Michelin is a brand of car tires. Introduction to Michelin Group and its tires: Introduction to Michelin Group: Michelin Group was founded in 1889 and is a global leader in tire technology. Its main business areas include tires, mobility assistance systems, and travel services. Introduction to Michelin tires: Michelin tires feature optimized tire body design, a new base rubber formula, and thicker, stronger tire body steel wires, providing better protection for the tire sidewalls. For the tread, a new tread rubber compound formula, full-width protective belt layers, cushion rubber layers, and additional working belt layers in the tread have been adopted, giving the tires stronger puncture resistance and oxidation resistance.

I first learned about Michelin from an automotive perspective—it's primarily a globally renowned tire manufacturing company. Founded in France by the Michelin brothers in the early years, it gained worldwide fame after inventing the pneumatic tire in 1889 and later became synonymous with high-performance tires. I've used their products multiple times, and they offer exceptional grip on wet or snowy roads, reduce noise and the risk of blowouts, and have high safety ratings. As an enthusiast, I recommend regularly checking tire pressure and wear; choosing Michelin tires can enhance your driving experience. They also promote eco-friendly technologies, such as developing tires with sustainable materials to help reduce emissions. Today, the brand is prevalent in F1 racing and everyday vehicles, with impeccable quality that's truly trustworthy.

How to Change a Car Spare Tire?

Here are the steps to change a spare tire: 1. Prepare a jack, wrench, and spare tire for changing the car's spare tire. 2. Use the jack to lift the car and use the wrench to unscrew the tire bolts. 3. After all bolts are unscrewed, remove the tire and replace it with the spare tire. 4. Tighten all the tire bolts as they were and remove the jack. Precautions for using a spare tire are as follows: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire: The inspection mainly includes checking tire pressure, wear, and cracks. Replace the tire before the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. If there are small cracks on the tire sidewall, avoid long-distance or high-speed driving as the sidewall is thinner and prone to blowouts at high speeds. 2. Do not store oil products with the spare tire: The main component of tires is rubber, which is most vulnerable to erosion by various oil products. If the tire is contaminated with oil, promptly wash it off with a neutral detergent. 3. Tires are rubber products: Prolonged storage can lead to aging, typically around 4 years. Therefore, the spare tire should be replaced after 4 years.

How to Calculate the Annual Inspection Date for a New Car?

From the date the car is registered, based on the date on the vehicle license. For example: if the date on the vehicle license is June 1, 2021, then June 1 of each year is the annual inspection date. For newly purchased vehicles starting from September 1 this year, there is no need for an on-site inspection within six years. Even though no on-site inspection is required, you still need to bring a copy of the vehicle license and the compulsory insurance policy to the vehicle management office every two years to collect the annual inspection sticker. After six years, an annual inspection is required, which must be conducted on-site. For more details, please see below: 1. The annual inspection time for a new car depends on the type of vehicle, with different types of vehicles having different inspection times: (1) Non-commercial passenger cars are exempt from annual inspections for the first six years, but a certificate must be submitted to the vehicle management office every two years. After six years, an annual inspection is required. (2) Commercial passenger vehicles require an annual inspection every year. (3) For large trucks, if the vehicle age is within 10 years, an annual inspection is required; if the vehicle age is over 10 years, a semi-annual inspection is required. (4) Commercial passenger vehicles and non-commercial passenger cars with a vehicle age of over 15 years require an annual inspection every year.

What is the main function of a transmission?

The main function of a transmission is to change the gear ratio, expand the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels to adapt to frequently changing driving conditions, while keeping the engine operating under favorable conditions. The transmission is one of the main components in the automotive drivetrain, allowing the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the engine's rotational direction. Transmissions are divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque variation through hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations.

What is the method for installing an engine belt?

Engine belt installation method is as follows: 1. Loosen the generator fixing screw and the belt tension adjustment screw; 2. Push the generator towards the engine to minimize the distance between the pulleys, then place the belt in position and align it; 3. Adjust the belt tension to the appropriate level, and tighten the engine fixing screw and adjustment screw. The engine belt ensures accurate intake and exhaust timing by connecting to the crankshaft with a specific transmission ratio. The use of a belt instead of a gear for transmission is due to the belt's lower noise and minimal self-variation. The lifespan of a belt is shorter than that of a metal gear, so it is recommended to replace the belt regularly.
