The tire model of BMW 520 is 225/55R17. The first number 225 represents the tire width of 225MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, the letter R stands for radial tire, and 17 denotes the rim diameter of 17 inches. The BMW 520 has a top speed of 130km/h, accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 9.6 seconds, and has a fuel consumption of 8.0L per 100km. In addition to the model, the tire also carries 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".

My BMW 520 came with 225/55 R17 tires from the factory, which are quite standard in size and provide stable driving performance. The grip is particularly good on highways, and the anti-skid effect in rainy conditions is also commendable. The rims are typically 17-inch with a sporty design. However, when replacing tires, don't just focus on the model. Remember to check the production date and brand, such as Goodyear or Continental, as these can affect comfort and noise levels. I usually maintain my tires by regularly rotating them, which helps extend their lifespan.

Why can't the ae86 be driven on the road?

Although the ae86 is very famous, it was never officially imported into China. If there are any, they were brought into the country through various channels, so the number of ae86s in China is very small. Even if there are any, very few meet the requirements for road use. As a car from the 1980s, production ceased early, and more than 30 years have passed since then. Most of these cars do not meet China's emission policies, and safety is also a serious issue. Additionally, considering the scarcity of repair parts, getting one on the road is extremely difficult. More details are as follows: 1. The ae86 is the fifth-generation model of the COROLLA first produced in 1983. The ae86 is just the chassis code for this model, and the official name of the car is "Corolla" or the fourth-generation Corolla. 2. In China, most people learned about the ae86 through the Japanese manga "Initial D" or the later adapted domestic movie of the same name. The code "ae86" already contains the basic information about this car: "A" represents the Toyota 4A series engine, "E" under Toyota represents the Corolla (the later Corolla), "8" represents the E80 series, which is the fifth-generation Corolla, and the final "6" represents the model version.

Which is faster, a rear axle ratio of 4.11 or 3.7?

A ratio of 3.7 is faster than a ratio of 4.11. Generally speaking, the smaller the ratio, the faster the speed, and the larger the ratio, the greater the torque. A smaller ratio means the vehicle can achieve higher speeds and is more fuel-efficient, while a larger ratio provides more power for climbing hills but consumes more fuel. With the same transmission, a 3.7 ratio can handle a smaller load capacity compared to a 4.11 ratio. Below is some relevant information about gear ratios: 1. Introduction: The gear ratio refers to the gear transmission ratio of the main reducer in the vehicle's drive axle. It can also be calculated as the ratio of the rotational angular velocity of the driveshaft to that of the axle's half-shaft. Therefore, under certain conditions, the smaller the ratio, the more fuel-efficient the vehicle. 2. Do not arbitrarily replace the reduction gears: Normally, the gear ratio for each gear in a vehicle is fixed, and the ratio of the main reduction gear is even more so. Therefore, it is recommended that vehicle owners do not arbitrarily replace the main reduction gear, as doing so may affect the vehicle's performance.

What is the function of the cruise control in the Hongqi HS5?

The cruise control function in the Hongqi HS5 allows the vehicle to maintain a set speed without the driver needing to press the accelerator pedal, enabling the car to travel at a constant speed. Below are the specific details about the Hongqi HS5: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Hongqi H5 is a sedan. It has a wheelbase of 2875 mm, with overall dimensions of 4945 mm in length, 1845 mm in width, and 1470 mm in height. 2. Powertrain: This model is equipped with a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine across all variants, coded as CA4GC18TD-11. The 1.8-liter turbocharged engine delivers 180 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission from Aisin. 3. Suspension: The Hongqi H5 uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.

What to Do When the Car Behind Uses High Beams?

The car behind keeps using high beams. First, slow down and avoid the glare. At the same time, use the anti-glare rearview mirror as much as possible. Here are specific methods: 1. Slow down: When your eyes lose vision due to strong light, do not slam on the brakes out of fear, as this may cause more casualties. First, release the accelerator and wait for the other car to pass. If necessary, turn on the signal light and pull over. 2. Avoid the glare point: If the driver behind did not suddenly turn on the high beams, you can try to avoid the glare point before they overtake. Although it may still feel very dazzling, it will not cause temporary blindness. After the car behind passes safely, you can resume normal driving. 3. Use the anti-glare rearview mirror: If you are flashed by the high beams of the car behind, you can turn on the anti-glare function of the rearview mirror. Then, tap the brakes to signal the car behind. Never retaliate with a sudden brake. If the driver still does not turn off the high beams after the warning, safely change lanes and let them pass first.

How long does it take to change tires?

Generally, it takes about 30 minutes for a beginner to change one tire, but an experienced person may take less than 30 minutes. Professional technicians at a 4S shop can replace a tire in about 15 minutes. Changing all four tires would take around an hour. Here are some relevant details: 1. If conditions allow: If conditions permit, it is recommended to change all four tires of the car at the same time. This ensures that all four tires have the same tread pattern and wear level, providing consistent grip for all wheels. If different tread patterns or wear levels are used together, at least ensure that tires with the same tread pattern and wear level are on the same axle to avoid performance issues due to varying grip. 2. If conditions do not allow: If conditions do not permit, you can replace the two tires on the same axle, but make sure they have the same tread pattern, structure, brand, specifications, load index, and speed rating. For safety reasons, it is best to place new tires on the front and old ones on the rear. At the very least, ensure that tires on the same axle are identical to avoid skidding during emergency braking due to uneven friction between the left and right tires.

Can a Car with Replaced LED Headlights Pass the Annual Inspection?

Whether a car with replaced LED headlights can pass the annual inspection depends on the specifications and performance of the modified headlights. If the color temperature, brightness, and beam angle of the modified headlights meet the national safety requirements, they can pass the inspection. There are two main aspects to check: Whether the brightness meets the requirement, which means the brightness must not be less than 1400 lumens. Whether the beam angle is up to standard, meaning the high and low beams must be properly aligned. Essentially, as long as the modified LED headlights do not compromise driving safety, they can pass the inspection. Relevant regulations for the annual vehicle inspection: Vehicles that fail the inspection must be repaired within a specified period. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further driving. Vehicles that do not undergo the inspection without reason or fail the inspection are not allowed to drive on the road or transfer ownership. Vehicles that meet the scrapping conditions or exceed the prescribed usage period will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, records deleted, and the vehicles scrapped.
