Most car tire models are marked as 215/70R15, where the meaning is: 215 indicates the tread width, measured in millimeters. Additional information about car tires is as follows: 1. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle. They directly contact the road surface and, together with the car's suspension, help to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. 2. Car tires, including the spare tire, should be inspected monthly. 3. The function of tires is to support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions.

What is a Divided Road Lane?

Divided lanes refer to highways where the left and right traffic lanes are constructed separately, including roads with unevenly wide central dividers and those with uneven heights between left and right traffic lanes. Below are some precautions for car driving: 1. Cold engine warm-up: Proper warm-up helps form an "oil film" between engine components, reducing wear. 2. Timely gear shifting: During the break-in period of manual transmission vehicles, shift gears promptly and appropriately to avoid incorrect behaviors like high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM, and avoid prolonged use of a single gear. 3. Timely maintenance: Simply follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle manual, and perform timely inspections and maintenance, such as changing engine oil and oil filters, and thoroughly checking the chassis system after reaching certain mileage or time. 4. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the vehicle's chassis and engine.

Can I register a new car if my old car has not been scrapped?

If your old car has not been scrapped, you cannot register a new car. The main purpose of this regulation is to strengthen the supervision of vehicles to prevent accidents. There are four criteria for mandatory scrapping: 1. The vehicle has reached the prescribed service life. 2. After repair and adjustment, the vehicle still does not meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles. 3. After repair, adjustment, or the adoption of control technologies, the vehicle's emissions or noise still do not meet national standards for in-use vehicles. 4. The vehicle has not obtained an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection period. Vehicle scrapping process: 1. The owner of the vehicle applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out and stamp the "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping." 2. Apply at the registration and acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age but are deemed to meet scrapping standards after inspection, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will also be issued. 3. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice." 4. The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice." The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. 5. The owner must submit the "Modification Form," "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form," "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate," and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plate and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations.

What is the speed range corresponding to manual transmission gears?

The speed range for first gear is 0 to 10 mph, second gear is 10 to 20 mph, third gear is 20 to 40 mph, and fourth gear is 40 to 60 mph. Below is some related information about gear positions: Straight-line gear positions are easy to engage: This gear position design is very common, and many automatic transmission models from various brands currently use this type. The advantage of this straight-line gear position design is that shifting is relatively straightforward, while the disadvantage is that it's easy to engage the wrong gear when operating blindly. Stepped gear positions are harder to engage: Stepped gear positions, also known as serpentine gear positions, are another very common design for automatic transmission gear positions. Their advantages and disadvantages are exactly the opposite of straight-line gear positions. The advantage is that it's harder to engage the wrong gear, while the disadvantage is that the operation is not as direct as with straight-line gear positions.

What is the optimal angle for adjusting the exterior rearview mirrors?

Here are the detailed instructions for adjusting the optimal angle of a car's exterior rearview mirrors: 1. Left rearview mirror angle: The best adjustment angle for the left rearview mirror is when the road environment occupies most of the mirror surface, with only 1/4 of the car body visible, and the vanishing point of the road is positioned in the center of the mirror. 2. Right rearview mirror angle: Similarly, the optimal adjustment angle for the right rearview mirror is when the road environment occupies most of the mirror surface. Since the right rearview mirror is farther from the driver's line of sight, to maximize visibility of the road environment, the vanishing point of the road can be positioned towards the top of the mirror. Additionally, only 1/4 of the car body should be visible.
