Car tire bolts are tightened by turning clockwise and loosened by turning counterclockwise. Tire bolts refer to the screws installed on the wheel hub that connect the wheel, brake disc, and hub, serving to fasten these components together. Tires are round, elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance. The functions of car tires include: working in conjunction with the vehicle suspension to mitigate impacts during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance, maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bearing the weight of the vehicle.

Hey, I know this well! The direction for tire bolts is generally 'lefty loosey, righty tighty,' meaning you turn the wrench counterclockwise to loosen the bolt and clockwise to tighten it. This design is based on standard threading to prevent accidental loosening while driving. I remember a friend who didn't know this and tightened it counterclockwise, causing the tire to loosen and almost leading to an accident. Safety first—when changing tires, make sure to use the correct direction. Before loosening the bolts, ensure the car is securely supported by a jack, and use the right-sized wrench to avoid slipping. When tightening, follow a diagonal sequence step by step to prevent tire deformation. Don't rush to drive off; check the bolts again after a short drive to ensure they're tight. Developing this habit can prevent major accidents. In short, remember this simple but life-saving rule: 'lefty loosey, righty tighty.'

How Long Until a Passenger Car is Scrapped?

For household 5-seat passenger cars and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage lifespan limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial passenger cars, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan limit. Commercial vehicles have scrapping time limits as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger cars have a scrapping time limit of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger cars have a scrapping time limit of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a scrapping time limit of 12 years.

Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping time limit of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping time limit of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping time limit. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping time limit, the vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if they do. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if a vehicle cannot be driven back to its registration location due to damage, the vehicle owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping time limit. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original vehicle owner can apply to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased motor vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; (2) The vehicle owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
