The tire model of RAV4 is 225/65R17. The first number 225 represents the tire width of 225MM, 65 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 65%, meaning the section height is 65% of the width. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 17 represents the rim diameter of 17 inches. The RAV4 has a top speed of 180km/h, accelerates from 0-100km/h in 5 seconds, and has a fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100km. In addition to the model, the tire also displays 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 tires from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Commonly used 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".

As a long-time Toyota RAV4 owner, let me share some insights. The tire specifications vary depending on the model year. For newer models like the 2023 or 2024 RAV4, the base LE trim typically uses 225/65R17 tires, which means 225mm tread width, 65% aspect ratio, and 17-inch rims. Higher trims like Adventure or XSE come with 235/55R19 or even larger wheels. The easiest way to check your tire size is to look at the sticker on the driver's side door jamb or consult the owner's manual. Using incorrect tire sizes can cause vehicle instability and compromise handling safety. Don't forget to maintain proper tire pressure during maintenance – keep it around 35 PSI when cold, as both overinflation and underinflation affect ride comfort. I've seen older models (pre-2010) using 205/70R16 tires, which are smaller but provide good stability. Always match OEM specifications when replacing tires to avoid increased fuel consumption or uneven tire wear.

I've been driving for over a decade, and the tire specifications for the RAV4 vary by model. For instance, my 2018 hybrid version comes with 225/65R17 tires, where the numbers represent a tire width of 225mm, an aspect ratio of 65, and a 17-inch wheel size. The new RAV4 typically comes standard with this size, while higher-end versions might upgrade to 18-inch wheels. To check your model's specifications, the owner's manual is your go-to guide; the label on the edge of the door also lists the details. Remembering these specs can save you a lot of hassle when replacing tires—unlike beginners who might buy the wrong size, leading to a bumpy and unstable ride. Regularly check tire pressure with a digital gauge, maintaining it between 32-35 PSI to extend tire life. All-season tires are recommended for their cost-effectiveness, especially in northern regions with variable weather. Note that sizes may vary slightly by year; for example, RAV4s from the 1990s used smaller 15-inch wheels.

What are the causes of Camry idle vibration?

Camry idle vibration may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits - The most common cause of car vibration is dirty throttle valves or excessive carbon buildup in fuel injectors. When there's too much carbon deposit inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by cold start injectors will be largely absorbed by these deposits; 2. Engine misfire - This mainly refers to one or more cylinders not working properly, manifested as: intermittent exhaust gas flow with noticeable exhaust pipe vibration, obvious engine vibration that can be felt, sometimes accompanied by "popping" sounds. This is mostly related to ignition coil failure; 3. Uneven air-fuel mixture in the engine can also cause idle vibration after cold start. The lower the temperature, the more fuel required for cold start, and the presence of carbon deposits will significantly affect whether cold start proceeds smoothly.

Does idling the car with the heater on cause damage to the vehicle?

Idling the car with the heater on does not cause damage to the vehicle as long as the engine reaches its normal operating temperature. However, if the heater is turned on while the engine is still cold and has not reached its normal operating temperature, it can slow down the engine's warming process, leading to increased fuel consumption. Nevertheless, this does not harm the car. Below is some relevant information: 1. The fuel consumption when using the heater during idling depends on the car's displacement and engine tuning. For household cars, idling with the heater on for one hour consumes approximately 1 to 2 liters of fuel, though this may vary depending on the car model. 2. While idling with the heater on does not cause serious damage to the car, it can affect the passengers inside. Since the fuel does not burn completely during idling, carbon monoxide is produced. If the windows are not opened, the concentration of carbon monoxide inside the car can gradually increase, potentially leading to carbon monoxide poisoning for the passengers.

Can I use my original license plate when changing to a new car?

When changing to a new car, you can retain your original license plate. For car owners who wish to keep their original plate, it is essential to ensure that the original plate has been used for more than one year. Only then will the plate be retained under the original owner's name during the transfer process. The retention period is one year. If the owner does not apply to reuse the plate within this period, it will automatically expire after one year, and the vehicle management office will reclaim the plate, making it unavailable for future use. The required documents for changing the car without changing the plate are as follows: 1. "Motor Vehicle Transfer or Registration Application Form"; 2. Original and copy of the owner's ID card; 3. Proof of vehicle purchase tax payment or tax exemption certificate, vehicle annual inspection certificate, and relevant documents submitted during vehicle registration; 4. Non-local residents also need to bring a residence permit and proof of the vehicle's origin; 5. For imported vehicles, additional documents include import certificates, vehicle whole-vehicle factory qualification certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance certificate.

Should the tire pressure be the same for front and rear wheels of a sedan?

Front tire pressure and rear tire pressure can be different, but the difference should not be too large. Tire pressure is a range, not an exact value. In certain specific situations, it is more appropriate for the rear tire pressure to be higher than the front tire pressure. Below is relevant information: 1. For example, when the rear seats are fully occupied by three people and the trunk is also loaded with many items, the rear tire pressure should be higher than the front tire pressure. Higher rear tire pressure can make the car more fuel-efficient, resulting in lower fuel consumption. Additionally, the car can accelerate faster. The principle is: the higher the tire pressure, the smaller the contact area between the tire and the ground; the lower the tire pressure, the larger the contact area. 2. The front wheels are not only the driving wheels but also the steering wheels. If the front tire pressure is higher, the wear on the front tires will increase. Both the front and rear tire pressures must be within the standard range, and the difference should ideally not exceed 0.1bar.

Is 0W40 Oil Suitable for All Seasons?

0W40 engine oil is considered all-season oil, but its suitability still depends on the temperature of the location where the vehicle is used. The 0W designation indicates the oil's cold-start performance—the smaller the number, the better the oil's cold resistance. Therefore, using 0W40 oil allows for easy engine starts even in cold weather. The number 40 represents the kinematic viscosity standard at 100°C (between 12.5mm²/s and 16.3mm²/s). Additional information: 1. In fact, many modern engine oils are designed for both winter and summer use, primarily depending on the oil's quality grade and performance. If the engine frequently operates under high-load conditions (accelerating oil consumption), it is advisable to use full synthetic or semi-synthetic oil. 2. As for quality grades, following the level specified in the vehicle's manual is generally sufficient for daily use. However, if the vehicle is often driven in congested urban environments, upgrading to a higher-grade oil (more environmentally friendly and economical) may be considered.
