BYD Song Plus DM-i has three tire models: 235/50R19, 235/55R18, and 245/45R20. The first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 50 indicates the tire's aspect ratio is 50%, meaning the section height is 50% of the width, the letter R stands for radial tire, and 16 represents the rim diameter of 16 inches. The BYD Song Plus DM-i has a fuel consumption of 6.9L per 100 kilometers. In addition to the model, the tire also marks the following common data: Tire cord material: Represented 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 from 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 BYD Song PLUS DMi came with 215/55 R18 tires when I bought it, which provide a comfortable ride and good fuel efficiency. Remember that 215 refers to the tire width in millimeters, 55 is the aspect ratio, and R18 indicates 18-inch rims. It's stable for daily city commuting, and the replacement cost is reasonable. The 4S store recommends Michelin or Giti as the most suitable original tires for this model. Before changing tires, it's best to check the tire pressure and wear to avoid affecting handling and prevent accidents on long trips. BYD vehicles often follow this pattern—higher trim models might use larger 235/50 R19 tires, so it's advisable to confirm the tire specifications before delivery to avoid being misled. Over time, you can also compare how different tire brands affect fuel consumption and noise levels.

How Often Should Castrol Magnetec Engine Oil Be Replaced?

Castrol Magnetec is typically replaced every 6,000 kilometers or every six months. Below is a detailed introduction about Castrol Magnetec and other automotive engine oils: 1. Overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, imparting new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of the lubricant.

What is the position of the vehicle's center of gravity when overloaded?

When a motor vehicle is overloaded, the position of the vehicle's center of gravity shifts backward. To ensure directional stability during driving, vehicles are generally designed with the center of gravity positioned forward. However, when overloaded, the increased weight at the rear causes the center of gravity to shift backward. At certain speeds, even minor steering adjustments or disturbances can lead to severe yawing or spinning, resulting in skidding or rollover. Below is a detailed introduction about vehicle overloading: 1. Overview: Overloaded vehicles typically refer to those carrying loads exceeding the maximum capacity, commonly seen in trucks and buses. 2. Impact: When a vehicle is overloaded, its control capability is reduced, increasing the likelihood of traffic accidents.

What is the appropriate speed for third gear?

Corresponding speeds for gears one to five: First gear: This is the starting speed, typically between 0-5 km/h. Second gear: Corresponding speed is 5-20 km/h. Third gear: Corresponding speed is 20-40 km/h. Fourth gear: Corresponding speed is 40-60 km/h. Fifth gear: Corresponding speed is 60-100 km/h. Gear shifting techniques: Smoothness: When engaging a new gear, the clutch should be released appropriately, and the throttle should be promptly applied to ensure smoothness. Accuracy: Physical movements should be coordinated and precise; sloppiness can cause strong jerking sensations, reducing driving comfort. Speed: Gear shifting actions should be quick, which not only enhances the car's smoothness but also reduces kinetic energy loss and lowers fuel consumption. Timeliness: Perform correct gear shifts at the right moment, avoiding shifts that are too early or too late.

What is the top speed of the Zongshen RA2?

The top speed of the Zongshen RA2 is 115km/h. Here is some relevant information about motorcycles: Types of motorcycle licenses: Currently, there are three types of motorcycle licenses in China—F, E, and D. An F license only permits driving lightweight motorcycles with an engine displacement below 50CC, but this type of license is rarely pursued. An E license allows driving any two-wheeled motorcycle regardless of displacement, with no restrictions on engine size. A D license permits driving all two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles. Therefore, as long as a driver holds an E license, they can operate all two-wheeled motorcycles, as there is no separate license for high-displacement motorcycles. Concept of a motorcycle: A motorcycle is a two or three-wheeled vehicle powered by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars. It is lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrol, passenger and cargo transport, and also serves as sports equipment.

What causes an automatic transmission to be stuck in P gear and unable to shift?

An automatic transmission being stuck in P gear and unable to shift may be due to gear lock, or not fully braking when parking, directly shifting into P gear, causing gear braking instead of brake braking. Additionally, if the entire vehicle cannot be powered on, the automatic transmission's self-protection mechanism may also prevent shifting. Specific reasons are as follows: 1. Gear lock engaged; When driving, shifting from P gear to other gears, Japanese cars generally require pressing the shift lock switch, while German cars usually require stepping on the brake. The P gear also functions as a handbrake, preventing rollback on slopes below 15 degrees, but steeper slopes require using the handbrake. 2. Other reasons: P gear lock mechanism stuck and unable to reset; shift solenoid valve damaged, unable to complete shift commands; gear linkage damaged or broken; control computer malfunction.

What is the minimum speed for third gear?

Third gear speed should not be lower than 20Km/h. First gear is the starting gear, used when the vehicle begins moving. It shares similar gear ratio and performance characteristics with reverse gear, thus prolonged high-speed operation is not recommended. Generally, you can shift to second gear once the vehicle gains momentum. Second gear serves as the passing gear, primarily used for navigating complex road conditions such as sharp-angle (90-degree) turns without special obstacles, crowded urban areas, steep slopes, and bumpy roads. Gear shifting techniques: Smoothness: When engaging a new gear, properly coordinate clutch release with timely throttle application for smooth transitions. Precision: Body movements should be coordinated and accurate - sloppy operation creates strong jerking sensations that degrade driving experience. Swiftness: Gear changes should be quick to enhance vehicle smoothness, reduce kinetic energy loss, and improve fuel efficiency. Timeliness: Perform proper gear shifts at appropriate moments - neither too early nor too late.
