Is Wheel Balancing Necessary When Replacing Tires?

Wheel balancing is required when replacing tires. Below is a partial introduction about tire replacement: 1. Wheel Composition: A wheel consists of two parts - the tire and the rim. Due to manufacturing processes, the mass distribution of each component cannot be completely uniform. When the vehicle travels at high speeds, the rapid rotation of the wheels creates dynamic imbalance, causing body and steering wheel vibrations. 2. Solution: To address this issue, wheel balancing is performed under dynamic conditions by adding counterweights to correct the balance of each edge portion of the wheel. This is the purpose and function of dynamic balancing. If the wear condition is normal, the tires can continue to be used.

Was the Biannual Inspection for Small Cars Cancelled in 2020?

In 2020, the biannual inspection for small cars was not cancelled. The specific regulations for vehicle annual inspection periods are as follows: 1. For passenger transport vehicles, inspection is required once a year within the first 5 years, and every 6 months thereafter; 2. For cargo vehicles and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles, inspection is required once a year within the first 10 years, and every 6 months thereafter; 3. For small and mini non-passenger transport vehicles, inspection is required once every 2 years within the first 6 years, once a year after 6 years, and every 6 months after 15 years; 4. For motorcycles, inspection is required once every 2 years within the first 4 years, and once a year thereafter; 5. For tractors and other motor vehicles, inspection is required once a year. If a commercial vehicle passes the safety technical inspection within the stipulated inspection period, it does not need to undergo repeated safety technical inspections; 6. Vehicles that exceed the scrapping age cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can continue to be used. For transactions, the vehicle owner can first obtain the vehicle's scrapping certificate from the vehicle management office before proceeding with the sale or purchase.

What are the consequences of a motorcycle running out of engine oil?

Running a motorcycle without engine oil can lead to engine overheating or cylinder scoring. If cylinder scoring occurs, repairs will be necessary. Engine oil is often referred to as the lifeblood of an engine, playing a crucial role in its operation. Without oil, the engine cannot function properly. Functions of motorcycle engine oil: 1. Lubrication and friction reduction: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing shells. To prevent excessive wear on parts, an oil film must be established between these sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. 2. Cooling: Engine oil carries heat back to the oil tank, where it is then dissipated into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine. 3. Cleaning: High-quality engine oil can carry away carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine components through circulation, returning them to the oil tank. The flow of lubricating oil helps to clean contaminants generated on the working surfaces of the parts.

Is it necessary to warm up the car in summer?

It is necessary to warm up the car in summer. The following are the relevant introductions about warming up the car: 1. Reasons: (1) After the car has been parked for a long time, the engine oil flows back to the bottom of the engine, leaving the upper part without oil and lacking lubrication. (2) Before the engine reaches its operating temperature, the fuel supply system cannot effectively vaporize gasoline completely due to the low temperature. (3) When the car is cold, the gear oil flows to the lower part of the transmission. Only when driving, the gear oil at the bottom is brought up by the rotation of the gears to lubricate the upper part. 2. Method: After starting the car, wait for 30 seconds to one minute before driving. During this time, avoid driving at high RPMs and maintain a low speed, with the engine RPM generally kept at 2000.

Which company produces ETC?

ETC is not a manufactured product; ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection system. Here are the relevant details: 1. ETC Dedicated Lane: The ETC dedicated lane is designed for vehicles equipped with an ETC onboard unit, utilizing electronic toll collection. It operates through dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle's windshield-mounted electronic tag and the microwave antenna installed at the toll station's ETC lane. 2. Principle: It employs computer networking technology to conduct backend settlement processing with banks, enabling vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping when passing through toll stations.

Will spray paint corrode the original car paint?

Spray paint does not corrode the original car paint, but it may cause 'paint lifting,' resulting in irregular patterns. Here is some relevant information about spray paint: 1. Introduction: Spray paint, also known as aerosol paint, typically consists of an aerosol can, aerosol valve, contents (paint), and propellant. It is paint that has been specially treated and pressurized for easy spraying, also referred to as manual spray paint. 2. Uses: Spray paint has a wide range of applications. With recent economic development, its uses have expanded from initially repairing paint flaws to molds, industrial machinery, toys, crafts, musical instruments, buildings, steel structures, advertising and promotional industries, signage, graffiti, and more. It is even used in less industrialized areas like grasslands and pastoral regions, where spray paint colors are reportedly used to distinguish livestock herds among different breeders.
