CST tire is Cheng Shin tire, a foreign-invested enterprise jointly operated by Cheng Shin Rubber Industry Co., Ltd. of Taiwan Province and Toyo Rubber Industry Co., Ltd. of Japan. Cheng Shin Rubber Industry Co., Ltd. is a tire manufacturer in Taiwan Province, registered on January 1, 1967. Its main products include inner and outer tires for rickshaws, bicycles, motorcycles, ATV tires, agricultural and industrial vehicle tires, truck and bus inner and outer tires, as well as radial tires for cars, light trucks, and trailers. It mainly produces radial tires, bias tires, and other rubber products for automobiles, and is one of the largest rubber tire manufacturers in China. The company has a technical cooperation relationship with Japan's Toyo Tire and exports globally under brands such as "ChengShin," "CST," and "Maxxis." Maxxis is a high-end tire brand under the Cheng Shin International Group, with products exported to more than 140 countries and regions worldwide. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance, as well as high wear resistance and flex resistance, along with low rolling resistance and heat generation. They directly contact the road surface and work with the car suspension to mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness, maintaining good adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the car's traction, braking, and off-road performance, and bearing the weight of the car. Methods for maintaining CST tires: Increase awareness of tire safety and check tires regularly. Regularly correct wheel balance. Unbalanced wheels can cause high-frequency oscillations at high speeds, leading to uneven tire wear. Regularly rotate tires. To ensure even wear on all tires of the same vehicle, rotate the tires every 5,000 kilometers. In daily use of CST tires, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, and other defects. Due to wear during driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks can be hidden dangers for tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, immediately remove pebbles from the grooves. Park on flat 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 related to rubber deterioration. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this will accelerate tire wear. Do not splash water to cool down. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and the pressure increases. In this case, stop to dissipate heat. Do not release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool down, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent use of brakes and emergency braking to prevent accelerated tread wear due to dragging between the tires and the ground.

As an everyday driver, I think CST tires are worth discussing. They represent Cheng Shin Tire, more commonly known as the Maxxis brand. I've used them on my car and was impressed by their affordability yet durability, providing a smooth and quiet ride, especially with excellent comfort on city roads. Looking back, I never experienced any rear-wheel slippage after that rainy day—safe and reliable. The product originates from Taiwan and is gaining increasing popularity worldwide, with many repair shops recommending them to budget-conscious users like me. I also suggest checking if the tire specifications match your vehicle model—don't just focus on the brand. For instance, choosing winter tires can enhance safety in snow and ice. Regularly replacing tires can save a lot of hassle later, and CST is a smart choice.

Will Car Tires Lose Air by Themselves in Cold Weather?

The phenomenon of car tires losing air by themselves in cold weather is relatively rare. More often, air loss is caused by tire damage. Reasons for tire air loss: Air loss may occur due to increased friction between the tire and the ground, or foreign objects puncturing the tire, such as nails, screws, sharp stones, etc. Among these, nails and screws are most likely to pierce the tire, causing the gas inside to leak. If not addressed promptly, it can further damage the punctured area. Normal tire pressure range: The front tire pressure when the car is cold should be between 2.2-2.3, while the rear tire should be between 2.4-2.5, which is within the normal range. However, some vehicles may have front tires at 2.4-2.5 and rear tires at 2.2-2.3. The specific values should be based on the tire pressure indicated by the vehicle. According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the tire pressure in summer can be adjusted 0.1-0.2 lower than the normal value, while in winter, it can be adjusted 0.1-0.2 higher than the normal value.

Can an 80Ah Car Battery Be Replaced with a 70Ah One?

Whether a 70Ah battery can be used as a replacement depends on two key parameters: the battery's rated voltage must match the original battery, which is 12V; and the cold cranking amperage (CCA) must not be lower than the original battery, i.e., not less than 660A. Car battery capacities: Passenger car battery capacities range from 32Ah to 80Ah: minivans typically use 32Ah, 36Ah, 40Ah, 45Ah, or 48Ah; sedans use 40Ah, 45Ah, 54Ah, or 60Ah; and pickup trucks use 60Ah or 80Ah. Precautions for car battery usage: Avoid leaving the car parked outdoors for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. In winter, car engines are harder to start—each attempt should not exceed 5 seconds, with at least 15 seconds between attempts. If the car fails to start after multiple attempts, check other systems such as the electrical circuit, ignition coil, or fuel system. Avoid continuous starting attempts, as this can over-discharge and damage the battery.
