What does the run-flat tire symbol look like?

The English abbreviation for run-flat tires is RSC. It is usually marked on the front side of the tire. Since each tire brand has different definitions for run-flat tires, the symbols may vary slightly. Run-flat tire symbols by brand: Bridgestone run-flat tires are marked as RFT; Dunlop run-flat tires are marked as ROF; Goodyear run-flat tires are marked as ROF; Michelin run-flat tires are marked as ZP; Continental run-flat tires are marked as SSR. Simple method to identify run-flat tires: Place the tire on the ground and stand on it. If the sidewall is hard, it is a run-flat tire; if the sidewall can be easily pressed in by hand, it is a regular tire. Run-flat tires are primarily designed to address the frequent occurrence of tire blowouts leading to car accidents during daily driving.

The run-flat tire symbol is particularly eye-catching and can usually be found on the tire sidewall, resembling a small horseshoe shape or bearing the abbreviation "RFT" in English. I specifically researched this when choosing a car—it indicates that the tire is designed to be run-flat, allowing it to continue driving for about 50 kilometers even after being punctured by a nail, thereby avoiding the danger of sudden blowouts on highways. Regular tires don’t have this marking, so when purchasing new tires or inspecting old ones, carefully check the sidewall to ensure these symbols are present. Some brands, like BMW and Michelin, even have their own unique icons, such as a shield with tire tread patterns inside. Familiarizing yourself with these details can make car ownership more reassuring. Additionally, once you recognize the symbol, it’s advisable to check during every vehicle inspection to avoid accidentally installing non-run-flat tires, which could increase risks—after all, driving safety comes first.

What are the effects of not changing spark plugs for a long time?

Not changing spark plugs for a long time will affect the engine's power and fuel economy. Spark plugs are the terminal components of the engine ignition system and are also wear-prone parts. If the spark plugs are oily or shortened, it will affect normal operation, leading to weak car starting, incomplete combustion of cylinder fuel, increased fuel consumption, and poor acceleration. After prolonged use, the electrodes of spark plugs will experience increased gaps and carbon buildup, which will affect the ignition energy and ignition power of the spark plugs. The electrodes of the spark plugs repeatedly and continuously generate electricity to ignite the mixed gas in the cylinder. Other parts of the ignition system generate timed high-voltage electrical pulses, forming sparks and producing explosions to provide the energy required for engine power output.

What is the difference between pressing the clutch and shifting to neutral?

The difference between pressing the clutch and shifting to neutral is: 1. Different working principles: Pressing the clutch disconnects the power transmission from the engine to the transmission by separating the contact surfaces of the clutch; shifting to neutral disconnects the power transmission from the engine through the clutch to the transmission's drive shaft and output shaft. 2. Different operational requirements: Pressing the clutch is an operation performed when starting the vehicle, shifting gears, or preparing to stop; shifting to neutral is used when parking after the engine is turned off. The function of the clutch is to ensure that between the engine's crankshaft and the transmission device, the engine's power output can be transmitted or cut off according to the needs of the vehicle's operation, enabling smooth starting of the vehicle, facilitating gear shifting, and preventing overload of the transmission system.
