The characteristics of Michelin tires are as follows: Green Pursuit: Michelin, an environmentally friendly company, is renowned for its fuel-efficient tires and holds a leading position as the world's largest tire manufacturer. Wet Performance: Interconnected longitudinal and lateral grooves enhance drainage efficiency, delivering outstanding wet grip. Vibration Absorption: A new advanced rubber compound formula provides superior vibration absorption, while varying tread block sizes ensure a more comfortable ride. Excellent Stability: An optimized bead area design and larger rubber contact area distribute pressure more evenly, resulting in better stability. Sufficient Grip: Wide tread blocks and stabilizing ribs on the outer shoulder minimize tread deformation during high-speed cornering, while four longitudinal grooves quickly expel water to maintain adequate grip. For daily use of Michelin tires, pay attention to the following points: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. As tires wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. Worn-out treads lose their water drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing vehicle performance. Small cracks may also pose a risk of blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may degrade rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires may overheat, increasing air pressure. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air pressure or splash water to cool them, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging against the road surface.

I've been using Michelin tires for several years and have driven many long distances. I've found their grip to be exceptionally strong, especially on wet and slippery roads during rainy days. The braking is stable, reducing the risk of skidding, and the high safety performance is reassuring. On dry roads, the handling is also very responsive, with precise steering and quick, non-lagging responses. The tires are particularly fuel-efficient due to their low rolling resistance, saving some money on fuel per hundred kilometers, which is wallet-friendly. They also excel in wear resistance; my tires have run tens of thousands of kilometers with even wear, reducing replacement costs. In terms of comfort, they perform well, minimizing bumps and noise, making it easy to chat in the car without shouting. Although the price is a bit higher, the long-term cost-performance ratio is excellent, making them suitable for frequent drivers who prioritize safety and economy. Regular checks on tire pressure can further enhance their performance.

As a daily commuter, I appreciate Michelin's comfort. The car stays quiet without noise, and going over speed bumps feels much smoother, allowing my child to sleep soundly in the back seat. The tires provide excellent grip, especially in stop-and-go city traffic, ensuring safe and confident cornering without any hesitation. They also have a long lifespan—even after two years of use, they remain in good condition, reducing the hassle of frequent replacements. Another highlight is their eco-friendly design, with recycled materials giving a green feel, and their fuel efficiency contributes to environmental protection. Though the price isn't cheap, it's worth it—offering peace of mind and convenience for family cars. Commuting becomes stress-free, unaffected by road conditions, and regular tire rotation further extends their lifespan.

What are the consequences of using semi-synthetic oil for a year?

Semi-synthetic oil will deteriorate after one year of use, which can damage the engine. Replacement cycle for semi-synthetic oil: In most Chinese cities, semi-synthetic oil can be replaced every 7,500 kilometers or 9 months. If there is too much dust in the air, the temperature is very low (-20 degrees Celsius), or the car is frequently driven short distances (each trip is less than 8 kilometers), it is recommended to increase the oil change frequency to 5,000 kilometers or every six months. Shelf life of semi-synthetic oil: National regulations clearly state that the shelf life of sealed oil is generally within 5 years, and semi-synthetic oil also falls within this range. However, once opened, semi-synthetic oil deteriorates more quickly and should ideally be used within six months. Of course, how quickly semi-synthetic oil deteriorates also depends on the storage environment—the greater the temperature fluctuations and humidity, the faster the oil will deteriorate.

What Causes the Car Display Screen to Suddenly Go Black?

There are several reasons why a car display screen may go black: DVD Operation Lag: If the DVD operation experiences lag, causing the car display screen to go black and become unresponsive to touch, restart the power supply of the car display screen; Software Incompatibility: Third-party software may be incompatible with the system. Check if any new software has been downloaded recently. A crash could be caused by unstable programs or insufficient memory. In this case, it is necessary to free up some memory and uninstall the relevant software; Screen Damage: Determine whether the screen is damaged, if there is an issue with the wiring, or if the crash is caused by the IC or motherboard. This is the most common scenario. If it is a hardware issue, the only solution is to take the car to a 4S shop for repair or to a repair shop for inspection.

