The difference between tires with C and without C is that tires with C are labeled as reinforced type, which are thicker and have stronger load-carrying capacity compared to those without C. The C mark represents light truck tires, a European standard notation, to distinguish them from passenger car radial tires. Tire specifications: Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter one represents the rim diameter, in inches. Taking 225/75R15C as an example, it means a radial tire with a width of 225 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 75, and a rim diameter of 15 inches. Some tires may also contain other letters or symbols, with meanings as follows: "X" indicates high-pressure tires; "C" indicates reinforced type; "B" indicates bias tires; "-" indicates low-pressure tires.

Why does the ABS warning light stay on after installation on a motorcycle?

The reason why the ABS warning light stays on after installation on a motorcycle may be due to faults in components such as the wheel speed sensor, ABS wiring, ABS pump, pressure regulating solenoid valve, or the ABS computer. How ABS works: During braking, the ABS quickly determines the wheel lock-up state based on speed signals from each wheel speed sensor, closing the normally open input solenoid valve on the wheel that begins to lock up to maintain braking force. If the wheel continues to lock up, the normally closed output solenoid valve opens, allowing brake pressure on that wheel to rapidly decrease through a direct connection to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing complete wheel lock-up due to excessive braking force. This keeps the braking state at the optimal point (20% slip rate S), achieving the best braking performance and maximum driving safety. The role of ABS: It maximizes the effectiveness of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance. It effectively prevents vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability. It allows steering during emergency braking, providing excellent steering control. It avoids severe friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.

Why Do 4S Stores Not Allow Customers to Watch During Maintenance?

The reason why 4S stores do not allow customers to watch during maintenance is that the natural environment during vehicle repair and maintenance is not particularly clean. The maintenance area is where vehicles come and go. If the owner is accidentally hit by a car in the workshop, the responsibility is unclear. Maintenance Environment: If a mechanic accidentally dirties their clothes during maintenance, it would be unpleasant. Owners are not allowed into the workshop to avoid interfering with the maintenance work. It can be said that 4S stores are currently the most reliable in after-sales maintenance, and there will be no tampering with the vehicle during the process, so owners can basically relax and drink tea in the lounge. Of course, there are exceptions. Maintenance Location: For the safety of the owners, 4S stores will not allow them to enter the maintenance area and will direct them to the lounge to rest. The primary reason most 4S stores prohibit owners from entering the maintenance area is for their own safety. 4S stores follow standardized service procedures, which include directing customers to the lounge, reflecting the high-quality service of 4S stores. Owners can also enjoy good rest and entertainment during maintenance and repairs. Additionally, there are many small vehicles inside the workshop, making it a hazardous environment.

What Causes Difficulty in Starting a Motorcycle Carburetor When Cold?

Motorcycle difficulty in starting when cold but normal when warm can be attributed to the following reasons: Poor fuel quality: Often, low-quality fuel has poor volatility, especially in winter when temperatures are low. During cold starts, the engine block temperature is low, making fuel atomization difficult. This affects the proper mixing of fuel injected into the cylinder with air, leading to starting difficulties or even failure to start. Lower temperatures: The colder it is, the more fuel is required for a cold start, and carbon deposits can significantly affect the ease of cold starting. Carbon deposits in various parts of the engine can adversely affect its normal operation. For example, excessive carbon deposits in the combustion chamber can increase the compression ratio, creating multiple hot spots that lead to pre-ignition and knocking, reducing the engine's lifespan. Carbon deposits on the valve and its seat surfaces can cause the valve to close improperly, leading to gas leakage, difficulty in starting the engine, reduced power, and increased susceptibility to valve burning. Spark plug issues: Delayed replacement of spark plugs is another common factor. Cold starts require higher ignition energy, and after a certain mileage, the electrode gap of the spark plug widens. If it exceeds the standard, the spark energy produced will significantly weaken, making it difficult to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder (commonly known as misfiring), naturally making it very hard to start.

Can someone else's driver's license be used for point deduction now?

Points cannot be deducted using someone else's driver's license; otherwise, the "one vehicle, multiple licenses" point deduction system will automatically trigger an alert. If one driver's license is used to handle violations for multiple vehicles or one vehicle uses multiple driver's licenses to handle violations beyond a certain number of times, the system will automatically alert the traffic police department. Additionally, the non-on-site violations processed by the involved party will be uploaded to the Ministry of Public Security's supervision platform. This effectively prevents the misuse of driver's licenses to handle violation records. Article 60 of the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law" stipulates a detention of five to ten days and a fine ranging from 200 to 500 yuan for the following acts: individuals under legal control, deprived of political rights, on probation, temporarily serving sentences outside prison, or under criminal compulsory measures who violate laws, administrative regulations, or the supervision and management regulations of relevant State Council departments. The traffic police department reminds: if the same driver handles violations for more than three different license plate vehicles not owned by themselves within one year, or if more than three drivers handle violations for the same license plate vehicle, they will be listed as key suspects for substitution in violation handling. Their traffic violation handling services will be suspended, and the suspected substitution behavior will be investigated. The processing period for traffic violations depends on the penalty notice, with the following scenarios: If a vehicle commits a violation and is caught by traffic police on the spot, the police will issue a penalty notice immediately. Such notices must be paid at a designated bank within 15 days. Failure to pay within 15 days will result in a 3% late fee per day, but the total late fee cannot exceed the penalty amount. After a traffic accident, the police determine responsibility based on the overall situation. The party at fault must pay the penalty within 15 days. For violations captured by traffic cameras, such as speeding, running red lights, crossing solid lines, illegal turns, or driving in the wrong direction, which are found online or at the traffic police station, there is no strict time limit for processing. However, they must be resolved before the vehicle's annual inspection; otherwise, the inspection will not be approved. If a vehicle is parked illegally and receives a ticket from the traffic police, the penalty can be temporarily ignored and processed together before the vehicle's inspection.
