Buick GL8's tire size is 225/60R17. The 225 refers to the width of the tire's cross-section, which is the distance between the two sidewalls. The 55 is the aspect ratio of the tire, representing the ratio of the tire's width to its height. A smaller number indicates a flatter tire. The R stands for the tire's structure, indicating that it is a radial tire. The 17 represents the diameter of the wheel rim. This tire model focuses on quietness, comfort, and balanced overall performance. The Buick GL8 is an MPV under SAIC-GM Buick, equipped with a 2.0T engine that delivers a maximum output power of 191 kW and a maximum torque of 350 N·m, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

As someone who has driven a Buick GL8 for many years, my car is equipped with tires sized 225/60R17. These numbers indicate a tire width of 225 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 60%, and a wheel diameter of 17 inches, which perfectly suit the stable characteristics of this MPV. The driving experience is smooth and comfortable, especially in congested urban areas, with minimal bumpiness, making family trips more reassuring. If the size is inappropriate, such as switching to smaller wheels, it can accelerate wear and increase noise. I once saw a friend experience a tire blowout due to neglecting this. I recommend sticking to the original factory size and developing the habit of checking tire pressure monthly, paying special attention to expansion issues during high summer temperatures to ensure driving safety.

What does the sync button in the car mean?

The sync button in the car means: 1. Function synchronization: It refers to the synchronization of functions, generally used for car air conditioning. 2. Sync button: It is a dual-zone synchronous temperature control button. After releasing it, different temperature settings can be achieved for the left and right dual-zone air conditioning. Precautions for using car air conditioning: 1. Regularly clean the air conditioning: During use, the air conditioning often inhales a certain amount of dust, forming dirt. After a long time, mold may develop. 2. The air conditioning temperature should not be too low: When the indoor temperature remains at a relatively low temperature for a long time, the body cannot quickly adapt due to the endocrine system, leading to various discomforts. 3. Do not stop and rest with the air conditioning on: When the car engine is running, if the gasoline in the cylinders does not burn completely, it will produce a high concentration of carbon monoxide, which can cause poisoning or even death.

How many points will be deducted for illegal parking in no-parking zones?

Generally, illegal parking only incurs a fine of 100 yuan without point deduction. However, in some no-parking zones, illegal parking will result in a deduction of 3 points and a fine of 200 yuan. The following are the relevant regulations regarding temporary parking of motor vehicles on the road: 1. Temporary parking on highways: Generally, do not park arbitrarily on highways unless under special circumstances. In case of car breakdown, traffic accidents, fuel exhaustion, or obstacles ahead, parking is allowed in designated areas. 2. Temporary parking at locations other than parking lots: (1) Park on the right side of the road in the direction of traffic. The driver must not leave the vehicle and must drive away quickly if obstructing traffic. (2) Before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, do not open the door or allow passengers to get on or off. When opening the door, do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians.

Must the Clutch Be Fully Depressed to Shift Gears?

Clutch must be fully depressed to shift gears. Otherwise, it will accelerate the wear of the clutch plates. During the gear shifting process, the rotational speeds of the "input shaft" and "output shaft" of the transmission will undergo a "sudden change." Different gears have different speed ratios, and to shift smoothly, the rotational speeds of the transmission's "input shaft" and "output shaft" must be synchronized to engage the gear. The clutch is used to temporarily disconnect the power input to the transmission, aiding in gear shifting. Below is relevant information about the clutch: 1. Clutch Location: The clutch is installed between the engine and the transmission, serving as the assembly in the vehicle's drivetrain that directly connects to the engine. 2. Clutch Function: The clutch's role is to cut off the power between the engine and the transmission, facilitating starting, shifting, and stopping.

How many points are deducted for crossing the line in the right-angle turn during Subject 2?

Crossing the line in the right-angle turn during Subject 2 results in a deduction of 100 points. Below are the relevant details: Deduction criteria for the right-angle turn in Subject 2: If any wheel crosses the road edge line, 100 points are deducted. The original rule stated that squeezing the edge line would deduct 20 points, while crossing the line would deduct 100 points. The new standard has increased the penalty for squeezing the edge line to a 100-point deduction. Stopping midway also results in a 100-point deduction. Reforms in Subject 2 regulations: The deduction criteria for all five test items have been adjusted, and the difficulty has increased. The five test items in Subject 2 include reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, curve driving, stopping and starting on a slope, and right-angle turns. The total score is 100 points, and a score of 80 or above is required to pass.
