MT tires are more suitable for off-road vehicles, with strong grip and off-road capabilities, while AT tires, also known as all-terrain tires, are suitable for use in more places. Tread Spacing AT stands for All-terrain, referring to tires designed for all-terrain use, suitable for various road conditions, and are the choice of most off-road enthusiasts. The characteristics of AT tires are that the tread patterns are more rugged compared to HT tires, and the spacing between the tread blocks is larger than that of HT tires, providing stronger grip on unpaved surfaces. Grip: MT tires are mud tires. These tires are specifically designed for off-road use, featuring exaggerated tread patterns and extremely strong grip. In contrast, AT tires do not have as strong a grip. When driving on muddy terrain, MT tires can quickly expel mud from the tread gaps, making it easy to navigate mountain roads and muddy paths. They are typically installed on off-road vehicles and are suitable for owners who enjoy extreme off-road driving.

What does the 9.00R20 tire mean?

9.00 represents the nominal section width of the tire in inches, which can be converted to millimeters. 20 indicates the nominal rim diameter, meaning the tire's rim size is 20 inches. Below is a detailed introduction about automotive tires: 1. Overview: Automotive tires are one of the crucial components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface. Together with the vehicle's suspension, they help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth operation. 2. Function: They ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; enhance the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability; bear the vehicle's weight. The significant role tires play in automobiles is increasingly being recognized by people.

What are the causes of severe diesel engine vibration?

Here are the reasons for severe diesel engine vibration: 1. Severe engine carbon buildup: The most common cause of car vibration is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start. In this situation, the engine can only start easily once the carbon deposits have absorbed enough gasoline to become saturated. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits is then drawn into the combustion chamber by the engine's vacuum suction, making the air-fuel mixture too rich. This fluctuation between lean and rich mixtures causes idle vibration after a cold start. 2. Unstable fuel pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the gaskets and spark plugs, but still notice body vibration at idle, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and malfunctioning of the intake pressure sensor can also cause body vibration.

How many times can you retake the second attempt for Subject 1?

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that on the day of the second retake for Subject 1, you can take the test twice. If you fail the first time, you can take a free second retake. If you still fail the second time, the Subject 1 test will be terminated, and you can only schedule another test after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject 1 is 90 points. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: During the test, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the test room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the test room. In the test room, the identity verification station will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a same-day retake. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the test will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five test attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be scheduled ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such term as Subject 4.
