The tire model of Toyota Prado is 265/60R18. The first number 265 indicates the tire width is 265MM, 60 means the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, that is, the section height is 60% of the width, and 18 represents the rim diameter is 18 inches. The middle letters or symbols have special meanings: "X" stands for high-pressure tire; "R", "Z" indicate radial tire; "-" represents low-pressure tire. Maximum speed is 175km/h, and fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 11.0L In addition to the model, the tire is also marked with 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 the 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 are: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: indicates the rim specification that matches the tire. It is convenient for practical use, such as "standard rim 5.00F".

I've driven a Prado for ten years. The most common tire size for the old Land Cruiser is 265/65R17. The numbers are straightforward: 265 refers to the tire width in millimeters, 65 represents the aspect ratio (height is 65% of the width), and R17 indicates a 17-inch wheel. However, the new top-tier models after 2018 use 265/60R18, where the larger wheel size results in a lower aspect ratio. When replacing tires, it's recommended to check the label on the door frame for the factory-certified specifications. For off-road conditions, AT (All-Terrain) tires are recommended, as the original HT (Highway Terrain) tires tend to slip on gravel roads. I've had good experience with Cooper AT3 tires.

In the auto repair shop, we've replaced many Prado tires. To check the exact model, look at three places: first, the yellow label on the driver's side door frame; second, the specification numbers printed on the side of the old tire; and finally, the vehicle manual. The standard size is usually 265/65R17, but differences in tire size can occur due to variations in wheel sizes between low and high trim levels. When replacing tires, pay attention to the load index (at least 110 for the Prado) and the speed rating (H grade for 210 km/h). Northern owners should remember to switch to winter tires, as the original tires can become brittle at temperatures below minus ten degrees Celsius.

What are the hazards of driving without engaging the handbrake?

Driving without engaging the handbrake can cause significant wear and tear on the brake pads, accompanied by loud abnormal noises, and in severe cases, black smoke may appear. If you forget to engage the handbrake after driving, the driver should promptly pull the handbrake to prevent excessive wear. Forgetting to release the handbrake while driving is one of the common mistakes made by beginners, which can accelerate the wear of the brake discs, thereby reducing the vehicle's braking performance. Additional Information: Forgetting to release the handbrake while driving can wear out the brake pads, shortening their lifespan, and over time, it may lead to brake failure. If the handbrake is not released, a red light on the dashboard will remain lit. If you realize that you have been driving without releasing the handbrake, you should conduct an inspection and, depending on the degree of wear of the brake components, perform necessary repairs or replacements.

Are there any disadvantages to inflating car tires with nitrogen?

Inflating car tires with nitrogen has the following disadvantages: It can cause oxygen residue: Under normal circumstances, car tires are inflated with air, and nitrogen accounts for about 78% of the air. Therefore, when inflating tires with nitrogen, the residual air will also make the nitrogen impure. The best practice is to vacuum the tires, but it is usually impossible to achieve a 100% vacuum, so there will still be a very small amount of oxygen residue (1-2%). Correspondingly, the oxygen content in the tire needs to be reduced to about 2-3% to achieve a balance between the internal and external partial pressures. Therefore, in reality, the purity of nitrogen required for inflating tires can only reach 95-98%. It can cause damage to the tires: During the vacuuming process, the tires often deform due to the vacuum. Those familiar with tires know that when vacuuming, the various structural layers of the tire, as well as the cord fabric and steel wires, will also deform, which may lead to delamination of the structural layers or breakage of the cord fabric and steel wires. In other words, inflating with nitrogen can directly cause damage to the tires.

What are the symptoms of a faulty EGR in an engine?

EGR valve failure symptoms include: engine malfunction, reduced engine power, etc. Affecting normal engine operation: A faulty EGR valve can disrupt normal engine operation, leading to unstable idling or stalling at idle, flashing warning lights, oil burning, power loss, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, and other phenomena that affect vehicle performance. Reduced engine power: If the EGR valve is damaged and remains stuck open, it can cause the engine to stall at idle, have unstable idling, experience weak acceleration or increased fuel consumption, along with a noticeable decrease in engine power. Impact on vehicle exhaust emissions: If the EGR valve is damaged and remains stuck closed, it will affect the vehicle's exhaust emissions, potentially causing them to fail to meet standards, which could result in failing the annual inspection.

How to Properly Install Car Soundproofing Strips?

Simply peel off the backing paper and adhere it to the desired location. Soundproofing strips serve to fill various gaps between car body components, providing functions such as vibration reduction, waterproofing, dustproofing, sound insulation, and decoration, thereby enhancing driving comfort and protecting the car body. Some car models come with a dash cam, while others do not. It is recommended to consult the 4S store for specific details. A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process in video and audio, providing evidence in case of traffic accidents. It can also serve as a parking monitor. The video footage from the dash cam must not be edited; if edited, it may not be useful in the event of an accident. Additionally, it helps prevent unavoidable fraudulent claims that are prevalent in society today.
