The tires are Pirelli's high-performance PZERO series, with the front tire size being 225/40R18 and the rear tire size being 245/35R18. Tire specification introduction: Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter one represents the rim diameter in inches. For example, a tire marked 19560R14 indicates a width of 195mm, an aspect ratio of 60, and a diameter of 14 inches. Tire classification: Tires are classified by usage, including categories such as truck tires, passenger car tires, and mining tires. In addition to the specification dimensions marked on the sidewall, truck tires must also indicate the ply rating. However, it is important to note that the ply rating of truck tires does not refer to the actual number of layers, but rather to the load-bearing performance equivalent to that of a tire body made with cotton cord layers when constructed with high-strength material cords.

What does 4WD mean on a car?

4WD stands for "four-wheel drive," which means all four wheels have driving force. Four-wheel drive is mainly used in hardcore off-road vehicles and is now also applied to urban SUVs. Many mid-to-high-end sedans and luxury sports cars also adopt four-wheel drive. 4WD includes three forms: full-time four-wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive, and on-demand four-wheel drive. Part-time four-wheel drive: This is the most common type of four-wheel-drive system. Part-time four-wheel drive does not have a central differential. During turns, the speed difference between the front and rear drive shafts can only be offset by one tire slipping. Vehicles equipped with part-time four-wheel drive cannot be driven on roads with good traction. When the road surface has good traction, it is difficult for the car to slip while driving. Therefore, part-time four-wheel drive cannot be used on roads with good traction. Representative model: Jeep Wrangler. Technical features: High reliability, manual operation required for mode switching, relatively slow response speed, and cannot be used on paved roads. Full-time four-wheel drive: This means all four wheels are always driving wheels, whether driving straight or turning. Full-time four-wheel drive adds a central differential to the part-time four-wheel-drive system, allowing the speed difference between the front and rear drive shafts to be smoothly resolved. Additionally, it generally allows adjustment of the driving force distribution ratio between the front and rear wheels based on driving conditions. Representative model: Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Technical features: Fast response speed and strong off-road capability. On-demand four-wheel drive: This refers to a drive system that automatically switches to two-wheel drive when four-wheel drive is not needed and to four-wheel drive when it is required. The main difference between on-demand four-wheel drive and part-time four-wheel drive is that the switching is done automatically by the system without manual control. Since on-demand four-wheel drive typically operates in two-wheel drive mode, the non-driving wheels only engage when the driving wheels slip, requiring a reaction time. The length of this reaction time reflects the actual off-road capability of the four-wheel-drive system. Representative model: BMW X5. Technical features: More intelligent mode switching compared to part-time four-wheel drive.

How to Repair a Flooded Car?

Need to disassemble and remove seats and carpets for cleaning and air-drying. Check the oil, water, and fluids in regular maintenance items. Notify the insurance company to conduct an on-site inspection.

How to Tune a Car Audio System?

After installing the car audio system, carefully inspect the entire system before proceeding with tuning. Set both the head unit and amplifier gains to their minimum levels, and adjust the crossover points and phase of the electronic crossover to their designed positions. Using a high-pass filter for the front soundstage and a full-range or eliminating frequencies above 3kHz and below 70Hz for the rear soundstage can effectively control the directional sense of the sound field.

How to Replace the Water Pump on an Audi A6L?

First, remove the throttle body, the wiring harness connectors and brackets near the charcoal canister solenoid valve to gain clear access. Then, remove the water pump belt cover followed by the mounting screws. When extracting the pump, note there is a relatively short connecting pipe at the junction between the water pump and radiator – be careful not to lose it, as it has no specific orientation. It's advisable to remove the coolant reservoir, otherwise the thin return hose may break easily. During installation, ensure the belt is properly seated in the groove, as there is no fixed installation position.
