbreviation 'PR'. It does not necessarily represent the actual number of plies. 2. The actual number of plies in the tire carcass: The number of plies depends on the type of skeleton material, the load rating of the tire, and the safety factor. For example, a nylon cord tire with 6 plies of carcass fabric is equivalent to a 12-ply rating, while 8 plies of carcass fabric are equivalent to a 14-ply rating.

How Often Should the Coolant in Elantra Be Replaced?

The coolant in the Elantra should be replaced every two years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference interval. For commercial vehicles with higher mileage, the replacement cycle should be shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the coolant level regularly and top it up if it's low. If you notice any suspended particles, sediment, or discoloration in the coolant, replace it immediately and clean the system. Coolant Replacement Method: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for leaks or cracks in all pipes, especially the five-way hose. The five-way hose, named for its five connecting interfaces, distributes coolant to different parts of the car. If there are any signs of coolant leakage in this section, replace the hose or reseal the connections as needed. Drain the old coolant and flush the channels with clean water. Add water to the coolant reservoir and let it circulate through the engine cooling system. Idle the engine for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the water to circulate. The initial outflow will be slightly pinkish; continue flushing until the water runs clear. Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add new coolant through the radiator hose for quick filling. Then, fill the coolant reservoir almost to the top with another bottle of coolant. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As air is purged from the system, the coolant level will drop. Top it up to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

How to Adjust Valves on a Three-Cylinder Car?

The method for adjusting valves on a three-cylinder car is as follows: 1. Rotate the crankshaft to determine the engine's firing order; 2. Rotate the crankshaft to reach the compression top dead center of the third cylinder; 3. With the third cylinder at compression top dead center and other valves closed, adjust the valves; 4. After adjustment, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees to reach the exhaust top dead center of the third cylinder. Examples of three-cylinder car models include: Ford Focus 1.0T, Buick Excelle 1.0T, MINI Cooper, Geely Binrui, Honda Civic, etc. Taking the Ford Focus 1.0T as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4647mm, width 1810mm, height 1468mm, with a wheelbase of 2705mm.

Will a Hybrid Vehicle Get Damaged If Not Charged for a Long Time?

Hybrid vehicles will not get damaged if not charged for a long time. When the battery is depleted, a hybrid vehicle automatically increases the engine power. The increased engine power not only meets the car's energy demands but also drives the generator to recharge the battery. The powertrain of a hybrid vehicle consists of: 1. Control system; 2. Drive system; 3. Auxiliary power system and battery. Hybrid vehicles use an electric motor as an auxiliary power source to assist the engine, and this auxiliary electric motor can generate strong and smooth power during normal driving. The principle of a hybrid vehicle is: both the internal combustion engine and the electric motor work simultaneously to provide energy for the car, thereby driving the vehicle. This results in improvements in fuel economy, comfort, and acceleration.
