It is not advisable to continue using them. Small cracks on vehicle tires indicate the presence of crazing. Since tires are made of rubber material, they will age over time, which can affect the normal use of the vehicle tires. In severe cases, it may lead to tire blowouts, compromising driving safety. Below is some relevant information about tires: Tire lifespan: The wear lifespan of tires is approximately 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. If the tires have not reached the wear limit or mileage but have been in use for 5 years or developed numerous cracks on the sidewalls, they should be replaced. Tire material: The main component of tires is rubber. The maximum storage and anti-aging time for rubber, from natural latex to EPDM and nitrile, does not exceed 10 years. The average service life of various rubber products in use is 3-5 years.

Below are detailed explanations and solutions: Dirty throttle: The solution is to clean the fuel system, throttle, and fuel injectors. In cold conditions, carbon deposits can absorb some fuel, and if the fuel does not completely enter the cylinder for combustion, it can lead to unstable idling and difficulty starting. Slight lateral tilting of the engine transmission: The solution is to replace the damaged inner CV joint or axle shaft, as there is a certain angle between the axial direction of the axle shaft and the inner CV joint, causing the force point to continuously change along the axial direction during rotation. Ignition system failure: The solution is to inspect the spark plugs, ignition wires, and ignition coils. Typically, leakage in the ignition wires or carbon buildup on the spark plugs can cause vibration, which can be resolved by replacement.

How to Use Car Air Conditioning to Defog?

Turn on the fan and cooling switch inside the car, and the cold air blowing onto the front windshield will quickly dissipate the fog, with a very direct effect. The biggest downside is that people inside the car will feel very cold. In the already chilly winter, the discomfort of blowing cold air from the air conditioning is hard to bear. If the fog inside the car is not heavy, you can open a small gap in the windows on both sides. This creates an airflow between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and causing the fog to disappear. Both cold and warm air have their pros and cons. If you're in a hurry to hit the road, you can use cold air as an emergency measure. In most cases, however, it is recommended to use warm air.
