Genuine Michelin tires sold through authorized channels come with a certification label attached to the tire. The certification has a silver coating that can be scratched off as per the instructions. You can identify them by observing the tread pattern, color, and gloss. Inferior retreaded tires are processed irregularly, resulting in relatively shallow tread grooves. This is because there are tires in the market that are smuggled by being mounted on vehicles (directly installed on wheels to cross borders) or sold as new when they are actually old.

Can Car Shock Absorbers Be Replaced One by One?

Car shock absorbers cannot be replaced one by one; they need to be replaced together when damaged. Different models of car shock absorbers have varying parameters, and inconsistent specifications on both sides can lead to unbalanced vehicle sides during driving, affecting driving safety. The function of shock absorbers: to mitigate road impacts, absorb vibrations generated during bumps, and restore the vehicle to normal driving conditions. The working principle of shock absorbers: when relative motion occurs between the frame or body and the axle due to vibrations, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down. The oil in the shock absorber cavity repeatedly flows from one cavity to another through different pores. The friction between the pore walls and the oil, as well as the internal friction between oil molecules, creates a damping force that converts the vehicle's vibration energy into thermal energy of the oil, which is then absorbed and dissipated into the air by the shock absorber.

What are the new driving license test regulations?

2021 new driving test regulations are as follows: 1. Test subject adjustment: For small automatic transmission vehicles, the "slope fixed-point parking and starting" item in Subject 2 test is canceled, reducing the test content from the original 5 items to 4 items. This change aims to better align with actual driving requirements and reduce the test burden for candidates. 2. Test scheduling adjustment: For obtaining a small automatic transmission vehicle driving license, the interval between Subject 1 pass and Subject 3 test scheduling is shortened from 30 days to 20 days; For those upgrading to medium/large passenger or truck licenses, this interval is shortened from 40 days to 30 days. 3. Cross-region subject test adjustment: For small vehicle license applicants, the number of permitted test location changes is increased from 1 time to no more than 3 times, meeting the demand for cross-region testing.

What Causes an Automatic Transmission Car to Suddenly Stall While Driving?

Automatic transmission cars suddenly stalling while driving is caused by poor engine performance. Here are specific details about poor engine performance: 1. Response: In case of encountering this situation, the owner should first stay calm and quickly observe the surrounding traffic conditions. If the traffic conditions and circumstances permit, one can attempt to restart the engine without stopping the car. Since automatic transmission cars are equipped with a neutral safety switch, the vehicle can only be started in P (Park) or N (Neutral) gear. At this point, the vehicle is still coasting by inertia, so it is crucial not to shift the gear lever directly into P gear, but one can first shift into N gear. 2. Risk: Restarting an automatic transmission vehicle after stalling mid-drive carries certain risks. It requires the owner to be quite familiar with the vehicle's operations. If excessive force is accidentally applied and the gear lever is pushed directly into R (Reverse) gear, it can cause significant damage to the transmission.

How Many Kilometers Should a Car's Belt Be Replaced?

Generally, a car's belt should be replaced after traveling 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Here are the specific details about the timing belt: 1. Replacement based on specified mileage: The timing belt is a consumable item, and once it breaks, the camshaft will not operate according to the timing, which can very likely cause the valves to collide with the pistons, resulting in severe damage. Therefore, the timing belt must be replaced according to the mileage or time specified by the manufacturer. 2. Function of the timing belt: During the operation of a car engine, the four processes of intake, compression, explosion, and exhaust continuously occur in the cylinder, and the timing of each step must be coordinated with the movement state and position of the pistons to ensure that the intake, exhaust, and piston movements are synchronized. The timing belt, driven by the crankshaft, transmits power to the corresponding components.

Can a vehicle pass inspection with different tire tread patterns?

Can a vehicle pass inspection with different tire tread patterns? Yes, but the left and right tires must have the same tread pattern. Here are specific methods for tire maintenance: 1. Regularly check tire pressure: Tire pressure is a crucial factor affecting tire lifespan. It should not be too high or too low; inflate according to the vehicle's indicated pressure. In summer, try to keep the pressure slightly lower; in winter, ensure tires have slightly more air than in summer due to thermal expansion and contraction. 2. Inspect wear conditions: Some vehicles may experience uneven tire wear, so frequently check the inner side of tires for abnormal wear, focusing on whether tread depth is consistent on both sides. 3. Remove foreign objects promptly: Debris in tire treads poses potential hazards and may eject during driving. 4. Perform wheel alignment regularly: When the vehicle pulls to one side or exhibits abnormal steering, align the tires promptly to prevent further issues. Wheel alignment ensures even force distribution across all four tires, avoiding excessive wear.
