Tire model numbers are mostly marked in the format like: 215/70R15. The meanings of these numbers are as follows: 1. 215 indicates the tire section width, the unit is mm. Generally, tire widths range between 145—285mm, with intervals of 10mm; 2. 70 is the aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tire sidewall height to the tire section width; 3. 70 represents 70%. Generally, tire aspect ratios range between 30%—80%. 4. Under normal circumstances, ordinary cars should not use tires with an aspect ratio >75%, while luxury cars and high-performance sports cars are recommended to use tires with an aspect ratio <60%; 5. R is the abbreviation for Radial, indicating the tire has a radial structure, and 15 is the rim diameter, the unit is inches.

The tire model can usually be found on the sidewall of the tire, engraved with a series of numbers and letters, like on my car it's 205/55R16. 205 indicates the tread width of 205 millimeters, 55 is the aspect ratio or height proportion at 55%, R stands for radial construction, and 16 means the wheel diameter is 16 inches. This stuff is pretty crucial—mismatched models can affect driving experience and safety. For example, wider tires offer better stability at high speeds but consume more fuel, while narrower tires save fuel in the city but are prone to slipping in the rain. I've driven different models and seen a friend's car suffer suspension damage due to incorrect tire models, leading to extra repair costs. It's generally recommended to check tire wear and whether the model suits road conditions every six months, especially ensuring a match when replacing tires.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Geely Emgrand?

Geely Emgrand 1.5L manual transmission has an average fuel consumption of 5.7-7.9L per 100 kilometers. However, the actual fuel consumption should be based on real-world usage, as many factors can affect fuel consumption, such as driving conditions and driving habits. Common factors include: 1. Avoid unnecessary idling: Generally, idling a car for more than one minute consumes more fuel than restarting the engine. Therefore, if the parking time is long, you can turn off the engine. 2. Environmental impact on the vehicle: In summer, vehicle fuel consumption increases significantly, mainly due to air conditioning use. In urban areas during summer, fuel consumption can increase by 20%-30% compared to spring and autumn, especially when parked outdoors. Fuel consumption also increases in winter or cold regions because, in low temperatures, the fuel injector's atomization capability is poorer, and the vehicle's lubrication system is affected by temperature, leading to greater driving resistance and correspondingly higher fuel consumption.

What colors are available for the BMW X2?

BMW X2 is available in Stream Gold, Sunset Orange, Sky Blue, Sapphire Black, Mineral Gray, Whirlwind Brown, Alpine White, and Mediterranean Blue. Here is some relevant information about the BMW X2: 1. Vehicle Design: The design does not emphasize a fastback style but highlights its crossover sport SUV characteristics through many details. For example, the front bumper design adopts the latest design concept, featuring an irregular double-kidney grille, large black decorative covers, and triangular fog light positions with aerodynamic-inspired designs, creating a strong overall sense of sportiness. On the side, BMW engineers have also crafted a distinct coupe SUV style by raising the waistline and lowering the roofline. 2. Features: The BMW X2 offers more features than the Mercedes-Benz GLA, including LED headlights, sport-style seats, rear armrests, rear cup holders, rain-sensing wipers, and more. Additionally, all models come with an 8.8-inch NBT display, and the built-in infotainment system has been upgraded to the sixth-generation iDrive.

What is the engine RPM at 120 mph on the highway?

When the speed reaches 120 km/h, the RPM is generally around 3400 rpm. Engine RPM levels: The level of engine RPM relates to the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the engine's effective power varies with different RPMs. Therefore, when specifying the effective power of an engine, the corresponding RPM must also be indicated. The effective power and its corresponding RPM specified on the engine's product label are referred to as the rated power and rated RPM, respectively. The operating condition of the engine at rated power and rated RPM is called the rated condition. Engine standard power: Standard power is not the maximum power an engine can produce; it is the maximum usable limit of effective power determined based on the engine's intended use. For the same engine model, the rated power value may differ depending on its application. Effective torque also varies with engine conditions. Therefore, the maximum torque a car engine can output and its corresponding RPM are used as indicators to evaluate the engine's dynamic performance.

Why Does the Exhaust Smell Strongly of Gasoline?

Reasons for a strong gasoline smell in the exhaust are as follows: Gasoline pipe interface leakage: Leakage at the gasoline pipe interface causes the gasoline smell to enter the car through the air conditioning system. Open the engine compartment cover to check for leaks. If there is a leak, tighten the interface promptly or go to a repair shop for maintenance. Rubber hose aging: Rubber hoses in the engine compartment may age over prolonged use. Older vehicles are more prone to hose aging, which can lead to gasoline leaking into the engine compartment. Inability to restore activity: Issues with the gasoline vapor canister (charcoal canister), such as overfilling the fuel tank for a long time, can cause the activated carbon in the canister to become saturated, making it unable to restore its activity in time. Incomplete combustion: Incomplete combustion of gasoline results in unburned fuel being expelled. Sometimes, when the fuel tank is overfilled, although the fuel filler neck doesn't leak, gasoline may still flow into the canister through the pipes. Consequently, when the canister releases vapor, gasoline is also released along with it.

Where is the child lock on the Verano?

The child lock on the Buick Verano is located on the rear doors and features a lever-type design. Here are some relevant details about the Verano: 1. Vehicle Design: The Buick Verano is built based on Buick's latest family design language, featuring a winged chrome grille, winged LED automatic sensing headlights, winged LED taillights, 17-inch ten-spoke dual-tone aluminum alloy sport wheels, and a fastback-style roof. The interior follows Buick's 360-degree wraparound integrated design concept, with dynamic lines and a new cool black color scheme, creating a more youthful and sporty atmosphere. It includes a two-piece oversized panoramic sunroof, front multifunctional seats, a three-spoke sport multifunction steering wheel, dual-barrel instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch high-definition trip computer, and dual-zone independent automatic air conditioning. 2. Powertrain: In terms of power, the Verano offers two engine options: a 1.3T engine (maximum power 121kW/5600RPM) and a 1.0T engine (maximum power 92kW/6600RPM). The transmission system pairs the former with a new CVT intelligent continuously variable transmission and the latter with a 6-speed DSS intelligent transmission. The former has a fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100km, while the latter consumes 5.2L per 100km.

What is the fuel consumption of the BYD Tang?

BYD Tang's fuel consumption is 2~2.4L/100km. Here is relevant information about BYD Tang: 1. Exterior: The BYD Tang still retains some design elements from the S6 and S7 models overall, but the front end features a completely new design. Large chrome accents, a black honeycomb grille, a "big mouth" style air intake on the front bumper, LED daytime running lights, and newly designed five-spoke wheels make it noticeably sportier than the S7. On the side of the body, there is a "542" badge, indicating that the Tang is part of BYD's "542 Strategy"—where "5" stands for 0-100km/h acceleration in under 5 seconds, "4" represents all-wheel drive, and "2" signifies fuel consumption under 2L per 100km. 2. Interior: The BYD Tang borrows the S7's design style but adds a touch of luxury with large wood-grain panels on the dashboard. Details include a digital LCD instrument cluster, giving it a high-tech feel. Additionally, the central display integrates features like a compass and PM2.5 monitoring. Like the S7, the Tang also comes equipped with a Green Air-Conditioning System, which effectively purifies the air inside the cabin.