Can a Bulging Tire Run 100 Kilometers?

A bulging tire cannot run 100 kilometers. The impacts and causes of tire bulging are as follows: Impacts of Tire Bulging: A bulging tire not only affects driving but also poses a serious risk of sudden blowout at any time, which is a major accident hazard for vehicle operation. Once a tire bulge is detected, it must be immediately inspected and replaced at a professional tire shop. Causes of Tire Bulging: Excessive tire pressure makes the tire too hard and reduces elasticity, increasing the risk of blowout upon external impact. Insufficient tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, making it prone to breakage of the tire cords when hitting hard objects. Therefore, tire bulging is not due to poor tire quality but is caused by uneven road surfaces and unstable tire pressure.

Does Audi Offer Free Roadside Assistance?

Audi's rescue service vehicles provide a 24-hour integrated rescue solution. With powerful professional equipment and a dedicated team, they offer various forms of assistance including towing, oil delivery, fuel delivery, and on-site emergency repairs, ensuring you receive swift and professional service when you need it most. Free Jump-Start Service: Free jump-starts are quite common. For instance, if a driver forgets to turn off the headlights overnight, the car battery may drain, leaving the vehicle unable to start the next day. In such cases, drivers can seek help from a 4S shop or repair shop, but they usually charge a fee. However, if the driver contacts their car insurance company, they typically offer free jump-start services, though there may be usage limits, so drivers should still try to conserve battery power. Free Fuel Delivery Service: Many absent-minded drivers often forget to check their fuel levels while driving. Running on low fuel can cause the car to stall unexpectedly, especially if there are no nearby gas stations, leading to frustration. In such situations, drivers don't need to panic. Simply calling their car insurance company will usually result in a fuel delivery within an hour, with the driver only needing to pay for the fuel itself.

What does 'Slow down, drive carefully, check tires' mean?

It means you should check the tire pressure. When aware of tire issues, the system automatically monitors tire pressure in real-time during driving and alerts for leaks or low pressure. The functions of the ABS system and tire pressure monitoring alarm are as follows: ABS System Introduction: This system compares the rotational speed differences between tires using the wheel speed sensors of the car's ABS system to monitor tire pressure. ABS determines whether a wheel is locking up through wheel speed sensors to decide if the anti-lock braking system should activate. When tire pressure decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the tire diameter to shrink, leading to changes in speed. These changes can trigger the alarm system to warn the driver. Function of Tire Pressure Monitoring Alarm: Prevents tire blowouts by monitoring tire pressure and temperature in real-time, addressing issues before they occur. Saves fuel by maintaining correct tire pressure, reducing vehicle fuel consumption. Reduces wear—insufficient pressure causes excessive wear (tire scrubbing), shortening tire lifespan.

How often should vehicles over 15 years old undergo inspection?

Vehicles over 15 years old require two inspections per year. Annual inspections can promptly identify any issues with the vehicle, allowing owners to stay informed about their vehicle's condition and carry out necessary repairs. After the revision of the motor vehicle scrappage policy, the usage lifespan restriction for private vehicles was removed, replaced by a guideline to scrap private vehicles after reaching 600,000 kilometers. However, if a private vehicle fails to obtain the relevant motor vehicle inspection certificate for three consecutive inspection cycles, it will also be subject to mandatory scrapping. Emissions Test: During the annual inspection, the vehicle's emissions will be tested for compliance, specifically focusing on the oxygen sensor and catalytic converter. Their optimal operating temperature ranges between 400 to 800 degrees Celsius, so it is recommended that owners warm up their vehicles in the external inspection area before the emissions test to increase the pass rate. Lighting Check: The vehicle management office will inspect the vehicle's lighting. If the vehicle's lights are found to be either too dim or too bright, it will be deemed unqualified and will not pass the annual inspection. It is advisable to restore the original headlights' condition before the inspection to ensure compliance.
