Regular cars can be equipped with run-flat tires if the specifications match. Vehicles designed for run-flat tires have special matching designs in the chassis, suspension, and rims. Additional information is as follows: 1. Run-flat tires, also known as "self-supporting tires" or "low-pressure continuation tires," work by thickening the sidewalls. When deflated, the thick sidewalls provide support, allowing the car to continue driving. They are not truly "explosion-proof" or puncture-proof, but their durability exceeds that of other tires on the market, offering better safety. With run-flat tires, there's no need to worry about tire blowouts, eliminating the need to carry a spare tire or repair tools, thus reducing travel burden. 2. Run-flat tires are harder than regular tires and become even stiffer in low temperatures, leading to reduced tire grip and climbing ability. It's important to note that while run-flat tires can support the car for a certain distance in a deflated state, they cause significant damage to the tire. If driven too far in this condition, the tire may be ruined. Leaks in run-flat tires should be repaired promptly.

Why can't the car play music when connected to AUX?

When a car cannot play music through an AUX connection, it may be due to not using the original data cable, not switching to the correct format, or system errors. Here is some relevant information: AUX: The AUX interface (Auxiliary) refers to an audio input interface that can receive audio signals from electronic audio devices, including MP3 players (typically through a standard headphone jack), allowing the car's sound system to play music from these devices. Car Audio: Car audio (auto-audio) is a sound playback device installed to alleviate the boredom of drivers and passengers during travel. Initially, car AM radios were used, followed by AM/FM radios, cassette players, and later evolved to CD players and digital audio systems compatible with DCC and DAT formats.

Does removing the three-way catalytic converter affect the car?

The function of the car's three-way catalytic converter is to enhance the purification effect of vehicle exhaust. If removed, it will have an impact. The following are the roles of the three-way catalytic converter in a car: Principle of the three-way catalytic converter: The three-way catalytic converter refers to the process of converting harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. It primarily uses a three-way catalytic converter, whose carrier component is a porous ceramic material installed in a specially designed exhaust pipe. Effects of removing the three-way catalytic converter: It increases vehicle exhaust emissions because, after removing the three-way catalytic converter, the vehicle exhaust cannot be effectively purified, leading to excessive emissions. It also reduces the car's power and increases fuel consumption. Additionally, removing the three-way catalytic converter causes the vehicle's exhaust emissions to fail to meet standards, resulting in the car failing its annual inspection.
