The tire size of the Lexus RX450 is 235/55R20. The first number, 235, represents the tire width of 235MM. The 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55, meaning the section height is 55% of the width. The 20 represents the rim diameter of 20 inches, and the letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. The brand of the Lexus RX450 tire is Dunlop, featuring multi-spoke alloy wheels, with the spare tire being non-full size. If you want to replace the tire yourself, you can follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, making sure the jack is positioned under the vehicle and at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap and loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not fully loosen the nuts, just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when first loosening the nuts ensures that the nuts turn, not the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they come off, repeating this step for all lug nuts, then completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the wheel hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and tighten them by hand until all nuts are concealed. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings 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 size compatible with the tire, facilitating practical use, such as "Standard Rim 5.00F".

My Lexus RX450 originally came with 235/55R20 tires, which I specifically confirmed during last year's maintenance. This size provides a good balance between comfort and support, with decent wet traction. When replacing tires, pay attention to the load index and speed rating markings - mine shows 103V on the sidewall. Never buy the wrong size as it could affect the speedometer display. I recommend prioritizing all-season tires from Michelin or Bridgestone for durability and quiet performance.

Two years ago, when helping a friend pick up the RX450 hybrid version, I specifically researched the tires. This car has two tire configurations: the high-end version comes with 20-inch wheels fitted with 235/55R20 tires, while the base model uses 235/60R18 tires on 18-inch wheels. The newer models might use wider 265/50R20 tires. When replacing tires, pay attention to the load index on the sidewall, such as 102H indicating a load capacity of 850 kg. By the way, tire pressure is crucial—maintaining 2.3 bar when the tires are cold is most fuel-efficient, and tires should be replaced when the tread depth is below 3mm.

Can I Register a Car Bought in Another City with My Hometown License Plate?

You can register a car bought in another city with your hometown license plate, but before purchasing, make sure the vehicle comes with a legitimate invoice and a vehicle qualification certificate, commonly referred to as the "big book." This is especially important for used cars. For used cars, also check whether the vehicle's insurance is still valid, as driving without valid insurance is prohibited, making it impossible to register the car in your hometown. Obtain a temporary license plate at the place of purchase, which is valid for only seven days. Ensure you drive the car back to your hometown within this period and register it with a formal license plate on time. Once back in your hometown, bring the original and a copy of the vehicle qualification certificate, the original purchase invoice, the tax payment certificate, the owner's ID, and the insurance policy to complete the formal license plate registration process.

What is the function of fog lights?

The functions of fog lights: 1. Front fog lights can improve visibility in unclear road conditions ahead by providing a high-intensity scattered light source that penetrates thick fog, serving to alert oncoming drivers; 2. Rear fog lights are designed to make the vehicle more visible to other road users behind in low-visibility conditions such as fog, snow, or rain. Installed at the rear of the vehicle, they emit light at a higher intensity than tail lights. Fog lights are divided into front and rear types, with front fog lights typically being bright yellow and rear fog lights red. The symbols for front and rear fog lights differ slightly: the front fog light symbol features downward light lines, while the rear fog light symbol has parallel lines, usually located on the dashboard inside the vehicle.

Where is the cabin air filter located in the MG6?

The cabin air filter in the MG6 is located in the engine compartment, near the right turn signal, beneath the windshield wipers. The cabin air filter is used to filter particles from the air, such as dust, pollen, soot, abrasive particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, etc. In terms of appearance, the MG6's design differs significantly from the Roewe 550, with the MG6 adopting a more sporty design style, resulting in a sharper and more dynamic front fascia. The distinctive BMW-like double-kidney grille is a traditional feature of MG models, while the blackened headlights are as sharp as those on the Roewe 550, sharing many similarities with the earlier W2 concept car.

What are the symptoms of clutch slipping failure?

The symptoms of clutch slipping failure: 1. When starting the car, completely releasing the clutch pedal does not allow the car to start or makes starting difficult; 2. During acceleration while driving, the vehicle speed does not increase with the rise in engine RPM, and the engine's power is not fully transmitted to the drive wheels, resulting in weak driving force; 3. When fully loaded and going uphill, the slipping is more obvious, and in severe cases, a burning smell from overheating friction linings may occur. Causes of clutch slipping: 1. The clutch pedal free play is too small or nonexistent, causing the release bearing to frequently press against the diaphragm spring, keeping the pressure plate in a semi-engaged state; 2. Reduced elasticity of the diaphragm spring; 3. Excessive wear or hardening of the friction disc, contamination with oil, or exposed rivets; 4. Loose connecting bolts between the clutch and flywheel; 5. Improper adjustment of the release levers.
