To know the manufacturing date of a tire, follow these steps: 1. Locate a set of four numbers on the tire wall; 2. The first two digits represent the week of the year the tire was produced; 3. The last two digits indicate the year of production. Tires are circular elastic rubber products installed on metal rims, designed to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road, and ensure driving performance. Tire maintenance methods include: 1. Regularly check tire pressure; 2. Remove debris from tire treads; 3. Inspect tire wear and replace them promptly if necessary; 4. Perform tire rotation to ensure even wear across all four tires and prevent excessive wear.

I didn't know how to check the tire manufacturing date before either, until one time when my tire blew out and I realized how important this is. That time on the highway, the tire suddenly bulged, but luckily nothing serious happened. Later, the mechanic told me there's a numerical code on the tire sidewall, and you just need to look for the last four digits. For example, if you see 2321, it means the tire was manufactured in the 23rd week of 2021. Tires deteriorate over time, usually becoming dangerous after six or seven years, as the rubber can crack and cause blowouts. Now, every time I change tires, I check the date myself and even take a photo with my phone to avoid remembering it wrong. It's actually quite simple—just squat down and look at the tire sidewall; if the lighting is poor, use a flashlight to see clearly. This trick can save you a lot of money, preventing you from being overcharged by repair shops when they push for unnecessary new tires.

How many points will be deducted for a motorcycle driving on a zebra crossing?

Origin of zebra crossings: In the early 1950s, the British designed a striped pedestrian crossing on the streets, stipulating that pedestrians could only cross the street at these designated crossings.

Is it okay to mix a little bit of engine oil in a motorcycle?

It is not advisable to mix different types of engine oil in a motorcycle. Here are specific details about mixing engine oils: Reasons: Different types of oils contain different chemical substances. Mixing them may lead to accidents and poses significant safety hazards. Therefore, mixing should be avoided as much as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to accurately assess the oil quality. Mixing Test: For oils with unknown characteristics and additive compositions, if mixing is indeed necessary, a mixing test should be conducted beforehand (for example, mixing two oils in a 1:1 volume ratio evenly) to observe whether there are any abnormal phenomena such as strange odors or sedimentation in the mixed oil. If strange odors or sedimentation are detected, the oils should not be mixed. After mixing, it is advisable to measure the main physical and chemical properties of the lubricating oil.
