The Pros and Cons of Large Alloy Wheels

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Wheel rim

Video tutorial

Cars, even small ones, with large alloy wheels have a sportier and more aggressive appearance; however, they can also compromise comfort, as larger wheels are often paired with low-profile tyres, meaning the tyre thickness becomes thinner, which is a weak point when driving on uneven roads, deep potholes, or manhole covers.

It is easy to hit a pothole without noticing and damage the tyre, jeopardising the safety of the entire vehicle.

Additionally, consider the significant cost of replacing at least two tyres (those on the axle where the damaged tyre was located). On the other hand, there is definitely greater steering precision, especially at high speeds, along with the appealing aesthetic aspect.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
