I've been driving the Tiguan L for a while, and it usually comes with 18-inch tires, with sizes like 225/55 R18 being quite common. The original tires might be from brands like Continental or Michelin. Choosing tires depends on personal habits. If you often drive in the city, I recommend opting for quiet tires to reduce noise. If you frequently drive on highways, go for anti-skid tires with strong wet grip. I've also tried switching to all-season tires, which don't slip in the rain and are quite hassle-free. Remember to regularly check the wear and tear, and inspect the tread depth every six months. If it's too shallow, you should replace them immediately, as it affects braking distance and safety. If you've just started driving a new car, don't rush to replace the original tires—they're usually of good quality. Consider upgrading after a few years.

My Tiguan L uses 17 or 18-inch tires, which provide excellent stability. When replacing tires, I opted for a cost-effective brand, and buying online saved me a few hundred yuan compared to physical stores. Choosing tires requires considering both size and driving conditions. If you often drive in rural areas, All-Terrain tires are more durable and resistant to stones, while All-Season tires are more suitable for city driving. After my last tire change, I noticed a slight reduction in fuel consumption and a smoother driving experience. A reminder to everyone: don’t just focus on price; ensure the tires meet the original factory specifications to avoid affecting the suspension system. Check the tire pressure every season, maintaining around 2.5 bar, to extend tire lifespan.

Safety comes first when changing tires. The original tires for the Tiguan L are typically 17 or 18 inches, with common specifications like 215/65 R17. I recommend using high-quality tires that are wear-resistant and anti-skid, providing more peace of mind when driving on highways during rain or snow. Regular maintenance is crucial, as both overinflated and underinflated tires can accelerate wear—check them monthly. Consider seasonal factors; winter tires are best for snow conditions due to their superior anti-skid performance. If you notice unusual noises or vibrations, promptly inspect the tire tread and balance.

Can I install the ETC device by myself?

ETC devices can be installed by yourself as long as you follow the correct installation steps. Generally, ETC can be installed in an open area on the front windshield, as long as it does not obstruct the driver's view. The optimal installation position is at the upper part of the front windshield, behind the rearview mirror, preferably around the black dot area. Installing it in the black dot area is mainly to prevent insufficient sunlight in winter, which may lead to low battery levels, as the black dot area can block some sunlight. ETC is an Electronic Toll Collection system used for automatic toll collection on highways or bridges. It works through dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. By utilizing computer networking technology and bank backend settlement processing, it enables vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the tolls.

How to Deal with Water Leakage in Car Sunroof?

The solutions for sunroof leakage include replacing or adjusting the sealing rubber strip, sealing the welding points, unclogging the drainage pipe, or adjusting the drainage pipe joints. Below are detailed explanations regarding sunroof leakage: 1. Classification: Sunroof leakage generally falls into two scenarios. The first is when small sand particles and dust seep into the sunroof drainage channel, causing blockage. The second is when the sunroof sealing rubber strip becomes misaligned. 2. Solution for the first scenario: For cases where small sand particles and dust block the sunroof drainage channel, it is essential to clean the sunroof regularly and maintain a clean environment around the drainage channel. High-pressure air blasting equipment can be used to direct air into the drainage pipe to remove dirt inside. 3. Solution for the second scenario: If the sunroof sealing strip becomes misaligned, it indicates excessive friction between the rubber strip and the car roof. A small amount of plastic protective agent or talcum powder can be sprayed on the sealing strip to reduce unnecessary friction while maintaining the strip's sealing performance.

Should You Engage the Handbrake After Parking an Automatic Transmission Car?

It is advisable to engage the handbrake for automatic transmission cars. Below is relevant information about automatic transmissions: 1. Transmission Types: There are primarily two types of automatic transmissions used in vehicles. One is the stepped automatic transmission, and the other is the continuously variable transmission (CVT). The most commonly used in passenger cars is the mechanical CVT, which utilizes a V-shaped metal belt or chain to transmit torque between the driving and driven pulleys in their V-shaped grooves. This transmission method is typically used in smaller vehicles. 2. Operational Characteristics: In modern automatic transmission cars, the driver only needs to control the accelerator pedal. The computer analyzes signals from sensors that detect the engine throttle opening and vehicle speed, automatically controlling gear shifts or engaging different gears. Generally, automatic transmissions result in some power loss from the engine. The greatest advantage of automatic transmission vehicles is convenience, especially in traffic jams or when encountering uphill slopes during congestion, where their benefits become even more apparent. Nowadays, automatic transmission cars are becoming increasingly popular. From the perspective of advanced automotive development countries, most vehicles are transitioning to fully automatic transmissions. The replacement of manual transmissions by automatic transmissions as the primary model for daily driving is a trend in automotive development.
