Winter tires can be used for 5 years, taking into account the factor of rubber aging. The degree of tire aging is significantly influenced by objective factors such as storage environment, temperature, and placement. For winter tires older than 5 years, if they continue to be used, in addition to routine inspections and maintaining proper tire pressure, they should be checked annually to determine if they can still be safely used. If the tire wears down to the 1.6 mm tread wear indicator, it means the tire needs to be replaced. Winter tires are specifically designed for snowy conditions in winter, so when driven under other climate conditions, they will differ from regular all-season tires in terms of comfort, handling, noise, and other aspects. Therefore, when the weather warms up in spring, it is advisable to switch back to all-season tires and store the winter tires properly.

What Insurance Must Be Purchased for a New Car?

New cars must purchase the following insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is mandatory by national regulations. Without it, the vehicle cannot legally be driven on the road. The main purpose of compulsory traffic insurance is to compensate the other party in the event of a traffic accident. Owners can also purchase it at the 4S store where they buy the car. 2. Non-Deductible Insurance: This is an additional insurance attached to other commercial insurance policies. Under normal circumstances, when the insured vehicle is involved in a traffic accident, the insurance company does not cover 100% of the compensation. Most commercial insurance policies have a deductible portion, typically ranging from 15% to 30%. If the owner does not purchase non-deductible insurance, they may need to bear the deductible portion themselves. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This insurance primarily protects the owner's vehicle and is purchased based on the car's value. Generally, the higher the car's price, the higher the cost of vehicle damage insurance. 4. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Whether it's a new car or one that has been used for some time, it is recommended that owners purchase third-party liability insurance. This insurance is also used to compensate others. It is advisable to purchase third-party liability insurance with coverage between 200,000 and 500,000. In the event of an accident, compulsory traffic insurance is used first for compensation, and any amount exceeding that is covered by third-party liability insurance. 5. Scratch Insurance: It is recommended to purchase scratch insurance for new cars, especially for novice drivers who may inevitably experience minor scratches and bumps. Purchasing scratch insurance provides better protection.

What are the consequences of driving quickly through flooded roads?

If the water reaches the height of the vehicle's air intake, it can directly cause the engine to stall. If an attempt is made to restart the engine, water may enter from the air filter to the intake pipe and then into the engine combustion chamber. The extent of water entering the engine depends on the water level and the force of impact at that time. Precautions for driving through flooded roads are as follows: Precaution 1: When driving through flooded roads, it is important to slow down to prevent the vehicle from skidding during turns. Precaution 2: When passing through flooded roads, observe the depth of the water to prevent water from entering the vehicle's chassis, which could render the vehicle undrivable.
