What are the differences between ENERGY-XM2 and PRIMACY3-ST?

ENERGY-XM2 and PRIMACY3-ST differ in positioning, nature, and characteristics. Different positioning: If you prioritize tire wear resistance and frequently drive on complex road conditions, it is recommended to choose the ENERGY-XM2 tread pattern. If you have high requirements for low noise, comfort, and also consider some handling performance, it is recommended to choose the PRIMACY3-ST tread pattern. Different nature: Michelin ENERGY-XM2 tires are suitable for most joint-venture and domestic brand small cars, compact, mid-size, and large sedans, as well as urban SUVs. The tire width ranges from 175-235, the aspect ratio is 55-70, the inner diameter is 13-16 inches, and the maximum speed is 240 km/h. Michelin PRIMACY3-ST tires focus on safety and quietness, incorporating many Michelin-exclusive technologies. Different characteristics: Michelin PRIMACY3-ST tires adopt traditional four longitudinal main grooves with moderate depth, which provides excellent drainage and grip performance. The outer shoulder area of the ENERGY-XM2 tires features wide tread blocks and stabilizing rib designs to minimize tread pattern deformation during high-speed cornering, while the four longitudinal grooves quickly drain water to ensure sufficient grip on the tread.

Can aftermarket large rims installed at a 4S shop be registered for license plates?

No, they cannot. The vehicle registration certificate does not indicate this, but it is noted in the green book (vehicle license). Below is relevant information about car rims: 1. Concept: The hub is the central part of the wheel where the axle is installed, commonly referred to as the "rim" or "steel ring". Rims are prone to accumulating dirt, and if not cleaned for a long time, they may corrode or deform, posing safety hazards. Therefore, special attention should be paid to rim maintenance. 2. Classification: Rims on the market can be categorized into steel rims and alloy rims based on material. Alloy materials have thermal conductivity approximately three times that of steel, offering better heat dissipation, which can help mitigate heat degradation in a vehicle's braking system, tires, and braking components.

Which Gear to Start with in a Manual Transmission?

Start with 1st gear in a manual transmission. Starting in 1st gear causes the least damage to the car. Speed ranges: 1st gear corresponds to speeds of 0-5 km/h. 2nd gear corresponds to speeds of 5-20 km/h, 3rd gear to 20-40 km/h, 4th gear to 40-60 km/h, and 5th gear to 60-100 km/h. Shifting timing: Generally, the optimal time to shift gears is when the engine reaches 2000 rpm, and it should not exceed 2500 rpm. For some high-displacement, high-power engines, shifting around 3000 rpm is acceptable. Starting in 2nd gear depends on the situation: For example, in snowy conditions, muddy roads, or when going downhill, starting in 2nd gear is necessary. In these conditions, the car's power significantly exceeds the friction between the tires and the road surface. Starting in 1st gear with a powerful engine on snow can cause wheel spin with just a slight press on the accelerator. Therefore, reducing power output by starting in 2nd gear can minimize wheel spin and allow for a quicker start, as the slippery surface reduces engine load.

Is it normal to feel dizzy after applying new car window film?

Feeling dizzy after applying new car window film is not normal and is usually caused by poor-quality film provided by the service provider. The main issue is uneven thickness across different areas of the film, making it act like a convex or concave lens. Such film refracts light in a way that conflicts with the driver's myopia or hyperopia, leading to dizziness and nausea. Here are some post-application precautions: 1. Avoid rolling windows: Do not roll down car windows for one week after application. Typically, car window film takes 5-7 days to fully adhere to the glass. During this period, minimize window operation to prevent film displacement. 2. Avoid wiping: Do not wipe the film for one week after application. Newly applied film often develops fogging, which is a normal drying process phenomenon. This condition usually lasts 1-2 weeks until the fog disappears naturally - do not attempt to wipe it away. 3. Avoid sharp objects: Never use sharp or rough tools to scrape the film after application. Such contact would significantly reduce the film's light transmittance.

Do I Need to Replace Tires After 5 Years and 30,000 Kilometers?

According to the mileage, tires do not need to be replaced at 30,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Tire Introduction: Tires are the only components of a car that come into contact with the ground. Some car owners only replace the tires on the drive wheels when changing tires. For example, some front-wheel-drive car owners only replace the two front tires, while some rear-wheel-drive car owners only replace the two rear tires. In fact, this practice is acceptable. 2. Tire Aging: Tires are rubber products and will age over time. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage within those four years is relatively low. This is because tires can also age when left unused for extended periods, so it is important to check the production date when purchasing tires.

How wide does a 4.7-meter sedan need for a 90-degree turn?

The width of a one-way road should not be less than 3.5 meters. Below is relevant information about right-angle turns: 1. Overview: A right-angle turn is an assessment point in Subject 2 of the driver's test, evaluating the driver's ability to correctly operate the steering and accurately judge the inner and outer wheel differences when driving through abrupt road changes. Engage first gear, release the handbrake, slowly lift the clutch to maintain semi-linkage and move forward at a steady speed. Keep the left wiper's left dot (the first rivet) on the car aligned with the yellow line on the right edge of the road at a 20 cm distance while moving forward. Then, focus on a point slightly ahead of the middle door lock on the left front door of the car. 2. Deduction points: If the wheels touch the protruding point, it results in failure; each time the wheels touch the road edge line, 20 points are deducted; if reversing is used to complete the task, 10 points are deducted; failure to use the turn signal or incorrect use of the turn signal results in a 10-point deduction.

What does 4*4 mean?

4*4 indicates that the vehicle has 4 wheels, all of which are drive wheels. Here is some information about four-wheel drive vehicles: 1. Definition: A four-wheel drive vehicle is one with front and rear differential-linked four-wheel drive. Since the engine power is transmitted to all four tires, all four wheels can provide traction. In a regular two-wheel drive vehicle, if one of the drive wheels slips, the other drive wheel will also lose power. 2. Drive Configuration: Drive configuration refers to the arrangement of the engine and the number and position of the drive wheels. Most vehicles have two rows of wheels, front and rear. The wheels that are directly driven by the engine to propel (or pull) the vehicle forward are the drive wheels. The most basic classification is based on the number of drive wheels, which can be divided into two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.
