You can drive on the day the temporary license plate expires, as long as it's before midnight. The paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use, also known as a temporary vehicle license plate, is issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau for newly purchased vehicles before formal registration. The validity period of a temporary license plate generally does not exceed thirty days. A license plate, commonly referred to as a vehicle plate, is a panel made of materials such as aluminum, sheet iron, plastic, or paper, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. It is mounted on the front and rear of the vehicle. License plates serve to number and register vehicle information, primarily enabling identification of the vehicle's region of registration and facilitating access to the owner's details and the vehicle's registration information through the plate number.

Can Snow Tires Still Be Used After 6 Years?

Snow tires cannot continue to be used after 6 years. Reasons for not continuing to use them: Rubber products harden, crack, and lose their original elasticity over time. Generally, they should be replaced every 6 years. Snow tires are specifically designed and manufactured for winter snow conditions. When driving in hot weather, they differ from summer tires in terms of handling, comfort, noise, and speed limits. Therefore, they should be switched back to summer tires when temperatures rise in spring and the roads are dry. Snow tire composition: They typically use a different rubber compound than all-season tires. Winter tires contain a higher proportion of natural rubber and silica, which more effectively enhances grip in low-temperature conditions.
