Even within the Michelin brand, different tread patterns represent different product positioning. If you prioritize tire comfort, noise reduction, and mileage, we recommend choosing the PRIMACY-3-ST, a high-end comfort-oriented tire tread pattern. If you place more emphasis on tire grip and handling, the Pilot-sport4 is suggested, a tire designed for entry-level sports cars and mid-to-high-performance sedans. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Purchasing tips: Generally, when selecting tires, pay attention to the speed rating, load index, production date, and size. If the tire's production date is three years old, do not purchase it, as tires degrade when stored unused. 2. Timely replacement: Replace tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within those four years is minimal. Since tires are rubber products, they will age over time, and not replacing them for extended periods can pose safety hazards.

Can Vehicle Annual Inspection Be Handled by an Agent?

Vehicle annual inspection can be handled by an agent. The agent needs to present the owner's authorization letter and the relevant vehicle documents to conduct the annual inspection on behalf of the owner. Before the inspection, all required documents and materials should be prepared, including the ID card, driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and proof of compulsory traffic insurance. The agent will also need their own ID card. Additional information: Introduction to vehicle annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle conducted in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." Vehicle annual inspections help to promptly identify and eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

Which driving school can apply for a C5 driver's license?

You can apply for a C5 driver's license at either the vehicle management office or a driving school. Here is detailed information about the C5 driver's license: 1. Process: First, consult a qualified driving school, then undergo a medical examination at a hospital approved by the provincial health department. 2. Medical examination items: Mainly include vision, upper limbs, and whether there is hypertension. After the medical examination, register at the driving school with the medical examination form, enter the vehicle management department's student list, and study traffic regulations. The first subject test is for training in site driving skills. The second subject test is for training in road driving skills. The third subject test is taken after passing the previous two tests. After passing all three subjects, you can obtain a C5 driver's license.

What type of engine oil is used in the Haval H6?

Haval H6's factory-recommended engine oil model is CI-4 with a viscosity of 15W-40. Additional information: I. Classification of engine oil: 1. Engine oils are categorized into winter-use and summer-use oils based on viscosity. Winter-use oils include SAE0W, SAE5W, SAE10W, SAE15W, SAE20W, SAE25W, where 'W' stands for winter. The smaller the number before 'W', the lower the low-temperature viscosity, making it suitable for colder environments. Summer-use oils include SAE20, SAE30, SAE40, SAE50, where larger numbers indicate higher viscosity, suitable for higher ambient temperatures. 2. The API classification method divides engine oils into two series: S and C. Gasoline engine oils belong to the S series, currently including SG, SJ, SL, SM, SN grades. Higher grades offer better performance and are more suitable for newer technology engines. Diesel engine oils belong to the C series, currently including CE, CF, CH, CI grades in China. Higher grades provide better lubrication and cleaning effects. II. Functions of engine oil: 1. Lubrication: Engine oil forms a continuous oil film between all friction surfaces of moving parts to reduce friction. 2. Cooling: During circulation, engine oil flows over the working surfaces of parts, lowering their temperature. 3. Cleaning: The flow of lubricating oil washes away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts. 4. Sealing and leakage prevention: Engine oil can form a seal between piston rings and pistons, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering.

How to Reduce Wind Resistance in Cars?

Methods to reduce wind resistance in cars include: 1. Flat underbody: A flat underbody not only reduces the resistance when air flows through but also minimizes the lift caused by turbulence. The ideal underbody consists of a complete lightweight underbody armor, but this is generally not cost-effective. Electric vehicles do not have an exhaust system, so their underbody design is naturally flatter. With reasonable component layout, they usually achieve better aerodynamic performance. 2. Utilize ground effect: Ground effect involves using baffles around the car body to divert the airflow that originally passes under the car to both sides of the body while reducing the entry of airflow from both sides into the vehicle's underside. This creates a low-pressure area between the car and the ground, resulting in a pressure difference between the car body and underbody, generating additional downforce. This enhances tire grip, reduces rolling friction, and improves energy efficiency. 3. Various airflow guiding devices: In areas where the car body's angle changes exceed 12 degrees (such as the rear), using spoilers, diffusers, and other guiding devices can improve the car's aerodynamic performance. Their general principle is to guide airflow more smoothly over the car body, preventing turbulence around it. 4. Enclosed wheel hubs: Those who often watch F1 races are certainly familiar with this design, which has existed for a long time but is rarely used in traditional car designs because enclosed wheel hubs significantly affect the cooling performance of the braking system. When a car is in motion, due to the effect of air, aerodynamic forces in three directions—longitudinal, lateral, and vertical—are generated around the car's center of gravity, affecting high-speed driving differently. Among these, the longitudinal aerodynamic force is the largest, accounting for over 80% of the total aerodynamic force. Therefore, the component of the aerodynamic force acting on the car in the direction of travel during straight-line driving is called air resistance.

What to Do If You Forgot Your Driver's License?

If you forget your driver's license, you can provide valid identification such as an ID card or household registration booklet. The traffic police can check whether you have a driver's license through the information system. However, if it is found that you are driving without a license or your license has been revoked, you will be fined and administratively detained for 15 days. Depending on the situation of the driver providing the driver's license, the following measures will be taken: 1. Situation 1: The driver provides the driver's license. If there are no other violations while driving, a warning or a fine will be given, and the motor vehicle will be returned in time. 2. Situation 2: The driver provides the driver's license. If there are violations while driving, penalties will be imposed based on the violations and not carrying the driver's license, and the motor vehicle will be returned in time. 3. Situation 3: The driver fails to provide the driver's license and will be penalized for driving without a license.

How to Handle Traffic Violation Points When a Friend Drives My Car and Violates Rules?

The driver who committed the violation must personally bring their own driver's license and the vehicle's registration certificate to either the location where the violation occurred or the vehicle's place of origin to pay the fine and receive the penalty points. Below are the methods for handling traffic violations: 1. Online Processing: Violating vehicles can use the traffic violation processing app 12123, bind their vehicle information, check their vehicle's violation status at any time, and directly handle the violation online without going to the vehicle management office, which is very convenient and saves time and effort. 2. Bank Processing: If it is an on-the-spot violation penalty ticket, the vehicle owner needs to go to the bank to pay the fine as soon as possible. It is not necessary for the owner to go personally; as long as someone pays the fine in the end, it will be settled.
