Driving a car without a spare tire is not illegal, as there are no relevant traffic laws that prohibit vehicles from being driven without a spare tire. Most cars: The majority of vehicles come equipped with a spare tire, usually only one. The spare tire is intended for emergency use only. Do not use the spare tire for an extended period, as it may damage the tire and even pose a safety risk. Types of spare tires: Spare tires can be categorized into full-size spare tires and compact spare tires. Full-size spare tires generally offer better stability compared to compact spare tires, as they have the same width as regular tires, whereas compact spare tires are narrower than standard tires.

How Long Does It Take for Car Paint to Dry Completely in Winter?

Car paint typically takes about 1-3 days to dry completely in winter. The drying time depends on the type of paint used, mainly divided into two categories: 1. If using solid color paint commonly used for trucks, it generally takes about three days to dry completely at 25°C, and there is a strong odor after drying. 2. If higher-grade metallic or pearl paint is used, it takes approximately 24 hours to dry completely at room temperature (25°C). Additional Information: Here is some information about automotive metallic paint: 1. Metallic paint refers to a room-temperature curing coating that contains fine metal particles in the paint base. It is currently a popular type of automotive topcoat. 2. Metallic paint is suitable for surface protection on metals, wood, plastics, and building exteriors. It can also be used as a topcoat protective decoration for epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic series, and other coatings.

Why does an automatic transmission car not move at idle and requires acceleration to move?

If an automatic transmission car does not move at idle without pressing the accelerator, there are two possible reasons: first, the throttle may be too dirty—check and clean the throttle (the throttle signal is the main control signal for the transmission); second, check if the transmission is too dirty, causing increased transmission resistance. Additional information: 1. Check the throttle: The car's throttle plays a crucial role. If the throttle is clogged, the vehicle's power will be affected. It is the key component that allows air to enter the engine, enabling gasoline and air to mix and burn efficiently. The cleanliness of the throttle directly determines the accuracy and smoothness of engine air intake. A dirty throttle can cause engine idle shaking, stalling, frequent jerking while driving, and significantly increased fuel consumption. Most importantly, it can damage the engine or even cause it to stop working. 2. Clean the throttle: There are two methods for cleaning the throttle—removal cleaning and non-removal cleaning. Removal cleaning involves taking it off and using a specialized cleaning agent, which is effective but more costly. Non-removal cleaning involves spraying a dedicated foam cleaner on the throttle, reducing disassembly time and avoiding damage to the vehicle.

Why Can't the BMW Z4 Convertible Top Open?

For older vehicles, aging parts may also cause the convertible top to malfunction. Solution: Lubricate or replace the convertible parts promptly. Additional information: As of November 2019, convertible cars on the market are divided into hardtop and soft-top convertibles, each with its pros and cons: 1. Hardtop Convertible: Hardtop convertibles have a more rigid roof structure, providing better safety in rollovers and improved aerodynamics when the top is closed. However, they have smaller trunk space, are heavier, and consume more fuel. 2. Soft-top Convertible: Soft-top convertibles have a simpler structure, are less prone to damage, and take up less trunk space. However, their roofs offer less support, which can compromise passenger safety in rollovers.
