Winter tires can run at 120 km/h on highways, but it is not recommended to use winter tires for high-speed driving. This is because the tires generate significant noise and experience severe wear during high-speed driving, which also increases the vehicle's fuel consumption. The main reason winter tires should not be used for extended periods at high speeds is their softer tread, which can lead to unstable contact with the road surface and accelerated wear during high-speed driving. Winter tires are specifically designed for snowy conditions, enhancing a vehicle's traction and safety on icy or snowy roads. The tread of winter tires features a special silica-based compound that remains flexible at low temperatures, ensuring excellent grip on icy surfaces.

Can a car battery with no power at all still be used?

Whether a car battery with no power can still be used depends on the specific situation: if the battery only occasionally loses power once or twice, it can continue to be used; if the battery frequently loses power, it should not be used further and needs to be replaced promptly. The functions of the battery are: 1. Providing a strong starting current to the starter when starting the engine; 2. Assisting the generator in supplying power to electrical equipment when the generator is overloaded; 3. Supplying power to electrical equipment when the engine is idling; 4. Protecting the car's electrical appliances. The maintenance methods for the battery are: 1. Starting the car regularly to charge the battery; 2. Adding distilled water or a special replenishing fluid when the electrolyte is low; 3. Frequently checking whether the small holes on the battery cover are ventilated during daily driving; 4. Checking for signs of oxidation on the positive and negative terminals of the battery; 5. Inspecting all parts of the circuit for signs of aging or short circuits; 6. Turning off electrical equipment when leaving the car.

Can local traffic violations be checked within three days?

Local traffic violations can be checked within three days. Here is some information about violation handling: 1. Time frame: Vehicle owners need to go to the local traffic police station to handle the violation within 15 days of receiving the penalty message after the violation occurs.

It is advisable to handle it early to avoid unnecessary penalties. 2. Confirmation method: The fastest and most effective way to know if you have committed a violation is to inquire about the violation at the vehicle management office or traffic police station. You need to bring important documents such as your driver's license, vehicle license, and ID card. All three are essential.

Can Windshield Washer Fluid Expire?

Windshield washer fluid can expire. Expired windshield washer fluid should not be used as it loses its effectiveness. Unlike plain water that only serves a cleaning purpose, high-quality automotive windshield washer fluid is primarily composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. Windshield washer fluid possesses the following properties: 1. Cleaning Performance: The fluid is formulated with multiple surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, thereby achieving cleaning and stain removal. 2. Anti-Fog Performance: A monomolecular protective layer forms on the glass surface. This protective film prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent with unobstructed visibility. 3. Anti-Static Performance: After cleaning with the fluid, substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate static charges on the glass, providing anti-static properties.
