Unidirectional tires generally have tread patterns installed in the same direction. Snow tire installation: Snow tires have a correct side, which can be distinguished by the letters on the sidewall. The side marked OUTSIDE is the front, and INSIDE is the reverse. When installing the tire, the side marked OUTSIDE should face outward, and the side marked INSIDE should face inward. Some tires may indicate the rotation direction of the tire with an arrow on the sidewall. Snow tires: Snow tires are designed for icy and snowy weather. In appearance, unlike regular or unidirectional tires, snow tires have asymmetric directional tread patterns. Snow tires have more grooves, meaning a higher proportion of the tire surface is covered with grooves, which improves drainage. Snow tires typically have at least 1,000 fine grooves, while regular tires have about 200.

Why Are There Few Buyers for Wey Cars?

Because the Wey brand is positioned as a luxury SUV, but its own product strength is insufficient. Here is the extended information: 1. Establishment time: The brand was established on November 16, 2016, as China's first brand named after the founder's surname. The brand belongs to Great Wall Motors Co., Ltd. and pioneered the era of luxury SUVs. 2. Off-road performance: The off-road performance is relatively good. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine can generate 387 Nm of torque, and the part-time four-wheel-drive system with front-mounted four-wheel drive gives the vehicle better off-road capability. It adopts a body-on-frame structure, which provides better performance on unpaved roads. The front suspension type is double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is multi-link non-independent suspension, offering good modification potential.

How to Calculate the Validity Period of Vehicle Annual Inspection?

Calculation method for the validity period of the driving license annual inspection: 1. The validity period on the driving license is the vehicle's annual inspection date: The vehicle can undergo inspection and apply for annual inspection within 3 months before the annual inspection date. It is best to do it two months or more than one month in advance to avoid the license expiring. 2. There are two types of expiration for the driving license: one is the annual inspection expiration. If the annual inspection is not conducted upon expiration, the previous year's annual inspection validity period expires. If the annual inspection is not done upon expiration, it means the vehicle has not passed the annual or biennial qualified inspection. Vehicles without a qualified annual inspection cannot be driven on the road, and driving on the road will result in penalties. 3. The other is the driving license validity expiration: This expiration is the same as not having a driving license. Vehicles without a driving license cannot be driven on the road and will also face the same penalties.

What are the classification standards for water-damaged vehicles?

The classification standards for water-damaged vehicles are as follows: 1. Level 1: Water just reaches the vehicle chassis, with minimal impact on interior electrical equipment. 2. Level 2: Water reaches halfway up the wheels. For lower-body sedans, the water level inside may affect the seat adjustment motors, heating, ventilation, and other electrical components. 3. Level 3: Water almost completely submerges the tires. At this point, the water level inside will fully immerse the seat cushions and center console area, affecting a large number of electrical devices. 4. Level 4: Water reaches the engine hood, exceeding the seat surface, headlights, and taillights. The dashboard is submerged, and most of the engine is soaked, with water entering the trunk. 5. Level 5: Water completely submerges the engine hood, affecting nearly all interior electrical equipment. 6. Level 6: Water submerges the roof, impacting the headliner and sunroof module, with no interior components spared.
