275/80r22.5 is equivalent to a tire with a diameter of 22.5 inches. 275/80r22.5 is the tire marking, with each parameter representing different meanings. Here, 275 refers to the tire width (mm), which is the section width; 80 refers to the aspect ratio, which is the percentage of the sidewall height to the tire width; 'r' stands for radial tire; and 22.5 represents the diameter of the wheel rim. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: 1. Reduced driving experience: When the tire pressure is too high, you will noticeably feel more bumps during driving, significantly reducing comfort and diminishing the driving experience. 2. Shortened tire lifespan: The tire may bulge slightly, causing the center tread to wear out faster while the side treads wear more slowly, leading to abnormal wear patterns and reducing the tire's lifespan. Additionally, driving at high speeds or in high-temperature environments increases the risk of tire blowouts.

I recently replaced this type of large truck tires for our company fleet, let me explain. The 275/80R22.5 specification is mainly used for trailers or construction vehicles. 275 refers to the tire width of 275 millimeters, 80 is the aspect ratio, calculating to a sidewall height of about 220 millimeters. R stands for radial construction, and 22.5 indicates the rim diameter. The overall tire diameter is approximately 40 inches, calculated by adding the rim diameter (22.5 inches) to the sidewall height on both sides (220mm ≈ 8.66 inches × 2), then converting the units. Tires of this size have a large contact area and exceptional load-bearing capacity. My long-haul driver colleagues say these tires are extremely durable on construction sites. If you're considering switching to tires of the same size, remember to check the tire pressure range – heavy-duty tires require much higher pressure than regular vehicles.

Do Hybrid Vehicles Count as New Energy Vehicles?

Hybrid vehicles are considered new energy vehicles. Here is the extended content: Introduction to Hybrid Vehicles: They include hybrid electric vehicles, pure electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, as well as gas vehicles and alcohol ether vehicles. Hybrid electric vehicles combine fuel (gasoline, diesel) and electric energy, utilizing an electric motor as an auxiliary power source to drive the vehicle, representing a technology of complementary advantages. The primary power source of hybrid electric vehicles is the engine, supplemented by a secondary power source—the battery. The combination of these two sources enhances energy efficiency, and the electric motor assisting the engine can generate powerful and smooth driving force during normal operation. Advantages of Hybrid Vehicles: Hybrid vehicles offer high fuel efficiency and superior driving performance. Since they use fuel for the engine and benefit from the assistance of an electric motor during startup and acceleration, they consume less fuel. Simply put, compared to vehicles of the same size, hybrid vehicles incur lower fuel costs.

Which Cars Have Run-Flat Tires?

Cars equipped with run-flat tires include: BMW, Volvo S60, Ford S-MAX, Volkswagen R36, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and similar models. Run-flat tires are technically known as "Tire Pressure Monitoring System" tires, abbreviated as RSC. The inflated tire sidewall is the main part that supports the vehicle's weight, especially for tires with a larger aspect ratio, where the sidewall is very thick. In the event of a severe tire blowout, the sidewall can instantly collapse, causing the tire to lose support immediately and resulting in an abrupt change in the vehicle's center of gravity. This is particularly dangerous for front-wheel-drive vehicles if the front tire blows out, as the sudden shift in the center of gravity can easily lead to loss of control. The run-flat tire consists of an outer tire, a standard inner tube, a spare inner tube, a steel rim, a gas generator, a pressure sensor, and a control unit.

How to Determine the Position of Left and Right Wheels?

Methods to determine the position of left and right wheels: 1. When the vehicle is driving normally in its lane, if the ground centerline overlaps with the left wiper nozzle on the hood, the left wheel will be on the centerline; 2. When the vehicle is driving normally in its lane, if the ground centerline overlaps with the right wiper nozzle on the hood, the right wheel will be on the centerline. Methods to judge the distance to the car in front: 1. When the driver sees the upper edge of the front car's bumper from the lower edge of the windshield, it indicates that the distance to the front car is only one meter, and the driver needs to control the distance; 2. When the driver sees the lower edge of the front car's bumper from the lower edge of the windshield, it indicates that the distance to the front car is two meters; 3. When the driver sees the lower edge of the front car's rear tire from the lower edge of the windshield, it indicates that the distance to the front car is approximately three meters.

What kind of license is required for large-displacement motorcycles?

Large-displacement motorcycles require either an E-class or D-class license in China. There are three types of motorcycle licenses in China: F, E, and D. An F-class license only permits riding light motorcycles with engine displacements below 50CC; an E-class license allows riding any two-wheeled motorcycle regardless of displacement; and a D-class license permits riding all two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles. Therefore, with an E-class license, you can ride any two-wheeled motorcycle, as there is no separate license specifically for large-displacement motorcycles. Sports motorcycles, also known as sports bikes, are primarily designed for leisure and holiday use, serving as an entertaining means of transportation and a recreational tool for experiencing the joys of life.

Can You Continue Driving with a Leaking Rear Axle?

You should not continue driving with a leaking rear axle, as it poses certain hazards. This typically involves hydraulic oil leakage, and you should take the vehicle to a repair shop immediately for servicing. The replacement cycle for rear axle oil is approximately 20,000-30,000 kilometers. Generally, a transfer case is also installed in front of the rear axle. The working principle of the rear axle: the engine transmits power to the transmission, which then adjusts and sends it to the large gear plate on the rear axle. The differential is an integrated unit, consisting of small gear plates on both sides, a cross-shaped shaft in the middle, and planetary gears on top. The differential is vertically mounted, with two circular holes on each side and sliding keys on top. During straight-line driving, the cross-shaped shaft remains stationary, while during turns, it moves to adjust the rotational speed of the wheels on both sides, enhancing the vehicle's handling during cornering. The rear axle refers to the rear drive shaft component of the vehicle's power transmission system. It consists of two half-axles, enabling differential movement. It also serves as the device supporting the wheels and connecting the rear wheels. In front-wheel-drive vehicles, the rear axle functions merely as a trailing axle, providing load-bearing support. Rear axles are categorized into solid axles and semi-axles. Solid axles are paired with non-independent suspensions, such as leaf spring suspensions, while semi-axles are paired with independent suspensions, such as MacPherson suspensions. In four-wheel-drive vehicles, a transfer case is typically installed in front of the rear axle.

How to Drain Gasoline from a Sedan?

To drain gasoline from a sedan, follow these steps: 1. Drive the vehicle onto a steep slope, then turn off the engine and engage the handbrake. This is because the car's fuel tank has a U-shaped bottom, making it difficult to drain fuel on flat ground. 2. Open the fuel tank and insert a plastic hose. 3. Place the other end of the plastic hose in your mouth and suck hard, being careful not to get gasoline in your mouth. 4. Once you see the gasoline flowing, place the end of the hose into a container and let it drain naturally. Gasoline is refined from various petroleum-derived components such as straight-run gasoline, catalytic cracking gasoline, and catalytic reforming gasoline, blended with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.
