A tire can run for 8,000-10,000 kilometers. Below are specific details about tires: 1. Definition: A tire is a circular elastic rubber product assembled on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. It is usually mounted on a metal rim to support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, achieve contact with the road surface, and ensure the vehicle's driving performance. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. At the same time, they are required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used for tire production, highlighting the significant rubber demand for tires. 2. Function: Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle. Their main functions include supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the vehicle's load; transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to prevent severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; adapting to the vehicle's high-speed performance and reducing driving noise; and ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.

I've been driving a taxi for over 20 years, so I know tires inside out. Regular family car tires can last 60,000 kilometers no problem, while durable ones can go up to 80,000. The key is how you drive - I never slam on the brakes or accelerator, so my tires last extra long. You've got to check tire pressure monthly too; underinflation wears out the tire edges fast. Also, park away from direct sunlight - UV rays make rubber age quicker. I rotate my tires every 10,000 km to even out the wear. Don't wait until the tread is completely worn down; start planning to replace when tread depth goes below 3mm, otherwise they'll skid easily in rain. Remember to regularly pick out stones - small rocks stuck in grooves can be dangerous at high speeds.

As a mother of two, I'm particularly concerned about tire safety. Generally, tires are recommended to be replaced every 50,000 to 70,000 kilometers, but it depends on the actual condition. I make it a habit to walk around the car before driving, mainly checking for bulges or cracks in the tires. I always keep a tire pressure gauge in the trunk and inflate the tires when the pressure is below the standard value. Frequent starts during traffic jams while picking up and dropping off the kids can be especially hard on the front tires, so I rotate the front and rear tires every six months. It's also important to pay attention to the age of the tires; rubber begins to deteriorate after three years, so even if the tread looks good, they should be replaced. Last time during maintenance, the mechanic taught me to use a coin to check the tread depth—if the head on the coin isn't visible when inserted into the tread, it's time to replace the tires.

Those who are into car modifications know that how long your tires last depends entirely on how you push them. I've tried no less than ten types of tires—performance tires are usually done by 40,000 km, while durable ones can last up to 80,000 km. But don't just focus on mileage—two laps on a track day can wear tires as much as two months of daily driving. To extend their lifespan, proper wheel balancing is a must; even slight rim deformation can cause uneven wear. I also keep a tire pressure monitor handy to check temperature changes, especially since high-speed driving in hot conditions is particularly harsh on tires. Every 5,000 km, I inspect the tread wear—if it's uneven, I get a wheel alignment immediately. If there’s any sidewall bulge, I replace the tire right away—a blowout is no joke.

A decade of car repair experience reveals that tire lifespan varies between 50,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Premium quiet tires like Michelin typically last 50,000-60,000 km, while domestic wear-resistant tires can endure 70,000-80,000 km. Key maintenance includes: monthly tire pressure checks, annual wheel alignment, and tire rotation during routine servicing. Common issues like uneven wear often indicate suspension problems - replacing tires without fixing the root cause is futile. Tires feature wear indicators in grooves; replacement is mandatory when tread reaches these raised markers. Never overlook manufacturing dates - sidewall cracking after six years poses serious highway risks. Always perform wheel balancing during tire changes to prevent steering wheel vibration.

Why Can't the Spare Key Start the Car?

Spare keys cannot start the car because the vehicle is equipped with an engine electronic anti-theft system. The car can only be started when the system recognizes a chip inside the key that matches the code stored in the anti-theft system. Since spare keys do not contain such a chip, they cannot start the car. Below is some relevant information about the engine electronic anti-theft system: Introduction: The engine electronic chip anti-theft system is a manufacturer-level anti-theft measure, and most passenger cars use this method as their original anti-theft device. Advantage: The digital password has an extremely low repetition rate, and the password key must make contact with the car's password lock to unlock, eliminating the risk of being scanned. Most new domestic cars are already equipped with the original factory chip anti-theft system.

What does 'carrying a vehicle' mean?

Carrying a vehicle is a practice aimed at saving costs such as toll fees, fuel expenses, and tire wear. It refers to long-distance drivers placing one vehicle on the cargo bed of another vehicle, making it appear as if they are carrying a car. While this method is effective and cost-saving, it is highly dangerous and can lead to severe traffic accidents. It has been deemed illegal by some traffic authorities and is now prohibited. The main reasons for not transferring ownership after a vehicle transaction include: the license plate registration location being too far away, making the transfer process costly; vehicles used as debt collateral, where the car may have been involved in multiple debt cycles; deceased owners with unregistered vehicles; transferring both the license plate and the car in areas with purchase restrictions; out-of-town vehicles unable to be registered locally due to migration restrictions; and some scammers selling converted commercial vehicles as low-priced 'carrier vehicles'.

What is the driving range for Beijing motorcycles with Jing B license plates?

Motorcycles with Jing B license plates are prohibited from driving within the Fourth Ring Road at all times. However, the auxiliary roads of the Fourth Ring Road (both inner and outer ring directions) are not within the prohibited area, meaning they can be driven on the auxiliary roads of the Fourth Ring Road. Motorcycles with non-local license plates are prohibited from driving within the Sixth Ring Road at all times. Prohibited range: Motorcycles with non-local license plates: prohibited from driving within the Sixth Ring Road at all times, but the main road of the Sixth Ring Road (both inner and outer ring directions) is not within the prohibited area, meaning they can be driven on the main road of the Sixth Ring Road. This is a new regulation implemented in Beijing on April 11, 2014. Motorcycles with out-of-province license plates are not allowed to enter within the Sixth Ring Road (excluding the main road of the Sixth Ring Road) from April 11, 2014. Currently, traffic police are strictly checking non-local license plate vehicles that illegally enter the Sixth Ring Road. If a motorcyclist traveling long distances accidentally enters the urban area and is stopped by the police, explaining the situation will usually result in leniency from Beijing police. As long as all documents are complete, there is no arbitrary vehicle impoundment. Typically, the police will point out the nearest exit route and allow the motorcyclist to proceed. The entire main road of the Sixth Ring Road is a toll section, with the same toll standards for motorcycles as for passenger vehicles with nine seats or fewer. Out-of-province motorcyclists passing through can choose to drive on the main road of the Sixth Ring Road, but they must comply with national and local laws and regulations. Additionally, the main road of the Sixth Ring Road has many large trucks and narrow lanes, so safety must be a priority.

Can I switch back to a gasoline vehicle license plate after changing to an electric vehicle in Beijing?

Yes, you can switch back. According to the current policy in Beijing, vehicle owners only need to schedule the time and location for the license plate change through the Internet Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform or the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app, and then proceed with the relevant procedures. The new policy for vehicle indicators in Beijing is as follows: Core content: In addition to the current lottery system for ordinary indicators and the queuing system for new energy indicators based on individual participation, a new method of indicator allocation based on "car-free families" and a points ranking system has been introduced. At the same time, the policy favors "car-free families" by giving them significantly higher chances of winning the lottery for ordinary indicators and a larger quota for new energy indicators compared to individuals, prioritizing the car ownership needs of "car-free families." This is the most important aspect of the policy adjustment. Increased indicators: The schedule for indicator applications and allocations has been adjusted. Instead of six allocations per year, there will now be three allocations—May for new energy indicators, and June and December for ordinary indicators.
