The difference in tire tread patterns leads to varying degrees of wear during driving. The effects of having different tread patterns on the left and right rear tires are as follows: 1. It affects the tires themselves and can also cause inconsistent braking resistance, keeping systems like anti-skid continuously active, which can significantly damage the vehicle. 2. When the car needs to brake suddenly at high speed, the difference in tires may cause uneven force distribution, potentially leading to traffic accidents. 3. If conditions permit, it is best to use tires of the same specification, structure, manufacturer, and tread pattern (load index, speed rating) for all four tires. Proper rotation can help maintain a consistent wear rate, ensuring uniform performance across all tires. 4. If for some reason only the front and rear tires are of different brands and tread patterns, it is acceptable, but the same specification, structure, manufacturer, and tread pattern (load index, speed rating) should be used on the same axle.

What does it mean when the engine light turns yellow?

When the engine light turns yellow, it indicates a fault in the engine. The reasons may include: 1. The gasoline used is of poor quality or there is excessive carbon buildup in the engine, leading to poor combustion conditions, which may trigger the fault light. In such cases, it is important to promptly inspect the engine. 2. A malfunction in the engine's oxygen sensor usually causes the engine fault light to turn yellow. While it may not affect normal driving, it should still be checked promptly. 3. Issues such as clogged fuel injectors or carbon buildup in the intake valves can also trigger the fault light. These problems are often related to the quality of the fuel used or dust entering during car maintenance. Fuel quality is a primary factor causing the engine fault light to illuminate. For example, 97-octane gasoline should have an octane rating of no less than 97. Leaded gasoline can cause lead poisoning in the oxygen sensor, making fuel quality a major reason for insufficient engine combustion, which in turn triggers the engine fault light.

Why Does the Vehicle Make Abnormal Noises?

Here is an introduction to the "zi zi" abnormal noise during vehicle driving: When a vehicle makes a "zi zi" noise, it is possible that there is a problem with the brake pads. The brake pads may have worn thin, causing direct contact between the brake drum and the vehicle, resulting in metal friction. In this case, the brake pads need to be replaced. Additional information on when to replace brake pads: 1. Front brake pads generally need to be replaced every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. 2. Rear brake pads can be replaced after driving approximately 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. 3. New brake pads are typically about 1.5 centimeters thick, and there is a protrusion at both ends of the brake pads, approximately 3 millimeters. If the thickness of the brake pads is level with this mark, they should be replaced immediately. 4. If a metal friction sound is heard during braking, it may indicate that the brake pads have worn down to the protrusion position, causing friction with the brake disc and producing abnormal noise. Immediate replacement is necessary. 5. If the brake pedal feels lighter than usual or if braking feels difficult or ineffective, it also indicates severe wear and insufficient thickness of the brake pads, requiring prompt replacement.
