Michelin PS4 is a run-flat tire. Here are specific details about Michelin PS4: Lifespan: Michelin tires generally have a lifespan of two years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Even if the vehicle is rarely used, the tires can still degrade, harden, and develop cracks, posing safety hazards during driving. Therefore, it is essential to replace them when reaching the specified time or mileage. Application: Michelin PS4 utilizes innovative elastomers and thin silicone in its new synthetic materials. Additionally, the tire features a novel asymmetric groove design, which not only reinforces the tread pattern but also provides excellent grip during vehicle cornering.

No, the Michelin PS4 is not a run-flat tire. I've been driving for over a decade and have used many tires. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is a summer tire focused on high performance and grip, suitable for sports cars or daily high-speed driving, but it doesn't have run-flat technology. Run-flat tires can continue driving for dozens of kilometers after a puncture, mainly relying on reinforced sidewalls. However, the PS4 is just a regular tire—if it blows out, you must stop immediately and change to the spare. I recommend that friends who enjoy long-distance travel pay more attention to labels, such as checking if there's an RF mark on the tire sidewall, or directly choosing Michelin's dedicated run-flat series like the Pilot Sport 4S Run On Flat, to avoid delays and ensure safety comes first!

What Causes Severe Car Shaking?

Reasons for severe car shaking: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits; 2. Problems with the ignition system; 3. Misalignment of the drive axle; 4. Uneven brake discs. If the car body shakes due to severe engine carbon deposits, the owner should promptly clean the fuel system and check whether the idle speed control valve has carbon deposits. If there is a problem with the ignition system, the spark plugs should be immediately checked for carbon deposits and replaced if necessary. For misaligned drive axles or uneven brake discs, it is recommended to seek repair at a professional automotive repair facility or 4S shop. Note that slight shaking during normal driving is a normal phenomenon.

How to Determine if the Turbocharger is Faulty?

Methods to determine if the turbocharger is faulty: 1. A faulty turbocharger will produce loud noises; it is recommended to check the turbocharger's valve or the engine. 2. There is no noticeable lack of power when pressing the accelerator. 3. The engine experiences incomplete combustion, resulting in strong exhaust odors. 4. Abnormal exhaust emissions from the vehicle. A turbocharger utilizes the inertial force of the exhaust gases expelled by the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber. The turbine, in turn, drives the coaxial impeller, which compresses and delivers air from the air filter pipe, pressurizing it before it enters the cylinder. The primary function of a turbocharger is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, making the vehicle more powerful. When a turbocharger is installed on an engine, its power can increase by up to forty percent compared to when it is not equipped with one.

Under What Circumstances Does a Vehicle Need a Wheel Alignment?

Circumstances under which a vehicle needs a wheel alignment: 1. When the vehicle has traveled 20,000 kilometers or one year, whichever comes first, a wheel alignment must be performed; 2. If you need to grip the steering wheel tightly to keep the vehicle from veering off course while driving straight on a flat road, a wheel alignment check is necessary; 3. If the vehicle feels unstable or floats during normal driving, similar to when turning or driving on rough roads, it is recommended to check and perform a wheel alignment; 4. If one side of the front or rear tires shows significant wear, a wheel alignment is also needed; 5. After installing new tires or following a collision, steering, or suspension system repair, it is advisable to perform a wheel alignment. Wheel alignment is based on the vehicle's four-wheel parameters and involves adjustments to ensure optimal driving performance and reliability.
