Modification have not finished yet while the alloy wheels not changed. The more thin wall tires, the bigger alloy wheels, higher prestige.
This trend began to depart from the race that is quickly transmitted to the modification spaces. In the circuit, large alloy wheels with tire walls thin (low profile) and the tread width is very beneficial because car drivers become more agile and responsive on the corner.
Moreover, hardly changed the tire diameter, so no longer need to adjust the speedometer and odometer. Large wheels also appear to appear sporty and masculine. No doubt, the main factor driving this is the proliferation of this trend the community.
Changing the default factory alloy wheels (OE / original equipment) with a larger diameter is known as plus-sizing. In these terms then known repertoire of plus-one, meaning that adding one inch diameter alloy wheels from OE. Examples from a 16-inch 15-inch. Similarly plus-two, add two inches, from 15 inch to 17 inch, and so on.
Apparently according to Consumer Reports testing, consumer protection agency in the USA, plus-one proved to yield the greatest benefits in terms of Performance. Plus-two and so on just gives a little extra traction while driving comfort, hydroplaning resistance and traction dropped. Price to pay is also more expensive. So bigger is not always more profitable. Plus-sizing is not recommended for SUVs unless indeed an option from the manufacturer.
Therefore, if you’re satisfied with the handling and comfort driving your car, it would suggest to forget the plus-sizing. Faithful only with OE.
Risk Plus Sizing
If not, start by considering the risk. Tires with big wheels and low profile responsive ride on the road was smooth. Conversely hollow road / rough, the tire is not perfectly capable of damping. Driving so uncomfortable. Therefore the streets in this country still have to ‘understandable’, the most wise if plus-sizing, not too far from the OE tire size.
Not only eroded the level of driving comfort, plus sizing excess (plus two / three or more) also threaten the safety wheels. Consumer Reports Tests at plus-three plus two and end up with damage to wheels and tires.
Choosing Velg
If you know the risks, and remain ‘unwilling’ with OE tires, it was time to visit the tire store / modifier. They will offer wheels and tires that fit on OE tires. As a rule, the addition of 1-inch diameter alloy wheels, in the match by lowering the tire wall thickness of between 50-10 percent and the addition of the tire tread width of 10 millimeters. Make sure also speed rating and load rating of the new tires should be higher than the original tires. Please note, plus sizing tire diameters are always changing overalls. It is difficult to exactly match the OE. This will affect many things including the speedometer.
Check also the wheels are in the drill. Most wheels are made of aluminum or a mixture of aluminum and steel. The problem is their quality varies considerably. To check, start by asking how the wheels were made. Alloy forgings (forged wheel) the most powerful and most expensive. Pressure cast wheels are also sufficient, in addition to a stronger alloy wheels are also lighter than the print (cast wheel). This last alloy is made by flowing molten metal into molds.
After that check also his bolt pattern, does not fit with those of your car. So forget about the wheel-pit yearning heart that holes not match. Sellers may offer some kind of adapter that can outsmart the holes that do not fit this. Be careful, this second solution because this adapter will increase the tension in the bolts may loose when driving. Make sure the tires have offset the after-specification cars. Tire tread also peered stretchy whether grind liang ban.
Choosing modifier
Now check modifier that will change the tire. Choose which specialize in plus-sizing. Choosing an incompetent shop tire and wheel damage risk.
Make sure the warranty if not satisfied or no damage as the tire grinding wheel or speedometer screw hole.
Workshop is also equipped with a wheel aligned to prevent early tire wear. Similarly, the ability to adjust suspension system that must adapt to new legs
When a light gray or reddish brown, you take it easy because it means the engine is in good condition that fit the condition of the engine, ignition timing and engine settings.
When the end of the insulator, electrodes and spark plugs covered with black soot and combustion smooth and dry, you should immediately check the choke mechanism, the air filter and replace spark plugs if necessary. The possibility exists that does not fit with the spare parts. If ignored it will be wasteful fuel consumption, black smoke and difficult to start when engine cold.
Color slightly yellow edge insulation may appear light brown and green color usually indicates the possibility of gasoline or oil contaminated water or additives are less suitable. As a result, sluggish engine, slowly accelerates, breathing hard and explosive exhaust.
So be more frequent cleaning and caring for spark plugs. Since the spark plugs will support machine-groomed to work well. Clean the spark plug every 2500 km and have it replaced when it has covered 20 000 km
Leaky tire problem is very difficult, especially cars. As we was enjoying the journey, suddenly a flat tire due to hit a nail or similar sharp object. We need to replace a leaking tire with a spare tire, and brought to the workshop to patch it. What is ’suffering’ we end up? The answer is: Yes, because now ’suffering’ that continued into our tires!
What are carried out by a tire? Tires that had been intact now pierced with a skewer tool for your little finger. Tires that had been leaked just the tip of the needle, made hollow like the mouth of the pipe. Wow, we dead been the fate of our car tires. It’s known, since that was patched tubeless tire type alias without tires.
