The tire model of the Audi A4 is 245/45R18, which indicates that the tire width is 245 millimeters, the aspect ratio is 45, 'R' stands for radial tire, and '18' means it can be mounted on 18-inch rims. An aspect ratio of 45 means the sidewall height is 45% of the tread width. The larger the aspect ratio, the thicker the sidewall, which improves comfort but reduces handling performance. The Audi A4 is a B-segment model launched by FAW-Volkswagen. It comes in three engine displacements: 1.8T, 2.4T, and 3.0T. The 1.8T is available in four variants: manual base model, automatic base model, comfort model, and technology-leading model. The 2.4T is available in three variants: comfort model, comfort sport model, and comfort premium model. The 3.0T is only available in one variant, equipped with the quattro all-wheel-drive system.

I've been driving my Audi A4 for three years now, and the tire size is 225/45 R18, which is pretty standard for my sport version. After all these miles, I feel it significantly enhances the handling, especially making it less prone to skidding on curves. For routine maintenance, I go to the garage every six months to check the tire pressure, keeping it around 34 psi—too high affects comfort, and too low increases fuel consumption. Additionally, tire models can vary greatly depending on the car version; for example, the base model might use 205/55 R16, which is more suitable for city commuting. I recommend that car owners regularly rotate their tires to avoid uneven wear. When getting new tires, it's best to choose certified brands like Michelin or Goodyear, which can extend the tire's lifespan. The tire selection for the Audi A4 takes into account many safety factors, and neglecting them can easily lead to problems.

I've worked in an auto repair shop for many years and have handled numerous tire replacement services for the Audi A4. Common tire specifications include 225/50 R17 or 225/45 R18, depending on the year and configuration. For example, the 2020 sports version often uses 18-inch tires for more stable handling. I always remind customers to check tread depth – once it falls below 1.6mm, replacement is necessary to avoid skidding and compromised braking in wet conditions. When installing new tires, I recommend balancing all four wheel positions to prevent uneven wear. The Audi factory manual specifies recommended sizes, as choosing the wrong ones may affect steering responsiveness. For regular maintenance, check tire pressure monthly – maintaining it between 32-36 psi with minor fluctuations is acceptable. For frequent long-distance driving, selecting tires with wear-resistant materials is advisable.

I bought this Audi A4 second-hand and replaced the tires with 245/40 R18, which provide better grip than the standard 225/45 R18. It feels exhilarating to drive, with quick response when cornering. There are significant differences in tires across different Audi versions. The base models usually come with 205/55 R16, which offer lower fuel consumption but poorer comfort. Personally, I prefer 18-inch tires because they enhance the overall driving dynamics and make the car more stable. For daily use, pay attention to tire cleanliness—excessive dirt and dust can shorten their lifespan. I give them a simple brush wash every week. Also, don’t just go for cheap tires when choosing; brands like Pirelli are well-suited for sporty models.

Does a six-year-old car in 2021 require an on-site inspection?

A six-year-old car requires an on-site inspection. Only after passing the inspection can the annual inspection compliance mark be obtained. Inspection of vehicle components: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and functional, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records. Inspection of vehicle functions: Verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the requirements of the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles." Check for vehicle modifications: Inspect whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or transformed, whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there have been any changes, and whether the necessary approval and modification procedures have been completed.

What are the consequences of starting a car directly in third gear?

Starting a car in third gear is theoretically possible, but the likelihood of stalling is quite high, making it practically very difficult. Essentially, only drivers unfamiliar with cars would attempt to start in third gear, as starting requires more precise coordination between the clutch, throttle, and brake. Often, the car stalls before the clutch even reaches the semi-engagement point. Additional information: Starting a manual transmission car in third gear causes significant wear on the clutch plates. The semi-engagement phase lasts longer, and the semi-clutch point is harder to find. Starting in third gear can easily lead to lugging, which is highly detrimental and should be avoided. During startup, the engine's RPM drops suddenly, causing the engine to sputter and nearly stall—a severe lugging condition that is very harmful to the engine.

What Causes the Car Fan to Keep Running After the Air Conditioner is Turned Off?

Check if the electric fan is functioning properly. Normally, the electric fan has two speed settings: low speed and high speed. The high-speed setting activates when the air conditioning pressure is too high or when the engine coolant temperature reaches 103 degrees Celsius. Inside the car, there is also a button labeled 'C', which is the recirculation button. This button can block the airflow between the inside and outside of the car. Especially in summer, turning on the recirculation mode can significantly enhance the cooling effect. Additional Information: This feature is typically used right after turning on the air conditioning to help the car interior reach the desired temperature quickly. However, prolonged use of recirculation without air exchange may lead to dizziness, chest tightness, or other symptoms of oxygen deficiency among passengers. Therefore, it is advisable to turn off the recirculation function after some time to allow fresh air to circulate before turning it back on.

Is it okay if water reaches half of the car tire?

If water reaches half of the car tire and the vehicle is stationary and not in motion, there is no issue with the vehicle itself. However, it is important to observe whether the water level is rising. If you must leave the waterlogged area, always check before opening the car door to ensure the water has not reached the height of the car's threshold, thereby preventing water from entering the interior. Below is additional information regarding water reaching the tires: 1. Do not continue driving: If water reaches half of the car tire, it is generally advised not to continue driving. If driving is necessary, always choose a route with shallow water. During the drive, carefully assess the water's depth, flow rate, and the nature of the waterbed, as well as the width of the entry and exit points and road conditions, to determine if it is safe to proceed. 2. When confirming whether your vehicle's structure can pass through: Generally, choose the shortest distance, shallowest water level, slowest flow, and firmest waterbed. Avoid revving the engine or accelerating abruptly to prevent water from splashing into the engine and causing it to stall; maintain steady acceleration while crossing the water, avoid stopping midway, and try to avoid shifting gears or making sharp turns. If the engine stalls, remember not to restart the vehicle.

What is the rearcooler switch in a car?

The rearcooler in a car is the rear window defogger switch. When this switch is pressed, the rear window defogger, the exterior rearview mirror defoggers, and the front wiper de-icing device will all activate simultaneously. The defoggers and de-icing device will automatically turn off after approximately 15 minutes. Below is more information about car defoggers: 1. Introduction: The car defogger is located on the center console. The car defogger switch controls the defogger, which is used to reduce moisture, fog, and frost on the front and rear windshields and exterior rearview mirrors to improve visibility. 2. The physical principle of cold air defogging in cars: After the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the cooled object in the evaporator, it vaporizes into low-temperature, low-pressure steam, which is then drawn into the compressor, compressed into high-temperature, high-pressure steam, and discharged into the condenser. 3. The physical principle of hot air defogging in cars: When gas containing mist flows through the defogger at a certain speed, due to the inertia of the gas, the droplets that aggregate from collisions with the wave plates are very large. The gravity caused by the droplets exceeds the combined force of the gas lift and the surface tension of the liquid, causing the droplets to separate from the surface of the wave plates.
