When purchasing tires, the considerations include: 1. Understanding the suitable tire type for your vehicle; 2. Knowing the tire size of your car, which can be found marked on the side of the tire; 3. Checking whether the tires you are buying are retreaded, and paying attention to the production date of the tires. The functions of tires are: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load of the car; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Reducing and absorbing the vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; 4. Adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reducing driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy.

What is the Difference Between Stock Cars and New Cars?

Here are the specific differences between stock cars and new cars: 1. Concept: Stock cars are a term used in the automotive sales industry, referring to vehicles that have been in inventory for a long time after leaving the factory without being sold. Typically, cars that have been in stock for more than three months or over half a year are considered stock cars; new cars generally have a factory date of no more than two months. 2. Vehicle Condition: After leaving the factory, various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires in stock cars may deteriorate due to prolonged storage without periodic inspection and maintenance, leading to issues like moisture damage and aging; new cars are in good condition.

What is the sponge inside the tire?

The sponge inside the tire is called "internal soundproofing foam." Its functions are as follows: 1. Noise isolation: It blocks external sounds to achieve the effect, such as noise from passing vehicles nearby. It minimizes sound reflection and reduces noise transmission to the ears by converting sound energy into heat through friction with the air in the material when sound waves enter. Its primary role is to absorb and reduce noise generated by internal vibrations. 2. Temperature isolation: It can block temperature transfer. The sponge helps maintain the cool air inside the tire from being affected by the heat from the engine compartment, thereby preserving the air conditioning effect.

Why does the vehicle have high idle speed during cold start in summer?

Reasons for high idle speed during cold start in summer: It is normal for a car to have high idle speed upon starting in summer, which then decreases after a while. This is a protective measure by the car for the engine, aimed at improving combustion efficiency and meeting emission standards. The extent of this phenomenon varies depending on the climate and temperature. The normal operating water temperature of an engine is around 90 degrees. In extremely low temperatures, after the engine starts, the water temperature sensor sends a signal to the ECU, prompting the engine to increase fuel injection and air intake, thereby raising the engine speed to quickly reach the normal operating temperature. As the engine temperature gradually rises, the idle speed will also gradually decrease to the normal state.

What do the PRNDL gears on an automatic transmission car mean?

In an automatic transmission car, P stands for Park, R stands for Reverse, N stands for Neutral, D stands for Drive, and L stands for Low gear. Below is a detailed introduction to the car gears: 1. P gear is used when parking. 2. R gear is used when reversing. 3. N gear is used for temporary stops, such as waiting at a traffic light. 4. D gear is used for normal forward driving, eliminating the need to constantly press the clutch and shift gears like in a manual transmission car. Simply shift to D gear when driving an automatic car. 5. L gear is used when climbing steep slopes or descending slopes, equivalent to the 1st gear in a manual transmission car.

Does Mixing Two Types of Engine Oil Affect the Engine?

Mixing two types of engine oil for a long time can affect the engine. Here are the specific details about car refueling: 1. Gasoline grade explanation: Although high-grade gasoline has better anti-knock performance and power, vehicles designed for low-grade gasoline should not blindly use high-grade gasoline. Higher grades are more suitable for engines with larger compression ratios, while engines designed for low-grade gasoline usually have smaller compression ratios. Using high-grade gasoline may increase knocking in the engine. 2. Avoid mixing: Different grades of gasoline should not be mixed, such as mixing 98 and 95 gasoline. Long-term use may have certain effects on the engine, and may even lead to phenomena such as engine carbon deposits and increased fuel consumption.

Symptoms of a Broken Transmission Differential?

Symptoms of a damaged transmission differential are as follows: 1. Severe abnormal noise during sudden acceleration or rapid acceleration. 2. Noticeable jerking or impact during starting, acceleration, or deceleration. 3. Excessive resistance when turning and significant tire wear. Solution for a damaged transmission differential: Contact a 4S shop as soon as possible for professional inspection and repair by a technician. Additional information about the differential: 1. The differential generally comes with a differential lock, designed to allow the front and rear wheels or two front/rear wheels to receive the same driving force. 2. The function of the differential lock is to lock the differential mechanism, preventing relative movement and ensuring both wheels rotate at the same speed.