Once punched, the rope corking into the hole fiber strain tire with enough potential to further damage the tire. Starting from the rubber material, woven yarn to woven wire made tear and break apart, so that we become increasingly weak tires. This is the form after the end of our tire patched pay 80-10 thousand silver.
For the first time that the patch might still be able to survive for several weeks or months. But if it is leaking again at the same spot, which certainly could not be corked with a rope’s fibers. Well, is forced to use the inner tube.
With little effort and rubber glue, you can avoid further damage and to extend the age of your tires. Pump up your tires full of air, and turn slowly while watering the surface with water. After the air bubbles visible sign of the hole, circle the leaking area with paint or the like as a marker.
Collapse tires and rinse the area around the hole, and then leaked it with a dry cloth wipe. After drying completely, drop hole with any brand of rubber glue, so that the glue seeps into the hole. Help infiltration into the tire with glue jabbing a pointed object such as a pin or small nail into the hole clean, dry and wait for several minutes.
The final step, pump up the tires filled with air and slowly pour water into the hole that has been patched, to ensure that the hole has patched well. Make filling process, from beginning to end with great care and caution, so you do not need to repeat it if there is a failure.
Some advantages of this model such fillings are:
- Strong and anti-failure. Power glue adhesive or rubber adhesive power is higher than the cohesive power of the rubber itself. So this point becomes more powerful than the others. No part may fall off or bounce, as they only use glue. Moreover, the patched section is a very small hole.
- Does not weaken the tires a bit for the network.
- Not add any mass balancing aka affect balance.
- There will never tire in need throughout the life of the tire. Using tires in increasing costs, complicating the wheel settings, the reliability is lower and the risk of failure is much higher.
- Does not depend on others and tire workers as well as the tools that can be more complicated physical damage tires.
- The condition of the tires remained intact, as if it never had a leaky tire. No damage gum tissue, yarn and tire cord.
So, wants to prove? No harm in trying, right?
For the users of motor vehicles, the brake function is essential and not negotiable. Brakes are the most important safety component for the needs of motorists. For that, the condition of the brakes must always work perfectly, so that we avoid the incident “brake relieved” that eventually makes disastrous. Maintaining and improving the brakes are actually more modest than the engine or electrical system. There are several things that need to be taken by the driver to brake the car working properly:
- Brake shoe or brake.
To know the condition of the brake lining can be done by running the car at low speed while pressing the brake pedal and a half. Open the window and pay close attention friction voice. Both cars use the system disc brakes (disc) or drums will be issued a metal scraping sound when the brake has been exhausted. When that happens, replace the brake immediately with new products that manufacturers are encouraged to get maximum braking. Because, when the brake is still left plugged up, can cause abrasion on the wall above the disc or drum. If you already eroded, of course, costs will be far more expensive.
- Tromol (drums).
Currently there are many cars that use tromol or drum brake system. When rarely cleaned, much less often through a puddle of water, be easy on the brakes Tromol rusting. Immediately clean the rust that is on the dust cover (the dust cover) with fine sandpaper. Clean up all traces of rust remaining on the brake with the same sandpaper. Then coat of lubricant on the parts that have friction. Be careful when installing the brake circuit back or ask for your trust to do this workshop. When you are replacing it, try to walk slowly to reexamine the accuracy of the brake job.
- Erosion of discs and drums.
When abrasion disc or drum already occurred due to brake that has been discharged, you can bring your car to the turner. Just need to considered thoroughly to determine if it needs new turner returned or replaced. Measurement error on turning could be fatal, because the brakes may not work optimally.
- Brake fluid.
Brake fluid is like the heart of the braking system. For that volume of brake fluid in the master brake should always be on a level that is determined. To determine the appropriate amount of brake fluid, can be seen at the height of the control line in the brake fluid bottle.
- Master brake.
Braking system or not less than the maximum grip could result from the ineffectiveness of the master brake performance. Usually caused by brake fluid pressure in the brake master reduced. To restore these pressures can be achieved by rearranging the wind pressure in the brake master. For that, prepare to open the bolt wrenches his master cylinders. Before the bolts are opened, ask your partner to help shake up the brake pedal. When stepping repeatedly on the brake pedal under, ask your partner to hold some ground, while you loosen the master cylinder bolts. In this way the brake fluid will shine and you must immediately mengencangkannya bolt it back quickly. Ask your friend to repeat a foothold on the brake pedal. If the footing at the end was not too deep, then the improvement you make is correct.
- Handbrake.
Perform inspections on handbrake cable (handbrake). In serrations handbrake, you can moisten it with lubricating gel or grease (fat). While the cord itself can be smeared with lubricating oil. Check the length of the cord level through Handbrake lever. If the pull is too high, you can reduce it through bolts controller. Handbrake lever repeatedly for lubricants and lubricant gel evenly. When you pull the lever handbrake has been short, but still less good grip on the brake, it means that the brake was thirsty and asked to be replaced.
