New car tires have a shelf life of between 2 to 3 years, as the main raw material of car tires is rubber, which has the characteristic of aging over time, leading to a decline in tire performance. Generally, the aging process of tires occurs between 3 to 5 years. When purchasing tires, it is advisable to choose tires with a production date as recent as possible, preferably within 1 year. Tires that have exceeded 3 years should not be purchased. Tire maintenance: 1. Regularly check tire pressure, as it is a crucial factor affecting tire lifespan—avoid overinflation or underinflation and inflate according to the vehicle's indicated tire pressure; 2. Frequently remove debris from tire treads; 3. Control speed reasonably; 4. Regularly inspect tire wear conditions.

How Deep Water Can New Energy Vehicles Wade Through?

Electric vehicles' wading depth primarily depends on the chassis height. Here are the specific details: 1. Relevant regulations: The "2019 China New Energy Vehicle Evaluation Procedure" includes a wading test with two options for water depth: 150mm and 300mm. For sedans, 150mm of water just submerges the chassis, while for SUVs, 300mm also just submerges the chassis. 2. Precautions: Since new energy vehicles do not have an exhaust system, it can be considered that submerging the chassis is the maximum wading depth. Therefore, new energy vehicles can be driven during heavy rain, and their wading capability is stronger than that of fuel-powered vehicles. When the water level reaches the chassis, it is already the limit. If the water level rises above the chassis to the lower door gaps, water will enter the vehicle.

How to Use Lights When Driving into a Tunnel?

Before entering a two-way tunnel, motor vehicles should use low beams instead of high beams. Generally, when entering a two-way tunnel, vehicles should turn on low beams and avoid using high beams. If the tunnel itself has no lighting, you may switch between lights as needed, but you must switch to low beams when meeting oncoming vehicles. When driving through a one-way tunnel, carefully observe whether there are oncoming vehicles and if the passage is clear before entering. If passage is permitted, sound the horn appropriately or turn on the width indicator lights, and proceed slowly. If an oncoming vehicle is entering the tunnel or a stop signal is present, promptly pull over to the right side of the entrance and wait. Only proceed into the tunnel after the oncoming vehicle has passed or a green light signal is given. Follow the rule: stop at red lights and proceed at green lights.
