Tires with surface cracks should be replaced promptly. Here are some relevant details about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There are triangular marks on the sidewall of the tire; when the wear reaches the point indicated by the triangle, replacement is recommended. There are also raised markers inside the tread grooves; when the wear reaches these raised markers at the tire surface, it's time to replace the tire. Simple punctures can be repaired without needing replacement. However, bulges must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, and oxidized rubber hardens, reducing traction. Therefore, even if a set of tires is not used, its lifespan will decrease. The maximum recommended usage time for tires should not exceed 5 years from the production date. The production date can be found on the sidewall of the tire.

Why does the car move backward when in drive gear?

Because the engine's power and the reverse motion resistance of the transmission shaft are absorbed by the torque converter. Here are the specific details of related content: 1. Possible causes: It may be caused by a faulty transmission gear position sensor, valve body failure, or shift mechanism malfunction. Essentially, rolling backward on a slope means the car doesn't have enough power to climb, causing it to roll back. Alternatively, if the car is heavily loaded, the resistance might exceed the engine's output power. 2. Solutions: Automatic transmissions usually have a delay of more than 1 second! After shifting into drive gear, do not release the brake immediately, and the car won't roll backward. When rolling occurs, the correct approach is to brake promptly. If equipped with a hill-start assist system, wait for the system to function properly before starting again.
