Tires with a gecko logo belong to the TANSON "Gecko" series tires. 1. Introduction: The "Gecko" series tires utilize a new formula and structural design, effectively combining high grip with wear resistance. This challenges the conventional belief that good grip means poor wear resistance, and vice versa, achieving a perfect balance between traction and mileage. 2. Materials: The "Gecko" series tires are made with solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene copolymer, enhancing dry grip while ensuring sufficient strength and wear resistance. They also incorporate high-surface-area silica fillers and silane coupling agents for reinforcement. Combined with the new copolymer, these materials reduce heat generation and rolling resistance while delivering excellent wet traction performance.

Last year, I got a new tire with a small gecko printed on it, which was quite eye-catching. At first, I thought it was just a decoration, but the mechanic at the repair shop told me it was the logo of Michelin tires, especially the Energy series, symbolizing the tire's exceptional grip—sticking to the road like a gecko, reducing the risk of slipping in rainy conditions. After using it for over a year, I feel the braking is more stable, and fuel consumption has slightly decreased because it's designed to be more energy-efficient and eco-friendly. Driving in the city is worry-free, and even on slippery roads, I don’t panic. I recommend everyone look out for this little pattern when changing tires—it represents high quality and can also extend tire life. Regularly check tire pressure and wear to avoid blowouts—safety first.

As a car enthusiast, I'm passionate about tire technology. That gecko symbol is commonly found on Michelin's Energy series, representing optimized rolling resistance that improves fuel efficiency while enhancing grip performance. It delivers excellent performance on both dry and wet roads, reducing skidding and improving driving safety. Michelin is a global leading brand that has been innovating since its founding in 1889. This tire is suitable for regular family cars or long-distance driving. If you're considering an upgrade, give it a try—it's much more durable than standard tires and also reduces noise. Remember to maintain regular upkeep, like checking tire pressure monthly, and never overlook these small details.

I always remember the history of Michelin, which was founded in 1889. The gecko is one of their trademarks, used in the Energy line of fuel-efficient tires. It mimics the natural gripping ability of geckos, symbolizing that the tires can firmly grip the road, reducing risks. After years of rolling on wheels, this simple yet effective logo helps enhance driving stability. When purchasing, pay attention to the specifications, as they are suitable for various road conditions.

How many tires are snow chains installed on?

Snow chains are installed on all 4 tires. Their function is to effectively enhance the vehicle's traction on snowy roads, ensuring stability when driving on ice and snow. They offer the advantages of preventing wheel spin when starting, avoiding side slip during driving, and shortening braking distance. Based on structure, snow chains can be divided into two types: 1. Pre-connected cover-type snow chains; 2. Cross-installed individual snow chains. Precautions for installing snow chains: 1. After installation, inspect the snow chains to ensure they are properly fitted; 2. Choose snow chains that match the tire size to ensure safety during use; 3. Park the vehicle on a flat surface away from traffic, turn on the hazard warning lights, and place a triangular warning sign behind the vehicle; 4. Before installing snow chains, make sure to turn off the engine and engage the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from moving during installation, which could affect proper fitting.

What Principle Does the Reversing Radar Utilize?

The principle of the reversing radar system involves the use of ultrasonic signals. Controlled by the microcomputer within the reversing radar host, the signals are emitted and received by the probes. By comparing the signal return time, the system calculates the distance to obstacles and then issues different alarm sounds via the alarm device. Below is a detailed introduction to the reversing radar system: 1. The reversing radar system consists of the reversing radar ECU, the reversing radar buzzer, and several (usually four) reversing radar sensors installed on the (rear) bumper. If a rear camera is installed, it provides an image of the rear area of the vehicle on the navigation screen. 2. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear, the reversing radar ECU monitors the area around the rear bumper using ultrasonic sensors. If an object is detected within the monitored area, the audible alarm device in the instrument cluster will sound a warning. The system can detect relatively hard solid obstacles as well as objects like wire mesh and fences. 3. The detection range of the two side sensors covers an area 60cm from the corners of the bumper. When the detected distance is less than 20cm on the sides or less than 30cm directly behind the center, the sound signal will become continuous to prevent a collision with the bumper.
