The tire size model for the Sail is 175/70R14. In 175/70R14, the first number 175 represents the tire width of 175MM, 70 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 70%, meaning the section height is 70% of the width, and 14 stands for the rim diameter of 14 inches. The letter R in the middle denotes a radial tire. The Chevrolet Sail uses Triangle brand tires, and the spare tire specification is a non-full-size tire. If you want to replace the tire yourself, you can follow the steps below: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, the jack should be positioned under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hub cover, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, do not completely loosen them, just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts turn rather than the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, and completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and tighten them by hand until all nuts are snug. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, the tire also bears 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 at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of the tire 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: indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as standard rim 5.00F.

What Causes Oil Leakage from the Under-Exhaust of a Truck?

Truck under-exhaust oil leakage is caused by damage to the engine's crankcase forced ventilation system. When this occurs, it is essential to replace the crankcase forced ventilation system immediately. Failure to repair it promptly can lead to more severe vehicle malfunctions. Here is a relevant introduction: All automotive engines are equipped with a crankcase forced ventilation system. When the car engine is running, some high-temperature and high-pressure gases will enter the crankcase through the piston rings. If these gases in the crankcase are not discharged in time, the crankcase pressure will become too high, affecting the crankcase's sealing performance and hindering the downward movement of the piston.

What Causes the Bumping Sensation When Braking Hard?

The causes of a bumping sensation when braking hard include worn brake pads, loose chassis components, aging rubber chassis parts, and lower arm failures. Car owners can eliminate this issue by replacing brake pads, tightening chassis screws, or replacing rubber components. Here's an introduction to automotive braking systems: 1. The automotive braking system, also known as the car's brake system, enables the vehicle to decelerate or stop as required by the driver. It ensures stationary vehicles remain stable under various road conditions and maintains steady speed control for vehicles descending slopes. 2. The braking system only functions when the engine is running. Most modern vehicles use front disc/rear drum brake systems, while some models employ four-wheel disc brake systems.

What is the difference between semi-slick tires and full-slick tires?

Here are the differences between semi-slick tires and full-slick tires: 1. Different properties: Full-slick tires melt into a gel-like state when the tread temperature rises due to friction with the road surface during use, providing excellent grip for the vehicle. Semi-slick tires can achieve grip close to full-slick tires when the temperature rises, while maintaining controlled wear levels. 2. Different grip levels: Semi-slick tires soften the tread when reaching operating temperature, generating high adhesion to improve grip. Full-slick tires turn into a gel state when the surface temperature reaches 90°C, enhancing grip. 3. Different characteristics: Full-slick tires increase contact area with the road surface, improving grip at certain temperatures. Semi-slick tires do not have this feature.

How often should a 10-year-old car undergo annual inspection?

A 10-year-old car requires an annual on-site inspection. Once the vehicle reaches 15 years of usage, it must undergo inspection every 6 months thereafter. The vehicle is only permitted for use after passing the inspection. If the vehicle fails the on-site inspection, there are three opportunities for repairs. Below is relevant information: Required documents: First, you need to bring the vehicle's registration certificate, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the owner's ID card. Additionally, any outstanding traffic violations or unresolved traffic accidents involving the vehicle must be settled before the inspection process can proceed. Vehicle inspections can be scheduled in advance to effectively save time.

Why is the car shaking while driving?

The following is a detailed analysis of the specific situations when a car shakes while driving: 1. Shaking during startup: This is caused by insufficient fuel combustion leading to inadequate power. 2. Idling shake: This occurs due to severe engine carbon deposits, ignition system issues, or unstable oil pressure. 3. High-speed shaking: This is caused by tire pressure being too high or too low, abnormal tire wear, rim deformation, shock absorber failure, or tire imbalance issues. 4. Engine mount aging: The engine mount is the shock absorption system of the engine, responsible for absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mount is faulty, these vibrations will transmit to the steering wheel and the cabin, causing the car to shake.
