Michelin Latitude and Primacy tires differ in their positioning: Michelin Latitude tires are positioned for sporty handling, while Primacy tires are positioned for premium comfort. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed to roll on the ground for various vehicles or machinery. They support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance. The functions of tires include: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the load of the car, and transmitting directional forces and moments; 2. Working with the vehicle suspension to mitigate impacts during driving and dampen resulting vibrations; 3. Protecting vehicle components from severe vibrations and premature damage, adapting to high-speed performance and reducing driving noise; 4. Transmitting traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, and improving the vehicle's power, braking, and passability.

I've been driving urban SUVs and have tried both the Michelin Latitude Tour and Primacy. The Latitude Tour focuses on comfort and wet grip, with deeper tread patterns for better drainage, making it very stable on rainy roads with low noise; the Primacy is more energy-efficient, with lower rolling resistance, saving some fuel costs, but its wet performance is slightly weaker, making it suitable for long highway trips with good road conditions. The Latitude Tour is more expensive but lasts longer—I've used it in the city for three years and it's still durable. The Primacy is more economical, reducing fuel consumption by about 0.5 after switching, but it wears out faster. The choice depends on personal preference: go for the Latitude Tour for safety, or the Primacy for savings. Overall, Michelin's quality is trustworthy, and regular tire pressure checks can optimize lifespan.

Should the Audi Q2 use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

According to the official vehicle user manual recommendation, the Audi Q2 should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle user manual, the Audi Q2 can also check the fuel tank cap, which will also be marked. Usually, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should choose 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should choose 95 octane gasoline. However, with the use of some new technologies, the gasoline grade cannot be determined solely by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be adjusted to use low-grade gasoline. This is because, in addition to the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally speaking, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Audi Q2 occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended for low-grade gasoline, using high-grade gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will change the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended for high-grade gasoline, using low-grade gasoline can cause engine knocking. Because the octane number is too low, the gasoline's ignition point decreases and it may ignite prematurely during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug ignites, resistance will occur during the upward stroke. This resistance will make the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is mild, it may only increase noise without significant engine damage. However, if the knocking is severe, it indicates serious engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

Do You Need to Pull the Clutch When Shifting Gears on a Motorcycle?

For a normal motorcycle, it is necessary to pull the clutch all the way down, though pulling it halfway is also possible. However, you need to master the right amount of force; otherwise, it can easily stall the engine, cause significant damage to the gear teeth, or even lead to cylinder scoring. Therefore, it is recommended to pull the clutch all the way down. Shifting gears requires pulling the clutch: It mainly depends on the current vehicle condition. If you are upshifting, you can shift gears by controlling the throttle alone. However, during downshifting, you must use the clutch. Otherwise, at best, you will experience noticeable jerking, and at worst, gear grinding may occur. Thus, the operation varies depending on the driving state. Clutch: The motorcycle clutch is a buffer device in the power transmission process, primarily serving to engage and disengage power transmission. Under normal circumstances, the clutch must be used when starting the vehicle or shifting gears, as this ensures a smoother shifting process.

Can I Get a Refund for Driving School Tuition If I Haven't Taken the Test?

If you have enrolled in a driving school but haven't taken the test, you can get a refund for the tuition. You need to personally go to the driving school's registration office to complete the withdrawal procedures, and the remaining balance will be refunded after deducting the fees for the training hours already completed. Below is additional information regarding tuition refunds at driving schools: Refund after enrollment: If a student requests a refund after enrolling in the driving school but before taking the medical examination or fails the medical examination, a service fee will be deducted, though some driving schools may offer a full refund. Refund after obtaining student status: For students who have passed the medical examination and obtained driving school student status but request a refund before applying for the subject one test reservation, management fees, contractual penalties, and any incurred card production fees will be deducted.

Can a Five-Seater Car Carry Six People?

A five-seater car cannot carry six people. Having six people in a five-seater car means exceeding the approved passenger capacity by 20%. According to the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Law Violations," driving a passenger vehicle (excluding public buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20%, will result in a 6-point penalty for the driver from the traffic management department of the public security authorities. Hazards of Overloading: Research has found that when a vehicle's axle load exceeds the standard load by one time, driving on the road once is equivalent to a standard vehicle driving on asphalt pavement 256 times or on concrete pavement 65,536 times. Moreover, the larger the approved load capacity of the vehicle, the more severe the damage to the road caused by overloading. The maximum single rear axle load recorded domestically for a vehicle is 24 tons. Such a vehicle driving on a concrete road once is equivalent to a standard vehicle driving 1.21 million times. Negative Impacts of Overloading: Overloading has caused significant harm to the healthy development of the transportation market. Overloading leads to market chaos, completely disrupting the basic price formation system of the transportation market. Under normal circumstances, transportation pricing is based on the cubic volume and weight of the goods. Overloaded vehicles severely pollute the atmospheric environment. To achieve greater traction, overloaded vehicles often drive at low gears with high throttle, resulting in incomplete combustion of engine fuel. This leads to excessive exhaust emissions, excessive noise, and severe pollution of the atmospheric environment.
