The tire model of the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is 205/60R16. The first number, 205, represents the tire width of 205MM. The number 60 indicates that the aspect ratio of the tire cross-section is 60%, meaning the cross-section height is 60% of the width. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 16 denotes the rim diameter of 16 inches. The BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer has a top speed of 235km/h, accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 7.8 seconds, and has a fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100km. In addition to the model, the tire also displays the following commonly used data: Tire cord material: Represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord fabric, R for rayon cord fabric, N for nylon cord fabric, G for steel cord fabric, and ZG for steel radial cord fabric tires. 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 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.

My newly driven BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is the 218i front-wheel-drive version, which comes with Bridgestone 205/55 R16 tires and an H speed rating. However, the specific model depends on the year and configuration. For example, the higher-end 225i might use wider 225/45 R18 tires. If my car had the optional sports package, the wheels could be upgraded to 18 inches. The tire size should be confirmed from the manual or the door frame label—don’t trust random online claims, as incorrect sizes can affect handling and fuel efficiency. My friend’s all-wheel-drive version requires slightly higher tire pressure, or else it feels unstable during high-speed cornering. When replacing tires, don’t cheap out with no-name brands; premium brands like Michelin or Continental last longer and save you the hassle of frequent changes.

What Causes Brake Noise in Winter?

Common causes of brake noise include: inferior brake pads, ice buildup in the brake disc, adhesion between brake pads and brake disc, worn-out brake pads, and insufficient oil in the booster pump. Inferior brake pads: When replacing brake pads, it is essential to choose high-quality ones. Some vehicles may have substandard or overly hard brake pads, leading to noise. Ice buildup in the brake disc: During winter, frequent rain or snow can wet the vehicle if parked outdoors. If water on the brake pads is not dried promptly, it may freeze, causing noise when braking. Adhesion between brake pads and brake disc: Excessive moisture in the brake disc area can cause rust, leading to the brake pads and disc sticking together, which results in noise. Worn-out brake pads: If you frequently hear noise while braking, and the noise becomes louder and more frequent, it indicates that the brake pads are nearly worn out. Insufficient oil in the booster pump: Lack of lubrication in the brake pads increases friction, leading to noise. Repair method: Replace the brake pads and brake disc. A water film between the brake disc and pads can also cause noise, which can be resolved by firmly pressing the brakes several times.

What are the types of automotive engine oils?

Engine oils on the market can be simply divided into mineral oils and synthetic oils based on their base oil differences (vegetable oils are not considered due to their scarcity). Synthetic oils are further categorized into: full synthetic and semi-synthetic. Lubricant base oils are mainly classified into two major types: mineral base oils and synthetic base oils. Mineral base oils are widely used and account for a large volume (approximately over 95%), but some applications require products blended with synthetic base oils. Full synthetic engine oils must pass API SN, ACEA A3/B4, and more OEM certifications to be considered world-class top-tier engine oils. For example, CEPSA's full synthetic oil, which has passed these certifications, is designated for use in F1 racing by Red Bull Racing. Full synthetic oils that only pass API certification are considered ordinary full synthetic oils. Brands of full synthetic engine oils include: CEPSA, Mobil, Castrol, Total. Brands of semi-synthetic engine oils include: Mobil Super 2000, Castrol Magnetec.
