Yes, a new car requires an inspection in the second year. The consequences of overdue vehicle inspection are as follows: 1. No compensation for accidents involving overdue inspection: Insurance policies explicitly state that un-inspected vehicles will be denied claims. If an accident occurs involving a vehicle that has not undergone the required inspection or fails the inspection, or if the vehicle lacks a valid driving license, the insurer will not be liable for compensation. This means the insurance policy only applies to qualified and legal vehicles. In addition to refusing compensation for accidents involving vehicles with overdue inspections, insurance companies will also deny claims for lost vehicles. 2. Vehicles not inspected for three consecutive cycles will be forcibly scrapped: According to Article 4 of the 'Compulsory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles,' vehicles that fail to obtain an inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection period will be forcibly scrapped. Specifically, for private cars, inspections are required every two years for the first six years, annually from the 7th to the 15th year, and every six months after 15 years. If a vehicle fails to obtain an inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles, it will be forcibly scrapped.

What does the tire size 215/55/r17 mean?

215 represents the tire width of 215 millimeters; 55 indicates the aspect ratio, meaning the ratio of tire height to width is 55%; The letter denotes the tire structure, with R standing for radial tire; 17 signifies the applicable rim diameter of 17 inches. Below are the tire maintenance precautions and replacement criteria: Tire maintenance precautions: Maintain a safe distance when driving at high speeds to avoid unnecessary or frequent braking, which can reduce tire damage; Periodically and appropriately rotate the tires on the vehicle to ensure even wear; Front tires should preferably use tires with vertical tread patterns, while rear tires should opt for horizontal tread patterns; When tire wear reaches the tread wear indicator, replacement is necessary. Tire replacement criteria: Rubber has a certain lifespan. Under normal circumstances, car tires have a service life of about 3-5 years, as they are constantly exposed to wind, sun, and rain, leading to gradual aging of the rubber. Aged tires lose strength, so they should be replaced promptly upon reaching their service life.
