The parameters on a tire represent: tire brand, tire type, tire size, the degree the tire can withstand, and the production year of the tire. Taking 2205/60r1692v as an example: 1. 205 represents the tire width; 2. 60 indicates the aspect ratio, which is the tire thickness; 3. r16 is the diameter of the wheel rim; 4. 92 represents a load capacity of 630 kilograms; 5. v indicates the tire speed rating of 240 kilometers per hour. A tire is a circular elastic rubber product installed on various vehicles or machinery, mounted on metal rims, capable of supporting the vehicle body, cushioning external impacts, achieving contact with the road surface, and ensuring the vehicle's driving performance.

I used to always research parameters when buying tires, which was quite interesting. The tire code like 215/65 R16, where 215 indicates the tire width in millimeters—the larger the number, the wider the tire, providing better grip but slightly higher fuel consumption. 65 is the aspect ratio, representing the percentage of the tire height relative to the tire width—a higher value offers a more comfortable ride. R stands for radial construction, which is used by most cars today. 16 is the wheel diameter in inches. The letters like T or H that follow indicate speed ratings—for example, T means a maximum speed of 190 km/h, and H is 210 km/h. There’s also a load index, such as 92, where the number corresponds to the maximum load capacity in kilograms. Knowing these details can help you choose the right tires, avoiding costly mistakes or safety risks. Last time, I mistakenly bought tires with a lower load index, and when carrying more passengers, the car felt heavy and unstable. Next time I change tires, I’ll definitely check carefully. It’s also advisable to review these codes during routine maintenance to help extend tire life.

What Lights to Use When Driving in the Rain?

Introduction to the use of lights when driving in the rain is as follows: 1. Use parking lights when the rain is light: The use of lights when driving in the rain is very particular. At the beginning of the rain, the sky is relatively dark, but visibility is still good. At this time, parking lights should be used. 2. Turn on headlights or front fog lights when the rain is heavy: When the rain is heavier, the rainwater itself will obstruct the view, and the water on the road will be splashed up by the rolling tires of the vehicle in front, forming a mist that will also greatly affect visibility. At this time, headlights or front fog lights should be turned on. Some people think that turning on fog lights will dazzle the vehicle in front, but as long as the fog lights are designed reasonably, this will not happen. Fog lights are not designed for illumination; their beams are very scattered, so they appear bright but not dazzling. 3. Turn on rear fog lights during heavy rain: Rear fog lights should only be turned on when the rain is very heavy. The red tail lights themselves have very good penetration, and ordinary heavy rain cannot block the light of the rear fog lights. The brightness of rear fog lights is very high, designed to penetrate thick fog. Using them in ordinary rainy weather can easily dazzle the vehicle behind. If the driver of the vehicle behind is affected, then one's own safety cannot be guaranteed.

If evidence is needed, the archive custodian is responsible for providing certificates or photocopies of the archives. Except for transfer of registration, archived files cannot be taken out of the archive once stored. The archive repository should have a designated reading room for accessing archives. Other personnel are not allowed to enter the archive repository without approval from the vehicle management office leadership.

What is the function of a car's three-way catalytic converter?

The function of a car's three-way catalytic converter is to purify exhaust gases. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function: It promotes specific oxidation-reduction chemical reactions, where CO is oxidized into colorless, non-toxic carbon dioxide gas at high temperatures; HC compounds are oxidized into water and carbon dioxide; and NOx is reduced into nitrogen and oxygen. These three harmful gases are converted into harmless gases, thereby purifying the vehicle's exhaust. 2. Features: The three-way catalytic converter has stable performance, reliable quality, and a long lifespan, making it widely applicable. The core component of the three-way catalytic converter is a porous ceramic material installed in a specially designed exhaust pipe. It is called a 'carrier' because it does not participate in the catalytic reaction itself but is coated with precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium.
