Waste tires can be refined into oil. Since waste tires contain materials such as natural rubber and synthetic rubber, these substances can be decomposed to obtain tire oil through proper resource recycling. Tire Scrapping Standards: If a tire is found to be cracked, it should be replaced immediately. If a tire is severely worn, it will reduce the braking force of the vehicle. To prevent such situations, it is best to replace the tire promptly. During inspection, if the tire valve stem is made of rubber and turns dark red, it indicates that the valve stem has aged and can no longer ensure good airtightness, so it is best to replace it. Tire Lifespan: The service life of tires is generally 2-3 years or about 60,000-100,000 kilometers. When the tread depth reaches 1.6mm (minimum wear), the tires should be replaced immediately. Tires that exceed their shelf life (especially spare tires, which have a lifespan of approximately 3 years) will have significantly reduced overall performance.

Yes, waste tires can indeed be refined into oil. I've seen it firsthand during my recycling work. The whole process involves decomposing tires through high-temperature treatment—simply put, heating the tires to a certain temperature to extract the oil. The extracted oil is light and can be used as fuel, with versatile applications similar to diesel. Carbon black is also produced and can be sold for profit, while other components can be recycled. However, temperature control and safety measures are crucial to prevent serious air pollution. I recommend working with licensed facilities—they require simple equipment, low investment, and yield high returns. This approach reduces landfill waste and promotes resource recycling in an eco-friendly way. Many regions worldwide, especially those with oil shortages, are adopting this practical technology. Overall, it's a win-win solution with low technical barriers, as long as environmental regulations are followed.

Is it necessary to extend the warranty for BMW?

It is necessary to extend the warranty for BMW. The advantages of extended warranty are as follows: 1. Currently, the average service life of new cars in China is at least 5 years. The longer the vehicle is used and the higher the mileage, the greater the probability of failure, especially after the original factory warranty expires. The probability of failures in components such as air conditioning, oil circuits, electrical systems, braking systems, and suspension increases significantly, greatly raising the high repair risks borne by the owner. The extended warranty product covers the age range where the probability of repairs surges, thereby avoiding the risk of repair costs due to assembly damage for the owner, and also providing access to original factory repair parts and services. 2. Extended warranty can significantly reduce repair costs, avoiding huge expenses due to vehicle quality issues.

What are the causes of car tire blowouts?

Car tire blowouts can be caused by speeding and overloading, improper tire pressure, external impacts, etc. Here are the detailed explanations: Speeding and overloading leading to blowouts: Car tires are designed to bear the weight of the vehicle. Overloading puts excessive stress on the tires, while speeding causes the tire temperature to rise rapidly. The high heat generated during braking can also accumulate, leading to a blowout. Improper tire pressure causing blowouts: Tire pressure is the lifeline of a tire. Both excessively high and low tire pressure can cause abnormal wear, reducing the tire's lifespan and resulting in blowouts. External impacts causing blowouts: When driving at high speeds, external impacts or punctures from sharp objects can lead to tire blowouts.

What Does 'No Three Guarantees for Tires' Mean?

The term 'No Three Guarantees for Tires' refers to no warranty for repair, replacement, or refund. The functions of tires include: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load of the car; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to automotive components; 4. Adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reducing driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly cleaning stones from tire treads; 2. Minimizing exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Frequently checking tire pressure; 4. Paying attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Periodically inspecting front wheel alignment; 6. Being mindful of driving habits.
