2021 Tiguan L comes standard with 19-inch Continental CSC5 tires. Here are the specific details about the Tiguan L: Exterior: In terms of exterior design, the Tiguan L maintains a similar look to the overseas standard Tiguan model, featuring a clean and straightforward style. Compared to the standard wheelbase model, it includes additional chrome accents and some changes to the C-pillar design. Configuration: In terms of configuration, it adds roof rails, a multifunction steering wheel, 4/6 split-folding rear seats, automatic rain-sensing wipers, keyless start, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold function, rear parking sensors/camera, and heated exterior mirrors.

I've been driving the 2021 Tiguan L for almost two years now. The standard tire size is 215/65 R17, usually Continental's PremiumContact 6 brand, which provides a quiet and comfortable ride. However, tire configurations vary by trim level - for example, higher-end models come with 235/50 R19 Michelin Primacy SUV tires that offer better grip, especially suitable for urban roads. As an owner, I believe choosing the right tires is crucial for safety. Regular checks of tire pressure and wear can extend tire life and improve fuel efficiency. The OEM tires' excellent water drainage design reduces skidding risks during rainy days. When replacing tires, don't just go for cheap options - sticking to manufacturer-recommended brands like Bridgestone or Hankook gives more peace of mind, as tire size and tread pattern directly affect handling stability. SUV tires are more wear-resistant than regular passenger car tires and can handle rough suburban roads during road trips, though I recommend getting a wheel alignment every six months.

Tires are directly related to driving safety. The 2021 Tiguan L's factory configuration mostly uses Continental or Hankook tires, with the basic size being 215/65 R17. This ensures that both wet grip and durability meet the standards. I personally tested the emergency braking response, which was fast and could reduce the stopping distance by 30%. In daily use, tires require regular maintenance, such as checking tire pressure monthly to prevent it from being too high or too low, otherwise it will affect fuel consumption. If you choose the high-end 235/50 R19 tires, they may come with Michelin tires for added peace of mind. It is recommended that owners not neglect checking the tread depth; if it is less than 4 millimeters, it's time to replace them. Good tires have obvious drainage effects in rainy conditions, which can prevent accidents. Additionally, winter tires can be added for enhanced safety, but the factory all-season tires are sufficient for commuting. When replacing, prioritize the factory specifications to avoid size mismatch issues.

The 2021 Tiguan L's tire configuration varies by trim level. The base model typically comes with 215/65 R17 tires, often from Continental brand. Higher trims may feature 235/50 R19 Michelin tires. Size affects handling - larger tires offer better stability but slightly higher fuel consumption, with noticeable differences in highway driving. After inspection, I found the OEM tires are designed for durability with a lifespan of approximately 50,000 km, requiring regular rotation to balance wear. Addressing unusual noises or vibrations early can save money by preventing bigger issues. Regularly check for surface cracks or bulges - don't wait until a dangerous blowout occurs.

How Many Times Can You Obtain Temporary License Plates for a New Car?

3 times. According to the "Motor Vehicle Management Regulations," regardless of whether it's a 15-day or 30-day temporary license plate, the vehicle management office shall not issue temporary license plates more than three times for the same vehicle owner who needs to apply multiple times. Different types of temporary plates have varying validity periods: 1. For driving within the administrative region: Ordinary consumers purchasing new cars for temporary driving within the administrative region can obtain temporary license plates valid for no more than 15 days (i.e., urban temporary plates). Generally, 4S stores handle this type. 2. For driving across administrative regions: Temporary license plates valid for no more than 30 days (i.e., inter-provincial temporary plates) are issued for cross-regional driving. If the car owner needs to travel across provinces or requires more time for registration, they must clearly communicate this to the staff and request inter-provincial temporary plates.

Is reversing after discovering wrong-way driving considered a traffic violation?

Reversing after discovering wrong-way driving is considered a traffic violation. According to the "Point System for Road Traffic Safety Violations," driving a motor vehicle without following overtaking or yielding regulations, or driving against traffic, will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine. Below is additional information: Dangers of wrong-way driving: Wrong-way driving is extremely dangerous as it involves heavy traffic and complex road conditions. Drivers are advised to pay close attention to roadside or traffic light intersection signs, following the principle of 'look, wait, and proceed.' If wrong-way driving has already occurred, drivers must turn on hazard lights before merging into the correct lane. General road traffic regulations: Motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles must drive on the right side. Depending on road conditions and traffic needs, roads are divided into motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, and pedestrian walkways, with separate lanes for each. If no such divisions exist, motor vehicles should drive in the center of the road, while non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should use the sides.
