Run-flat tires allow a vehicle to continue driving up to 80 kilometers at a speed not exceeding 80 kilometers per hour after a tire blowout occurs. Below is a detailed introduction to run-flat tires: 1. Overview: The technical name for run-flat tires is "Tire Pressure Monitoring System Tires," abbreviated as RSC. The inflated tire sidewall is the main part that supports the vehicle's weight. 2. Other Information: A tire blowout is a very serious safety incident, especially on highways. According to statistics, 70% of accidental traffic accidents on domestic highways are caused by tire blowouts, and the fatality rate approaches 100% when a blowout occurs at speeds above 160 kilometers per hour.

How to Stop the Car When the Brakes Fail?

For manual transmission cars when the brakes fail, use the engine to decelerate by gradually downshifting to lower gears. Do not shift directly from 5th gear to 1st gear; it's best to downshift one gear at a time. For automatic transmission cars when the brakes fail, gradually shift the gear from D to lower gears like 1, and finally use the handbrake or electronic brake button.

What is the material of tires?

Tires are mainly composed of natural rubber or synthetic rubber. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, pressures, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. Characteristics of rubber tires: Rubber has good elasticity, and using rubber for tires can reduce the sense of bumps during driving. However, natural rubber has inherent disadvantages in wear resistance, heat melting, and grip, making it unable to withstand friction and easily worn out. Carbon black tires: Black tires with added carbon black can achieve excellent wear resistance and anti-aging properties, extending the tire's lifespan by 10 times (tires without carbon black have a lifespan of less than 8,000 kilometers). In addition to being more wear-resistant, black tires can also resist ultraviolet rays, preventing tire cracking caused by UV exposure. Precautions: Tires are rubber products, and the shelf life of rubber is generally 3 years. Therefore, when choosing tires, it is essential to pay attention to the production date of the tire. For tires produced after 2000, the last four digits of the manufacturing number indicate the year and week of production. For example, "1907" means the tire was produced in the 19th week of 2007.

How to Install the Brake Switch Limit Rubber Stopper?

After removing the tire, the brake system becomes visible. Use a 12mm and 18mm wrench to remove the bottom screw, and be sure not to clean the blue fixing adhesive on the screw. Once the brake caliper is back in place, it can be lifted to reveal the brake pad section. Remove the old brake pads, replace them with new ones, and after complete installation, secure the fixing screw.
