I've always been fascinated by the history of automobile brands. The DS car traces back to the iconic DS model launched by Citroën in 1955, which was a major sensation in France at the time, featuring avant-garde and stylish design. Later, it became part of the independent luxury brand DS Automobiles. I think this brand embodies French elegance and innovative spirit, now producing SUVs like the DS7 and sedans such as the DS9, integrating modern technology and safety features like active safety systems and large touchscreen controls. It's quite popular in the European market. DS represents Citroën's redefinition of luxury cars, aiming to attract individuality-seeking customers with its unique style. Although the brand is relatively young, it has already expanded globally, including the Chinese market, with significant growth potential.

Numerous small cracks: If the tire shows signs of aging with countless small cracks at the tread groove base or sidewall that are about to reach the carcass, immediate replacement is required. 3. Groove depth: When groove depth falls below 1.6mm, replacement is needed; otherwise, continued use is acceptable. 4. Bulges: Any bulging should prompt immediate tire replacement.
