The Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV tires are more suitable for Highlander replacement. Tires are circular elastic rubber products installed on metal rims, designed to roll on the ground for various vehicles or machinery. They support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain the vehicle's driving performance. The Highlander's body dimensions are: length 4890mm, width 1925mm, height 1720mm, with a wheelbase of 2790mm. The Highlander is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 162kW and a maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

I've been driving a Highlander for six years and have replaced the tires twice. I highly recommend the Michelin Primacy SUV and Continental UC6 SUV. Both are comfortable and quiet, with particularly low tire noise on highways, making them very suitable for family cars like the Highlander. If you frequently drive on rough roads, the Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV is more durable, with thick sidewalls that resist punctures. For cost-effectiveness, the Hankook Dynapro HP2 is also a good choice, being 30% cheaper but still quite wear-resistant. When choosing tires, pay attention to the TREADWEAR index on the sidewall; the higher the number, the more durable the tire. For example, Michelin tires usually have a TREADWEAR of 440, lasting about 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Don't skimp on cheap, unknown brands—my neighbor once bought an off-brand tire and nearly rear-ended someone due to slipping in the rain.

Just replaced my Highlander's tires with Pirelli Scorpion Verde - extremely satisfied with its wet grip performance. Used to feel unstable when cornering in rain, now it handles solidly. Tires like Bridgestone Alenza 001 are also worth considering, their dual-sidewall design works particularly well for heavy vehicles like Highlander. Recommend prioritizing all-season tires with M+S (Mud+Snow) certification for unexpected rain/snow situations. Remind technicians to perform wheel balancing during installation - unbalanced front wheels may cause steering wheel vibration at 50mph. Last time I replaced the valve stems simultaneously since aged rubber causes slow air leaks.

Tire replacement depends on your driving habits. If you mainly commute in the city, Dunlop PT3 is sufficient, with moderate softness that doesn't bump over speed bumps. For frequent highway driving, choose Michelin PS4 SUV, which offers strong grip and fuel efficiency, saving 0.3 liters per 100 km in real tests. If you prioritize quietness, go for Continental UC6 without hesitation, as its tread features noise-canceling chamber design. When changing tires, I check the production date; the last four digits after DOT on the tire sidewall, like 1523, indicate the 15th week of 2023. Tires stored for over two years may have hardened rubber. Keep tire pressure within the manufacturer's recommended 2.5bar to avoid blowouts in summer.

What does car bar mean?

Car bar refers to the unit of pressure, megapascal (MPa), which is atmospheric pressure, commonly abbreviated as air pressure. Air pressure is crucial for tires, as both excessively high and low levels can shorten the tire's lifespan. More detailed information is as follows: 1. Insufficient air pressure increases tire body deformation, leading to cracks on the tire sidewalls and causing flexing movements. This results in excessive heat generation, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord ply, and breakage of the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, hastening wear on the tire shoulders. 2. Excessive air pressure causes overextension and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity. This increases the load on the car while driving, potentially leading to internal cracks and blowouts upon impact. Additionally, high air pressure accelerates wear on the tire crown and reduces its resistance to rolling. 3. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements, the appropriate car tire pressure is: (1) Standard tire pressure: 2.4-2.5 bar. (2) Reinforced tire pressure: 2.8-2.9 bar. (3) Maximum tire pressure: Should not exceed 3.5 bar.

How to Use Cruise Control on the Edge?

Here are the steps to operate cruise control on the Edge: 1. Press the CNCL/Off button, then press the accelerator until reaching your desired speed. 2. Press the Res button to activate cruise control. For gradual acceleration, tap the RES button. 3. For rapid acceleration, press the + button. For gradual deceleration, press the SET button. For rapid deceleration, press the - button. To cancel cruise control, press the CNCL/OFF button twice. Precautions for using cruise control: 1. Avoid using on winding mountain roads or curves. During normal curve navigation, appropriate throttle application is required to provide greater steering force. In cruise control mode, the vehicle automatically maintains a constant speed with throttle controlled by the onboard computer, which can pose risks during curve driving. 2. Avoid using in densely populated areas or heavy traffic. Using cruise control on urban roads with dense pedestrian and vehicle traffic prevents timely speed adjustments based on actual road conditions, increasing accident risks. Similarly, avoid cruise control on highways with heavy traffic or accident-prone sections. 3. Avoid using during rain or snow. Wet or icy road surfaces reduce vehicle controllability and visibility. Drivers should maintain constant speed control for safety, making cruise control unsuitable in such conditions.

What is the difference between double-wishbone and double-lateral-arm suspension?

The differences between double-wishbone and double-lateral-arm suspension are as follows: 1. Different in nature (1) Double-lateral-arm suspension: Lateral-arm suspension refers to an independent suspension where the wheels swing in the lateral plane of the vehicle. Double-lateral-arm suspension refers to a suspension system with two lateral arms. Double-lateral-arm suspension can be further divided into equal-length and unequal-length types. (2) Double-wishbone independent suspension: Also known as double-A-arm independent suspension, it features upper and lower A-shaped wishbones that precisely position various parameters of the front wheels. When turning, both wishbones absorb the lateral forces on the tires, while the strut only supports the vehicle's weight. 2. Different characteristics (1) Double-lateral-arm suspension: The advantage is that the shock absorbers in double-lateral-arm independent suspension bear no lateral load, and the upper end height is relatively low, which helps reduce the front height and improve the vehicle's styling. The disadvantage is its complex structure and larger space occupation. (2) Double-wishbone independent suspension: The advantages include high lateral stiffness, excellent anti-roll performance, strong grip, and clear road feedback. The downside is the complexity in setting suspension alignment parameters. 3. Different applicability (1) Double-lateral-arm suspension: For unequal-length double-lateral-arm suspension, by appropriately selecting and optimizing the lengths of the upper and lower arms and through reasonable arrangement, changes in wheel track and front-wheel alignment parameters can be kept within acceptable limits, ensuring good driving stability. (2) Double-wishbone independent suspension: Due to its complex structure, large space occupation, and higher cost, double-wishbone independent suspension is not suitable for the front suspension of small vehicles.
