The 120,000-kilometer tire change of commuter cars

1. Current situation of tires:

The tire was changed for the first time in 4 years, 120,000 kilometers. Yes, you heard right. The original tire has traveled 120,000 kilometers (has anyone passed me). There are no cracks on the side of the tire, and the tread is relatively broken. I estimate that I can run another 20,000 kilometers before changing, but I am afraid that I won’t be able to run next year’s Double 11, so let’s get new tires on Double 11 this year.

2. Tire selection process:

The original tire specification is 195-60-R16 Yokohama brand E70. This specification is used for Taishi models. Therefore, I found that the 195-65-R16, 205-65-R16, 205-60-R16, and 205-55-R16 on the market are all cheaper than the original tire specifications, so I would just upgrade it to a specification (the tire width and stability have a braking effect), and the 205-60-R16 is preferred. At the end of October, I saw in ZDM that the Jiatong 228 Model 205-55-R16 had started activities in advance on November 1. It was installed in a package at 189 yuan (the official website found the market guidance price of 439 yuan). Are you kidding me? You can buy a 205-wide tire for less than 200 yuan, but I don’t think you can buy it even with miscellaneous brands. My interest has suddenly been raised. What about the Ma Raiders Jiatong 228? Through this article: Five 205/55R16 models in “Tire Test 1”, I feel that the 228 is not bad. The advantages are relatively quiet and comfortable, which is suitable for my gentle driving habits. I can also accept the disadvantages. At the same time, I found that the unit car also uses 228V1 for BYD yuan, which feels good in actual use. Only a flat ratio of 55 (the original car is 60), so the speedometer will be a little inaccurate. However, the original factory specifications will be fine in the annual review in Shenzhen, which will affect the transfer of property. Although it is said that Jiatong tires are easier to bulge, they finally failed to resist the temptation of cost-effectiveness and finished the car.

3. Summary:

After running 500 kilometers a week, it really didn’t hurt. It turned out that the old tires were so noisy and hard. Maybe the rubber has aged and hardened over the years and feels bad. This new tire feels a little harder when the temperature is low in the morning, but it feels good when driving during shift hours.

Advantages: It’s much quieter. The brakes are stable when driving with 205 wide tires, and the feeling is very improved. It’s so cheap. The total price for 4 tires is only 756 yuan.

Disadvantages: Poor power acceleration, turning into a meat house, and it is estimated that fuel consumption will also increase (current test statistics).

So how important is a pair of good shoes to your running? It costs only 189 yuan for 205 babies, so why do you need a bicycle?

Continue to toss in one step: replace antifreeze brake pads

1. Please ask everyone about changing antifreeze for multiple kilometers, because I read the maintenance manual and wrote that it was the first time to change it for 160,000 kilometers in 8 years (as shown in the picture). I have still changed it until now. If you are missing, you will add the same antifreeze as the original manufacturer (not mixed). But the 4s master and the outside master said it was impossible, so I would like to ask you here.

2. The brake pads have not been replaced. This time, the tire change also targeted the brake pads. As shown in the picture, everyone said they can run tens of thousands of kilometers?
Sorrow: Xuanyi is just a scooter, buying a vegetable cart. I want it to make the best use of it, maintain it according to a feasible plan to save, and ensure safety and save as much as possible. To match the location of this car. Although the quality of BYD driving is better than that of me, it’s not me. I just want to be comfortable and continue to mess with me. I look forward to sharing it with you again. Thank you!
