Five years and 80,000 kilometers, let’s talk about the Camry that helped me start a family and start a business!

Finally, I went to the auto repair shop and went to Chiga to replace four Michelin Haoyue 4s. Oh, I forgot to mention that my brother drives a seventh-generation Camry. He has been driving it for five years and has clocked 80,000 kilometers. Lao Kai is my second car. Although it didn’t accompany me into the workplace, and it wasn’t the first car I loved to practice with, it accompanied me to take her on dates, accompanied me to marry her, and accompanied me from the delivery room. He picked her up and her children back, accompanied me on a 180-kilometer commute to and from work, and accompanied me in wind and rain... Although it was not dazzling and did not bring me scenery, it never left me on the road, and it never left me. Let me down. How to evaluate this car? It's not sporty or classy, ??but it's not ugly or outdated either. Nothing about her is eye-catching, but everything is sufficient. In the final analysis, she is a very housekeeping wife. Today I will talk about my "wife" with you!

Lao Kai has been with me for so long and has been driving for so long, and there has been no problem in all aspects, including picking up the children after work, going out for fun and long-distance business trips... After running these 80,000 kilometers, looking back Look, reliability is probably the impression it gives me. What I am most dissatisfied with now is that the leather of this car is too thin. One is that the paint falls off as soon as I scratch it. I dare not get too close to the sprinkler truck for fear that the flying stones will leave some traces of time on me. .

You said that cars from a few years ago, except for the interior, may not be up to date and are a bit old-fashioned. Other than that, other aspects are quite good, but the style of the Camry has not always been like this. Well. By the way, another problem that has been bothering me for a long time is the sound insulation. I don’t know if it is also because of the thin leather. The sound insulation is really uncomfortable, mainly due to tire noise and wind noise. The noise gets louder as the vehicle speed increases. The same applies when accelerating. When you step on the accelerator when going uphill or something, the sound of the engine also makes your heart feel uncomfortable. People in middle age lack a lot of the pleasure brought by the high-speed sound waves. After thinking about it, I can't find a solution. Soundproofing the door or replacing the soundproof glass is too troublesome. I think I should change the tires first. Anyway, they are almost worn out and it's time to change them. I want to change to silent tires. Maybe it will be better.

The current tire is from Bridgestone, which is considered the second tire on my car. The original tire broke when I drove it 50,000 kilometers, and then I replaced it with the current tire. Unexpectedly, it was only less than 30,000 kilometers and it would not work anymore. Based on these circumstances, I also read the forum for a long time, because I thought that in addition to being silent, I also want to be more comfortable and wear-resistant. If I want to make the whole thing better, it will be about the same even if I use it for five or six years. Changed car. Michelin is quite like a three-good student in all aspects, and is not bad in all aspects. Although there are so many domestic and foreign giants in the tire market, each has its own excellence and outstanding shining points, but in terms of comprehensiveness, I am still willing to choose Michelin. Among them, the one that best meets my requirements is the Haoyue 4. This tire seems to have just been launched a few years ago. I read the program report at that time and found that the test vehicle on site used my generation of Haoyue 4.

I ordered the tires at a certain Bao flagship store. When ordering, I chose the Chijia store nearest me and placed the order. ?It was delivered directly to the store. It took about three or four days. The master called to make an appointment for installation.

The tires were from the 30th week of 2020. I guess they were from July. Really Jean was surprised for a while, it was quite new.

You can see there is a QR code on the tire. You can scan the code to view the data of the tire. You can also register a "As You Go" member on the official account, which has a lot of automotive assistance. Services, including roadside assistance and so on, are still very practical. ?Specially checked the original factory data. This 60 is the ratio of tire wall to cross-section width. The larger the ratio, the more comfortable it is. Let me tell you, this car should be more comfortable.

The premise of exercise is that you must be able to run on domestic roads. Generally, the sidewalls and treads of sports tires are relatively soft. If you drive a little crazy on domestic road conditions and encounter a big pothole or speed bump, the tires will easily bulge and become useless. Supercar tires, for example, are very popular in China. Do you dare to drive too fast on some roads? So it is better to choose a tire with strong leather and strong resistance. It is much more reliable to drive than the so-called sports tires, not to mention that we are still a Taiwanese Camry.

The master works very neatly. Seeing that the master is very busy, I didn’t get close enough to take random pictures

The installation process by the master was very serious. After the installation is completed, a second master will inspect it, including the screws and everything else. All are included in the routine inspection. I would like to thank the master here.

It’s been a few months since I replaced it, and I really have too much to say about the improvement in driving experience. I’ll hurry up and hand in this assignment before the end of the year. Let’s keep the story short and talk briefly. chat. ?The first and most important thing is the suppression of tire noise. This is much better than the Bridgestone Turanza I replaced before. The tire noise is getting louder and louder. I don’t know if it’s a problem with the tires themselves. Anyway, I should have changed them a long time ago. I regret that I changed them late. After the replacement, the noise was reduced by more than half, and I felt much better while driving. My family also said that they felt good while riding in the car. ?And comfort. As I said just now, when our family uses a car, we don’t have to think about sportsmanship. It is still comfortable and smooth, which is more suitable for us middle-aged people. My daughter-in-law seems to have a stronger feeling about this than me. Also, if you change to comfortable tires and add the Camry's comfortable little sofa in the back, how could it not be comfortable? In short, when driving, it is much more comfortable to go over speed bumps, and the bumpy feeling is filtered out a lot. As for cutting corners, we don’t think about it, and I don’t have the passion anymore, haha. ?Finally, let’s talk about the braking performance. I didn’t expect the braking performance of Haoyue 4 in rainy days. Before braking at the same speed, the Turanza’s braking distance was at least 3-4 meters longer. After replacing it, because of Haoyue 4’s The drainage grooves are wider and deeper than other models, so the water will be quickly drained away from the tires, ensuring the grip and at least further ensuring the driving safety of the family. This is commendable and I feel most at ease. A little bit!

I still want to sigh that this space with a big leather sofa and new tires is really cool.

After authenticating the key, I am personally quite satisfied with the experience of replacing Laokai with new tires this time. Everyone has a different role positioning for the car. I hope that my car can accompany me in a down-to-earth manner. As a family, we don’t need luxury or powerful power. We just need to have no vehicle problems. By the way, a reminder to friends who are confused, if you also change this tire, you can see if there is an Acoustic silent version in your size. This version has a cavity sponge to solve the noise from the source. It is said to have a silent effect. Very good. I don’t have this model of tire size. I can buy a suitable one and give it a try. We can also exchange experiences on using car tires. Hehe. ?Finally, I wish you guys to find a car that will accompany you throughout your life as soon as possible.
