Tires can be replaced one by one. Here are some considerations for tire replacement: Pay attention to the front and back sides of the tire: The so-called front and back sides of the tire specifically refer to which side needs to face outward. The tread patterns that appear identical on both sides actually have a direction. If installed incorrectly, it may lead to uneven tire wear. When installing the tire, simply place the side with numbers facing the front of the wheel hub. However, different manufacturers may have different labeling methods. For example, some brand tires will mark the word "OUTSIDE" on the sidewall. After installing the tire, there is another essential step—wheel balancing. Pay attention to distinguishing between new and old tires: The differences between new and old tires are evident when placed side by side. The tread depth and rubber color are noticeably different. The small particles on new tires and the hairs on the sidewalls indicate that the tire has not been driven on, which is a sign of a brand-new tire.

I've been driving for over a decade and don't recommend replacing tires one by one, as it may pose safety risks. Car tires are the only contact point between the vehicle and the road. Replacing just one tire when others have uneven wear can lead to vehicle imbalance, longer braking distances, or skidding during turns. This risk is especially higher during rainy conditions or high-speed driving. I usually suggest replacing at least two tires on the same axle to ensure similar wear and prevent accidents. Of course, if one tire is newly punctured while the others are still new, you might replace just one, but check that the tread depth matches. Otherwise, regular tire wear inspections are crucial—like measuring if the tread depth is below 3mm. Overall, prioritize safety over saving money or cutting corners. Have a professional technician assess the situation before deciding, as this is vital for peace of mind while driving.

Why does the fan keep running after the car key is removed?

It is normal for the fan to continue running after the car key is removed, and it usually stops after a few minutes. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. The fan is the cooling fan, and its main function is to blow air for cooling. In other words, as long as the temperature is too high, the fan will operate. 2. There is a sensor near the radiator. When the engine temperature is higher than the set value, the fan will operate; when the engine temperature is lower than the set value, the fan will automatically stop. 3. The fan is not controlled by the key. The cooling fan is directly connected to the battery, so as long as the battery has power and the engine temperature is high, it will continue to run until the temperature drops.

How to Repair a Cracked Car Bumper?

When a car bumper is cracked, it can be repaired using a plastic welding gun. Here are the details on how to repair a cracked car bumper: 1. Check the material of the front bumper. If it is made of plastic, it can be repaired by gluing and repainting to restore its original condition. This method is particularly beneficial for larger "holes" caused by collisions, as plastic bumpers are easier to repair. 2. If the bumper is made of carbon fiber, it can also be repaired, but the equipment required for this material is specialized and differs from a plastic welding gun. The repair process is more challenging, and the results are usually average. Typically, rear bumpers made of this material are replaced with new ones. However, for smaller "holes," replacing the entire part might be wasteful, so some owners opt for a simple repair using special glue and repainting as a temporary solution. 3. Assess the size of the "hole" caused by the collision. If it is too large or the cost of repairing it to its original state is close to the price of an original replacement part (such as a rear bumper), then the repair method mentioned above may not be worthwhile. In such cases, purchasing an original replacement part (such as a front bumper) is the more practical solution.
