The reasons why the car steering wheel is not in the center are as follows: 1. Better interior space: If the steering wheel were designed in the center, it would be difficult to place seats on either side of the driver's seat, significantly reducing the passenger space inside the car, let alone having a front passenger seat. 2. Enhanced driving safety: Tricycles place the steering wheel in the center because of their good visibility, but if a car were to place the steering wheel in the center, the A-pillar would block the driver's view, affecting oncoming traffic or navigating narrow sections. 3. Easier overtaking: It is well known that cars today are either left-hand drive or right-hand drive. Countries that drive on the left have right-hand drive cars, while countries that drive on the right have left-hand drive cars. Like in our country, left-hand drive cars are safer.

Is there any impact if the original V-rated tires are replaced with H-rated ones?

Replacing the original V-rated tires with H-rated ones has no impact. The difference between V and H-rated tires mainly lies in their maximum speed under load conditions. V-rated tires can handle speeds up to 240 km/h, while H-rated tires are designed for up to 210 km/h. The higher speed rating of V-rated tires indicates stronger performance. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also provide excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability.

What is the idle speed reset method for a 2005 Accord?

Turn the idle adjustment bolt tight, then loosen it by 1.5-2.0 turns. Slowly loosen the throttle bolt to reduce the engine speed to a very low level, almost stalling. Ensure the engine speed reaches the required range (800-1000 RPM). Press the accelerator and release it to check if the engine stalls. If it doesn't stall, it means the idle speed has been properly adjusted.
