SUV tires generally need to be replaced every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Tires should be replaced under the following circumstances: 1. Tire wear: Tires have tread wear indicators, which are slightly raised marks located at the bottom of the tread grooves, with a height of 1.6 mm (the legal minimum groove depth). If the tread rubber blocks wear down to the same height as these raised marks, the tires should be replaced immediately, as continuing to drive is no longer safe. 2. Tire damage: Hitting curbs, falling into potholes, or punctures from nails can severely damage tires. Damaged tires may be repairable, but only a professional repair shop can accurately determine whether the tire can be repaired or needs to be replaced. Generally, sidewall damage cannot be repaired, and for safety reasons, the tire must be replaced. 3. Tire aging: If the tread shows deformation or obvious cracks, stop using the tires immediately and have them inspected by a professional repair shop to determine if they can continue to be used. 4. Tire bulging: Bulging tires are a high-risk factor for blowouts, especially on highways, which is very dangerous. Tires with bulges should be replaced promptly.

When driving an SUV, I pay special attention to tire safety, especially since high-speed driving can be risky. From personal experience, SUV tire lifespan is affected by multiple factors, and you should consider replacing them after 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers—but this is just a basic reference. I prefer checking tread depth every 5,000 kilometers—if it’s below 1.6mm or shows cracks, replace them immediately. SUVs are heavier and often carry loads, so tires wear out faster than those on sedans, especially when driving on muddy mountain roads. I usually avoid sudden acceleration and braking to ensure even tread wear, which can extend tire life. But don’t skimp and delay replacement too long—a blowout or skid could lead to accidents and injuries. If you frequently go on long road trips, replacing tires in advance is safer and more reliable. In short, don’t just rely on mileage—regular manual visual checks are more dependable than the odometer.

Why does the Cruze's fan keep running when the water temperature is not high?

The reason is a faulty thermostat. Below is an introduction to the thermostat: 1. Definition: The car thermostat is a valve that controls the flow path of the engine coolant. 2. Function: The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature to ensure the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range, which can help save energy. 3. Impact: The thermostat must maintain good working condition; otherwise, it will severely affect the normal operation of the engine. For example, if the main valve of the thermostat opens too late or fails to open, it will cause the engine to overheat. If it opens too early, the engine's warm-up time will be prolonged, resulting in the engine temperature being too low.
