The tire specification of the JAC Refine S3 is 205/55R16. Tires are one of the important components of a car, as they are in direct contact with the road surface and work together with the car's suspension to mitigate the shocks encountered during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. The JAC Refine S3 is a compact SUV equipped with a 1.5L L4 engine, naturally aspirated, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116ps and a maximum torque of 150nm. The dimensions of this car are 4345mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1640mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2560mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seater SUV with a 6-speed manual transmission.

When I first drove the JAC Refine S3, the tire size was 205/55 R16, which felt quite suitable. It was stable on the highway and had low noise. However, after running 30,000 kilometers, the tread wore out, and I had to replace the tires. I chose the same original factory size to ensure compatibility and fuel efficiency. By the way, tire pressure is crucial—I maintain it at around 230 kPa when cold, as too high or too low affects handling and safety. Every six months, I personally check the wear using a coin to see if the depth exceeds the 1.6 mm critical line. I didn’t switch to winter tires, but I’d remind you that slowing down on slippery roads is more practical than changing tires. With proper maintenance, tires can last 4-5 years without issues. Recently, I heard the new S3 might have slightly adjusted tire sizes—checking the manual is more reliable.

Having worked in car repairs for over a decade, I can tell you that the original tires on the Jianghuai Refine S3 are 205/55 R16, a very common size. I always emphasize to customers that tire pressure should be set at 230kPa and the tread depth should be at least 3mm for safety. Don't underestimate the importance of the right size—mismatched tires can cause instability or increased fuel consumption. During inspections, always check the outer wear marks first; if uneven, a wheel alignment is needed. I recommend checking tire pressure every 5,000 kilometers using a simple gauge. With proper maintenance, these tires can easily last 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers. Occasionally, some want to upgrade to larger sizes, but I advise against it—limited wheel arch space can lead to rubbing. In short, the factory setup balances economy and stability, and choosing durable brands like Michelin when replacing tires makes life easier.

Last month I considered buying a used JAC Refine S3 and found its tire specification was 205/55 R16. When inspecting the car, I focused on checking for tire cracks or uneven wear, as shallow treads can lead to poor braking in rainy weather. The seller told me the tires had been replaced, which was reassuring. This size is easy to find, and replacement at auto shops is affordable anytime. Don't skip checking the tire pressure gauge to ensure it's within the normal range. By the way, if used car tires have over 50,000 km, you can use this to negotiate a few hundred bucks off. The key is ensuring proper fitment to avoid future risks. A quick inspection can save major headaches.

The tire specification 205/55 R16 is crucial for safety. My JAC Refine S3 has been used for five years, and the tire pressure is strictly set at 230 kPa as per the manual—too high risks bursting, too low makes the car unstable when turning. I visually check the tire pressure weekly before heading out. Once, I forgot to check before a long trip and got a scare when the tire went flat over a speed bump. The fixed size must be well-matched; never modify it to be smaller or larger as it affects braking distance. I considered switching to all-season tires during seasonal changes, but the original tires are hassle-free and balanced. Remember, small oversights can lead to big disasters—maintenance is key. Replace tires immediately when the tread wears thin; safety comes first. Always have the mechanic check the tire pressure during maintenance—it’s a no-brainer.

Can I Take Subject Four After Passing Subject One?

After passing Subject One of the driver's license test, you cannot directly take Subject Four. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the examination sequence proceeds as Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three in order. Only after passing the previous subject can you proceed to the next. After passing the road driving skills test of Subject Three, you are eligible to take the safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three, with Subject Three divided into two parts. Subject Four is the colloquial term for the safe and civilized driving knowledge test under Subject Three and is not a separate subject. Subject One refers to the test on road traffic laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test; Subject Three refers to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three. Each subject test can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test. However, Subject Two and Subject Three tests must be rescheduled at least ten days later. If you fail the safe and civilized driving knowledge test of Subject Three, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of rescheduled tests for Subject Two and Subject Three road driving skills tests must not exceed five. If you fail the fifth rescheduled test, the passed results of other subjects become invalid. Subject Four Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 30 minutes, and if you make 12 mistakes (6 questions) during the test, the session ends immediately. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of driver's license, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject Four question bank. For car licenses, questions are selected from 800, and for large vehicle licenses, from 1023. Each question is worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test also includes animation questions, image questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retest Notes: If you fail Subject Four, you only need to retake Subject Four. The driving school will schedule the retest, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. You can retake it until you pass, and no retest fee is required for Subject Four. Subject Four Test Tips: Strengthen weak areas and identify the reasons for mistakes. For marked questions, do not just memorize the correct answer. Refer to laws, textbooks, or reference books to understand the reasons behind the mistakes and internalize them. Categorize and summarize questions. Refer to the question bank analysis to group similar questions. Many questions in the bank are similar and easily confused, so they should be analyzed together. For example, traffic signs like "Pedestrian," "Walking," "Pedestrian Crossing," and "Caution: Pedestrian Crossing" have similar patterns and can be confusing. Grouping them during study helps avoid mistakes. Find memory techniques: Many questions in the bank involve numbers. Summarizing these numbers makes them easier to remember.

How to Distinguish Between Good and Bad Car Window Tinting?

Methods to distinguish between good and bad car window tinting are: 1. From the clarity perspective, regardless of the darkness of the tint, a good film should allow clear visibility of objects beyond 6 meters at night, while a bad film will have a foggy appearance; 2. From the touch perspective, a good film feels thick and smooth, whereas a bad film feels thin and brittle, prone to wrinkling; 3. From the color perspective, the pigment in a good film is evenly integrated into the film and will not fade when scraped during the application process, while the color in a bad film is in the adhesive layer, and the color will come off when scratched with a fingernail after peeling off the film's inner lining. Car window tinting involves applying a thin film-like object to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof of a vehicle, and this film is also known as a solar film or heat-insulating film.

What does the P gear in an automatic transmission stand for?

Automatic transmission P gear is the abbreviation for parking gear, which utilizes the vehicle's parking brake mechanism to halt rotation. Typically, an automatic transmission has six gear positions: P gear is the parking gear, R gear is the reverse gear, N gear is the neutral gear, D gear is the drive gear, S gear is the climbing gear, and L gear is the low-speed gear. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for manual gear shifting by the driver, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a critical factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume over 10% more fuel than manual transmissions.
