The tire specification of the Bora is 205/55R16. Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter represents the rim diameter in inches. For example, 205/55R16 means a tire width of 205 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 55, with 'R' standing for radial tire, and a rim diameter of 16 inches. The larger the aspect ratio number, the thicker the tire sidewall appears from the side; the smaller the aspect ratio number, the thinner the tire appears from the side. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface, working together with the car suspension to mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving.

I've been driving a Bora for several years, and its tire size is usually 205/55 R16, like the one my 2019 model came with. The 205 is the tire width in millimeters, 55 represents the aspect ratio of fifty-five percent, and R16 indicates a sixteen-inch rim diameter. It's quite stable for daily city driving, offers good grip on wet roads, and is relatively fuel-efficient. When replacing, don't randomly change the size; the original specifications match the suspension system, and different sizes may affect the speedometer's accuracy and increase wear. Some higher-end models like the Bora Sport might use 225/45 R17, so check your car's manual or the label on the door frame to avoid wasting money.

I usually drive a Volkswagen Bora to commute, with tire specifications mostly being 205/55 R16. The width is 205 millimeters, the aspect ratio is 55%, and the wheel rim is 16 inches. Checking your own car model is simple: open the door to look at the B-pillar label or flip through the manual. If the size is incorrect, it may accelerate wear, increase stopping distance, and raise safety risks. I regularly check the tire pressure myself, keeping it around the recommended 2.5 bar for better anti-skid performance in rainy conditions. When buying new tires, choose reputable brands and avoid cheap options with wrong sizes, as they can lead to poor handling and strain on the chassis.

New to car buying? Don't worry, the Bora's tire specification like 205/55 R16 is a standard size. The 205 indicates width, 55 represents the aspect ratio, and 16 inches is the wheel diameter. This setup ensures smooth driving, agile handling, and low fuel consumption. To confirm the size, check the door frame or owner's manual—never guess. Getting the wrong specs is no joke; it can affect braking and even damage the suspension. For tire replacement, just visit a reliable shop for proper matching.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Haval H2 in liters?

Haval H2 manual version has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, while the automatic version has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. These data are officially released. The Haval H2 uses 92-octane fuel. The manual version has a fuel consumption of 7.1 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can cover a distance of 704 km. The automatic version has a fuel consumption of 6.4-7.1 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can cover a distance of 775-859 km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard usually has 5 to 6 segments. When there are only 2 segments left on the fuel gauge, it is time to refuel to avoid running out of fuel halfway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safety space. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may be larger than the calibrated fuel tank capacity.

What is the standard tire pressure for BMW run-flat tires?

The standard tire pressure for BMW run-flat tires is between 2.3bar and 2.5bar. The recommended tire pressure can usually be found in the vehicle's user manual, on the label near the driver's door (B-pillar), in the drawer next to the driver's seat, or on the fuel tank cap. The tire pressure should be set according to the manufacturer's recommendation, as it is primarily determined by factors such as the vehicle's weight and chassis height, and is not necessarily related to the brand of tires used. BMW is a German luxury car brand with four main vehicle categories: i, X, Z, and pure numeric models, as well as series such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Taking the BMW X6 as an example, it combines the sporty performance of a coupe with the versatility of an SUV in terms of exterior design and driving dynamics.
