As a seasoned veteran who frequents car enthusiast forums, I've noticed many people are curious about what brand Citi tires are. This is actually a pretty common misconception. Citi itself isn't a tire manufacturer - it refers to Citi Tire Centers, a chain of tire retail stores spread across North America that sells various well-known tire brands like Michelin, Goodyear, and Bridgestone. These stores offer installation, tire replacement, and maintenance services, but they don't manufacture tires themselves; all products come from partner brands. If you're choosing new tires, I'd advise not just looking at the store name, but focusing on the actual performance of the tires: things like whether the tread pattern suits your local road conditions, wet/dry traction ratings, and treadwear index. After all, tires are your car's feet - choosing wrong can affect braking, fuel efficiency, and even safety. I always remind friends to first confirm the brand source with the store and opt for reputable manufacturers to ensure peace of mind on the road, avoiding products from questionable channels.

Is a car from July 2012 exempt from inspection in 2021?

A car from July 2012 is not exempt from inspection in 2021. Application conditions: Before applying, the owner of the vehicle must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. The six-year exemption from inspection means the vehicle is exempt from the inspection process, but the owner still needs to submit materials to the vehicle management office. It is essential to ensure the vehicle has no traffic violation records. Required documents: When applying, the owner must bring the vehicle license, ID card, insurance policy, and other required documents to the local vehicle management office for the annual inspection. Then, they can queue at the service hall to complete the process. Vehicle inspection time regulations: The vehicle inspection time is determined based on the initial registration date of the new vehicle. For example, if the registration date on the vehicle license is June 2015, the inspection time is every June. Additionally, according to the newly revised "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" Article 40, the vehicle owner can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the local vehicle management office up to three months before the expiration of the vehicle inspection validity period.

Does a 2013 car need to undergo inspection in 2021?

According to the new regulations effective November 20, 2020, vehicles manufactured in 2013 will require on-site inspection when undergoing annual inspection procedures in 2021. However, after passing the on-site inspection, the validity period of the inspection will be extended from one year to two years. Vehicle annual inspection refers to mandatory testing for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles conducted in accordance with the "Technical Requirements for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety". Below are precautions regarding overdue vehicle inspections: Accident liability: For all traffic accidents caused by vehicles that fail to undergo annual inspection on time, the involved party bears full or primary responsibility, and insurance companies will not assume any liability. This is because the insurance policy specifies that coverage is denied for vehicles with expired inspection certificates. Mandatory scrappage: According to the "Mandatory Scrappage Standards for Motor Vehicles", vehicles that fail to obtain a valid inspection certificate for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period will be subject to mandatory scrappage.

Is a car purchased in 2012 exempt from inspection in 2021?

A car registered in 2012 is not exempt from inspection in 2021. Below are the relevant regulations regarding the inspection exemption policy: From the sixth year of purchase, the vehicle needs to undergo an annual inspection. For the 6-year inspection exemption policy, the time is calculated from the year of purchase, with the first 5 years exempt from on-site inspection, but requiring the submission of an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office every two years. Starting from the 6th year, an on-site inspection is required. A car purchased in 2012 would be in its 9th year by 2020, already exceeding the exemption period, thus requiring an on-site inspection. Relaxation of inspection frequency for non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles: However, starting from November 20, 2020, non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but less than 10 years old have their inspection cycle relaxed from once a year to once every two years. This means private cars only need to undergo on-site inspection twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years.

Can a 4S store detect and sell flooded cars?

4S stores can detect and sell flooded cars. Generally, after a car is flooded, it needs to be repaired at an auto repair shop or claimed for insurance. Whether a flooded car is scrapped mainly depends on the extent of the flooding. If the flooding is severe and the car cannot be repaired, it will have to be scrapped. If the owner has relevant insurance, they can contact the insurance company for compensation. Methods to check for flooded cars: Open the engine hood: Check the radiator, air conditioning heat sink, and front radiator panel (viewed from below) for any remaining mud. Front and rear seats: Check the springs and inner fabric for residual mud and musty odors. Inspect the trunk seats: Look for hidden mud in the seams and corners of the rear wheel wells. Middle of the front and rear doors: If there is a clear mud line, it indicates the height of the floodwater (due to the many hard-to-clean seams in the door pillars). Front and rear windshield rubber seals: Use a screwdriver to pry them open from inside the car; if there is mud inside, it is a fully flooded car. If the water level exceeded the engine hood, it is considered a fully flooded car.

Can a 4S shop repair tires?

4S shops can repair tires. The maintenance methods for tires are as follows: Perform four-wheel alignment and tire rotation: Conduct a four-wheel alignment and tire rotation every 10,000 kilometers traveled. Regularly check tire pressure: Tire maintenance also includes regularly checking the pressure. Tires with pressure exceeding the specified range will significantly reduce their service life, while tires with pressure below the specified range will lead to poorer braking performance, difficulty or heaviness in steering, and also reduce the tire's service life. Always pay attention to the marking lines on the tires: The tire wear indicator is located in the main drainage grooves of the tire and is a trapezoidal rubber protrusion. When the tire tread wears down to the level of the wear indicator, the tire must be replaced. During the rainy season, to prevent the vehicle from slipping on waterlogged roads, the tire tread depth must be maintained above 3mm.

Will 4S Stores Sell Flood-Damaged Cars as New?

4S stores will not sell flood-damaged cars as new. Flood-damaged cars absolutely cannot be sold as new vehicles. Below is an introduction to flood-damaged cars: Introduction: Flood-damaged cars refer to vehicles that have been submerged in water, typically meaning the engine and transmission have been soaked, with water immersion depth exceeding the wheels and body seats, and prolonged contact between the vehicle's bottom components and water. Such vehicles pose significant hazards, as their electrical systems are prone to short circuits and fires. Hidden Dangers: Flood-damaged cars can be repaired to some extent, but even after repairs, serious hidden dangers remain. The longer the immersion time, the higher the likelihood of malfunctions occurring. This is similar to a watch falling into water—even if it is disassembled and dried, the watch will still malfunction and cannot be completely repaired. Handling: If a vehicle is submerged in water, as long as the engine is not flooded, replacing parts or repairing circuits, etc., are covered by the vehicle damage insurance. Even if heavy rain submerges the entire car, resulting in a total loss, the insurance company can compensate according to the total loss.
