I am the owner of Weilang 2017 15s automatic leading car. The car has been used for two and a half years and traveled 48000 + km. It may be that the tyre protection is in place, or it may be that the original car’s Goodrich second-generation tire is really leather, and the spare tire has not landed for two and a half years.
The story of the first replacement of the spare tire took place last weekend. When I went back to my hometown and had some land to wash the car, then I checked the tire and cleaned the stones in the groove of the tire pattern. I found that there was a nail in the right rear tire. From the nail cap at that time, the nail should not be big, and the tire did not leak, so I thought the tire should be all right. So on impulse, I pulled out the nail with a screwdriver, and as soon as I pulled it out, there was an accident, and there was an unstoppable sound of air leakage. I knew it was over. There was no shop in the village to repair the tire, so I had to change the spare tire.
Because the spare tire has not been replaced, I am still a little timid, and the lift point of the Jack is not very sure. I have been looking for it in the forum and Baidu for a long time, but there is no specific location map of the replacement tire lift point of Weilang. Finally, I checked with the car friends before I dared to do it. I think maybe I am not the first one to encounter a bottleneck, so I want to record the process of changing the spare tire. I hope it will be helpful to Weilang cyclists.
Spent more than two hours to wash the car clean, although Weilang updated several times, but still do not get tired of my 17 models, the appearance is still not out of date.
Every time I go back to my hometown to wash the car, I always scrub the tires and wheels, which is definitely better than the car wash. Sometimes even spray a layer of rubber protective agent to prevent tire rubber aging. Weilang this car is equipped with Goodrich II 205×55 R16 tires. After more than two years of use, I feel that this tire is still very economical, mainly leather and durable, and is very suitable for use in domestic cars.
Cleaning the stones in the tire pattern grooves, often running in the country is like this. Basically, there are a lot of pebbles stuck every time. If they are not cleaned in time, the tires will be damaged, and sometimes the pebbles will clatter when they run. Affect the feeling of driving.
Did not buy a special tool for cleaning stones (hook), generally speaking, it is very convenient to clean it with an ordinary screwdriver. The only deficiency is that the car is not lifted, there will be a dead corner, the stone will not be very clean, but it is good to be able to clean up the big chunks.
Found that this nail may be my occupational disease (I used to work to check the train), on the black tire, this nail looks very conspicuous.
In fact, I do not know when the nail was pierced, and the tire did not leak. Judging from the wear and tear of the nail cap, I felt that the time of piercing should not be very short. At that time, I thought that if there was no air leakage, it would be all right.
At first, I thought the lifting point was on the side skirt of the side beam, but I was not sure that the Jack dared not send force on it. I quickly pulled out when I saw the car slowly sinking and a little deformed.
Finally, I found the car friends to determine this position. At that time, I only knew how to look for it in the side skirt. I didn’t find a gap in the rib here, which happened to coincide with the Jack.
It is easy to find the lifting point and install the Jack that comes with the car.
The tools for changing the tire are under the trunk partition. If you change the tire at home, you will take out the spare tire, Jack and wrench will be OK. If you are on the road, you need to set up the reflective tripod in advance.
Start to rise…
The specific installation position of the Jack.
Up, up. The suspension is slowly lengthened and the car body is slowly improved.
OK, you can stop jacking when the tire is in the air.
Remove the tire fixing screw. This tool is shared with the Jack wrench. The screw is so tight that I guess the girl can’t take it off. Anyway, when I dismantled it, I began to wonder if I got it backwards because it was too tight.
OK, the tire of the original car has been taken off, remove the screw may not be taken off, a kick on the OK.
The original car is equipped with a non-full-size spare tire with the specification of 115thumb 70R16. The spare tire has a label indicating the matters needing attention in the use of the spare tire.
The installation was ridiculed by my wife as a motorcycle tire. It was really awkward to use it for the first time.
A close look at the wound, the time should be very long, pull out the nail will be dumbfounded, the nail is that kind of longer.
After changing the spare tire, there is no tire pressure monitoring at the right rear. Although the spare tire is written with a speed limit of 80, it is recommended to drive at a low speed and change into full-size tires as soon as possible.
