Cars do not use inner tubes but instead utilize tubeless tires. Principle of Tubeless Tires: Operating on the inflation expansion principle, tubeless tires rely on the outer tire's sealing gasket and the wheel rim's outer edge structure to contain the internal gas. The outer tire serves the dual purpose of an inner tube. The tubeless tire forms an integral seal with the wheel rim, demanding high manufacturing precision. Most employ die-cast aluminum one-piece wheel rims with superior tire positioning accuracy and minimal radial runout. Usage Precautions: Maintain specified air pressure at all times. While inner tube tires are made of high-quality rubber with excellent elasticity, flexibility, and wide pressure adaptability, tubeless tires offer wear resistance but poor pressure tolerance. Even tubeless tires must avoid puncture by sharp objects and contact with acids, alkalis, or oil contamination which accelerates rubber degradation.

Does the Peugeot 408 require battery matching when replacing the battery?

Yes, matching is required. The Peugeot 408 can also be fitted with a non-start-stop battery. Specialized start-stop car batteries offer more cycles and a longer lifespan compared to regular batteries. Their plates are harder, and the active material is less prone to shedding, making them suitable for vehicles with start-stop modes. Most vehicles equipped with start-stop systems come standard with specialized start-stop batteries and starters, which have a lifespan 3-8 times longer than regular batteries and starters. Under normal usage, the battery lifespan can exceed 6 years. Below is more related information: Start-stop Batteries: Start-stop batteries are primarily manufactured using stamping processes. Due to the high technical requirements, currently only a few multinational companies like Johnson Controls in the U.S. can produce them. At present, most domestically produced automatic start-stop equipment relies on imported batteries, with the high costs driving up the overall price of the equipment, which objectively hinders the widespread adoption of automatic start-stop technology. Despite facing technical barriers, start-stop batteries represent a significant opportunity for Chinese battery manufacturers. Mastering the core technologies would allow domestically produced start-stop batteries to offer substantial price advantages. In the automotive industry, the rapid development of automatic start-stop technology has led to a corresponding surge in demand for these batteries. However, the standards for start-stop batteries are very high. Currently, most vehicles use conventional lead-acid batteries manufactured with outdated 'grid casting' processes, which have a lifespan of only a few years. Even more advanced continuous casting and rolling techniques fail to meet the requirements.

Why Can't Used Cars Purchase Commercial Insurance?

Many used cars for sale do not have commercial insurance because the original owners, anticipating the sale of their vehicles, often only maintain compulsory traffic insurance and forego commercial insurance. Another possibility is that the commercial insurance was canceled by used car dealers. When dealers acquire vehicles, they may cancel the commercial insurance to count it as part of their profits. Below is a detailed introduction to commercial insurance for vehicles: Vehicle Damage Insurance: This covers damage to the vehicle caused by natural disasters or accidents within the insurance liability. Third-party Liability Insurance: This covers direct property damage and personal injuries to third parties caused by accidents involving the driver. Theft and Robbery Insurance: This insurance covers losses due to the entire vehicle being stolen, robbed, or forcibly taken, as well as reasonable repair costs for damages or missing parts and accessories during such incidents.

Why Do Used Cars Only Come with One Key?

If a used car only comes with one key, it indicates that the seller may be hiding something. In such cases, consumers should promptly clarify the reason and request relevant documentation from the seller. Otherwise, it is advisable to be cautious about the purchase. Here are some considerations when buying a used car: Documentation: Ensure the vehicle's documents are authentic and complete. Verify that the engine number and chassis number on the documents match those on the vehicle. Check if the vehicle can be transferred, whether it has any liens, court seizures, financial disputes, or unresolved violations. Also, confirm whether the inspection and insurance are up to date. For company-owned vehicles, check if there are any specific local transfer requirements. Vehicle Condition: Be cautious about purchasing a car in poor condition, no matter how cheap it is. After identifying the desired model, if the budget allows, opt for a vehicle with a more recent manufacturing year whenever possible.
