How to Distinguish Between Retreaded Tires and New Tires?

Here are methods to identify retreaded tires: 1. Check the tire's expiration date: The production date of a tire: Generally, tires should not be stored for more than 3 years from the production date and should not be used for more than 8 years after installation. The production date is usually printed on the tire sidewall near the rim, represented by 4 digits. The first two digits indicate the week of production, and the last two digits indicate the year of production. For example, 4714 means the tire was produced in the 47th week of 2014. 2. Observe the tread pattern and color: Inferior retreaded tires often have shallower tread grooves due to irregular processing, and the color of retreaded tires is usually overly bright, whereas new tires from reputable manufacturers do not exhibit this. 3. Examine the tread pattern code: This is something car owners might not pay much attention to. It mainly involves checking if the tread pattern matches the markings and whether there are any signs of bonding on the tire sidewall. 4. Inspect the tire markings: Generally, retreaded tires have reattached markings. If you can scratch these markings off with your fingernail, it's a retreaded tire. Alternatively, small triangular symbols are often printed on the outer side of the tire. These symbols usually indicate significant tire wear, reaching the standard for scrapping. The markings on inferior retreaded tires are often counterfeit labels applied by small workshops, so scratching the markings can also help in identification.

Where are the drainage holes located on the doors of the 2018 Sagitar?

The drainage holes on the doors of the 2018 Sagitar are located at the bottom of each door. You can see them by removing the sealing strip at the bottom of the door. Additionally, water that enters the door through the gaps around the window glass is drained out through small holes at the lower edge of the door and the lower part of the hinges. During rain, a small amount of water may enter the door, and this water is expelled through the door's drainage holes. More details are as follows: 1. There are many drainage holes on a car, such as door drainage holes, sunroof drainage holes, and trunk lid drainage holes. It's common to see people distributing small cards, and sometimes these cards get stuck between the door and the window. It's advisable to remove these cards before rolling down the window. If the cards are not removed, they can easily fall inside the door during the window-lowering process. If a card falls inside and blocks the drainage hole, water accumulated in the door during rain cannot drain out, leading to more significant issues. 2. If a card falls inside the door and gets soaked by water, it will eventually disintegrate over time, causing an unpleasant odor inside the car. If a card falls inside the door, removing it requires dismantling the door's interior panel. Therefore, always remove any cards stuck on your window. Regularly cleaning the main drainage holes on your car can prevent blockages. Be cautious with the drainage holes under the doors, as they are easily damaged.
