Drum brakes typically require brake pad replacement every 60,000 to 70,000 kilometers. Since each driver's braking frequency varies, it's essential to check the wear level of the brake pads during routine inspections. If they reach the critical point, immediate replacement is necessary. When choosing replacement brake pads, opt for high-quality ones, preferably original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Drum brakes function by using stationary brake shoes inside the brake drum to rub against the rotating drum, creating friction that slows down the wheel's rotation. When the brake pedal is pressed, the force applied causes the piston in the master cylinder to push brake fluid forward, generating pressure in the hydraulic system.

What are the types of tires?

Tires can be classified by structure: bias-ply tires and radial tires. They can also be classified by tread patterns: ribbed tread, transverse tread, mixed tread, and off-road tread. Additionally, they can be categorized by vehicle type and size. Tires classified by vehicle type can be divided into 8 categories: PC (passenger car tires), LT (light truck tires), TB (truck and bus tires), AG (agricultural vehicle tires), OTR (off-the-road tires), ID (industrial vehicle tires), AC (aircraft tires), and MC (motorcycle tires). Bias-ply tires have crisscrossed cord layers, characterized by strong tread and sidewall strength, but the sidewalls are relatively stiff, and the cord layers can shift and rub during high-speed driving, making them unsuitable for high-speed use. With continuous improvements in radial tires, bias-ply tires are being phased out. The cord layers of radial tires serve as the basic framework of the tire, with their arrangement direction aligned with the tire's radial cross-section. Since tires endure significant tangential forces during driving, to ensure cord stability, there are additional layers of high-strength, non-stretchable material called the belt or reinforcement layer on the outside. Size classification: Full-size spare tire: A full-size spare tire has the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle, allowing it to replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Non-full-size spare tire: This type of spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, making it suitable only for temporary replacement. It can only be used on non-driving wheels, and the maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h.
