BMW 5 Series adopts Hankook tires in the size of 245/45R18, while some imported models are equipped with 245/40R19 as front tires and 275/35R19 as rear tires. Specific details are as follows: Hankook Tires: Hankook's ultra-high-performance tires stand out for their excellent ride comfort, low rolling resistance, and good handling, which is partly attributed to the use of new steel wire materials that significantly reduce tire weight while enhancing strength. Ventus: Through new vulcanization, effective cross-linking of rubber polymers is achieved, combined with newly developed styrene polymers, ensuring outstanding grip and traction even under wet conditions and extremely low rolling resistance, guaranteeing timely braking.

Should a New Car Be Filled Up with Fuel?

Yes. Except for the first time, it is not necessary to fill up the fuel tank completely for a new car. Here are some relevant introductions about car refueling: 1. The reason for filling up the first time: The first refueling must be done until the "nozzle jumps". Once the nozzle "jumps", do not add more fuel. This is to check whether the fuel gauge of the new car is accurate. 2. The reason why it is not necessary to fill up the fuel tank completely except for the first time: If the fuel tank is too full, there will be no space at the top of the fuel tank, especially in summer. The gasoline vapor will have nowhere to go, causing fuel choking; the vent of the fuel tank will be buried in the gasoline, forcing the liquid gasoline to enter the carbon canister, causing damage to the carbon canister.

Does Leaving a Car Outside in the Rain Have Any Impact?

Leaving a car outside in the rain does have an impact. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Specific impacts: The car's paint surface can be corroded. In many parts of the country, pollution is widespread, and some areas suffer from severe pollution, making the rain essentially acid rain. Therefore, exposing the car to rain is like leaving the paint bare to acid rain, which can corrode the paint, leading to water marks, oxidation, and even cracking. 2. Precautions: Rainwater often contains acidic substances that can corrode the outer glossy layer of the paint. Additionally, rainwater carries microscopic dust particles that, when exposed to sunlight, can generate a large amount of oxides. Hence, it is advisable to perform a paint treatment on your car after rain. A simple and effective method is waxing.

Do Brake Discs Need to Be Replaced Frequently?

Brake discs generally need to be replaced when the vehicle has traveled 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Here are the criteria for determining when to replace brake discs: 1. Observe the brake disc warning light: Normally, the brake disc indicator light is off. When there is a fault or excessive wear in the brake disc, the light turns on and goes off after repair. When the warning light is on, the brake disc has worn to its limit, braking performance has decreased, significantly affecting driving safety. Therefore, car owners should regularly check the wear condition of the brake discs to see if they are still usable, rather than relying solely on the warning light. 2. Check the thickness of the brake disc: Most brake disc products have wear indicators, which are three small pits distributed on the disc surface. Using a vernier caliper, the depth of these small pits is measured to be 1.5mm. This means that when the total wear depth on both sides of the brake disc reaches 3mm, the car owner should promptly replace the brake disc.
