It is better to go to a 4S shop. The quality of tires at outside auto repair shops varies greatly. If you want to replace them outside, you must go to a professional tire brand store. However, these concerns are generally unnecessary when changing tires at a 4S shop, as they provide warranties for the replaced parts. 4S shops usually offer one-stop services, and the service level for tire replacement is generally higher than outside shops. Below is some relevant information about tire replacement: 1. After tire disassembly and installation, a balancing machine must be used to test the balance of the tire and wheel hub during movement to ensure smooth driving. 2. When replacing tires, the valve stem should also be replaced. The valve stem is a rubber component that gradually deteriorates over time and under environmental influences, posing potential safety hazards. 3. Regularly check tire pressure, as both underinflation and overinflation can lead to the risk of tire blowouts. 4. After tire replacement, a four-wheel alignment should be performed to ensure the car maintains stable straight-line driving and easy steering while minimizing tire wear.

What are the reasons for having power but failing to start the engine?

Reasons for having power but failing to start the engine: 1. Insufficient fuel causing failure to start. It is recommended that drivers always pay attention to the fuel gauge while driving and refuel in time when approaching the warning level, rather than waiting until the tank is empty; 2. Incorrect gear position can also prevent the car from starting. Generally, the P (Park) or N (Neutral) gear is the correct position for starting an automatic transmission vehicle; 3. Fuel system malfunction, which may occur in components such as fuel pump failure, blocked fuel lines, clogged fuel filter, spark plug carbon buildup, or damaged fuel injectors. Having power in a car refers to the car battery having power, also known as a storage battery, which is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy.

Where are seat belts mainly used?

Seat belts are safety components used on equipment, such as when riding aircraft like airplanes, or in vehicles, high-altitude work, and performance arts to ensure safety. A seat belt does not only refer to the webbing; besides the webbing, seat belts also consist of other assembled components. Depending on the usage conditions, seat belts can be divided into the following three categories: 1. Pole work seat belts: These secure the human body near a fixed structure by wrapping a rope or belt around it, allowing the worker's hands to perform other operations. 2. Area restriction seat belts: These limit the worker's range of movement to prevent them from reaching areas where falls may occur. 3. Fall arrest seat belts: These are used to suspend workers in the event of a fall during high-altitude work or climbing.

Where to Check the Number of Tire Plies?

Tire ply ratings can be found in the sidewall specifications, such as 6PR, 8PR, 10PR, etc. The corresponding relationships for automotive tire ply rating codes are: A represents 2 plies, B represents 4 plies, C represents 6 plies, D represents 8 plies, E represents 10 plies, F represents 12 plies, G represents 14 plies, H represents 16 plies, J represents 18 plies, L represents 20 plies, M represents 22 plies, N represents 24 plies. The number of tire plies refers to the rubber layers in automotive tires, later also expressed as ply ratings. However, ply ratings don't completely indicate the actual number of layers - for example, a 2-ply rated tire may actually contain up to 14 layers.

Why is the clutch of the test car particularly high?

When the clutch is high, the gears separate faster, allowing for earlier gear shifting, which makes acceleration operations more seamless. To quickly adapt to the height of the test car's clutch, the method is to engage first gear and gradually release the clutch to get used to the pedal's varying height while ensuring no stalling or rolling. Here are some clutch control techniques: The general approach to the clutch is "fast, slow, fast" or "fast, pause, slow." This is because initially releasing the clutch involves the engagement part between the clutch and the engine, which can be done quickly. However, when reaching the clutch point, it needs to be slower or paused briefly to ensure full engagement. After passing the engagement point, the clutch can be released at a speed that is either fast or slow, depending on personal preference.
