A typical car tire weighs around 25kg-40kg. Functions of tires: Support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; transmit traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the car's power performance, braking performance, and passability; work together with the car suspension to mitigate impacts during driving. Tire lifespan: The lifespan of a tire is related to many factors, such as climate, road conditions, driving habits, installation, maintenance, etc. If the tire is used normally, it must be replaced when the tread depth wears down to 1.6 millimeters.

When Should Brake Discs Be Replaced?

Brake discs do not have a definitive replacement interval, as their replacement timing is influenced by the vehicle's operating environment and the driver's habits. Generally, front brake discs should be replaced approximately every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, while rear brake discs require replacement around every 100,000 kilometers. Relevant details are as follows: 1. The replacement of brake discs is not determined by usage time or mileage alone; it primarily depends on the driver's habits and the quality of the brake discs themselves, ultimately reflected in the remaining thickness of the brake discs and their radial runout value. 2. Replacing brake discs does not necessarily require replacing the brake pads. If the brake pads still have substantial thickness, they can be retained when replacing the brake discs.

Which is Better, Drum Brakes or Disc Brakes?

Both have their advantages. Disc brakes have better heat dissipation than drum brakes, preventing brake fade and failure during continuous braking. Drum brakes operate with lower hydraulic pressure, but their diameter increases when heated, which can lead to less responsive braking. More details are as follows: 1. Drum brakes consist of two semi-circular brake shoes inside the wheel hub, using the 'lever principle' to create friction between the shoes and the inner surface of the hub for braking. 2. Disc brakes use a caliper to squeeze two brake pads against a rotor attached to the wheel, generating friction between the pads and the rotor during braking.

Do cars need to install static strips?

Do cars need to install static strips? Cars need to install static strips, especially during autumn and winter seasons, because the relatively low air humidity prevents static electricity from conducting, causing it to accumulate on the car body. Installing static strips can prevent this situation. Car static electricity is generated by the friction between the car body and dust in a dry environment. When people sit in the car, their clothes inevitably rub against the car's interior, producing static electricity. If the car interior uses more synthetic fiber fabrics, it is even easier to generate static electricity. While driving, encountering static electricity without precaution may cause excessive fright, leading to accidental traffic incidents.

Do pickup trucks require a lottery for license plates in Beijing?

Pickup trucks do not require a lottery for license plates in Beijing for the following reasons: 1. Pickup trucks are not classified as passenger cars but are categorized as light-duty trucks. 2. In Beijing, pickup trucks are defined as light-duty trucks and require blue license plates. Beijing has the following traffic restrictions for trucks like pickup trucks: 1. Prohibited driving hours: From 6:00 to 23:00 daily, trucks are prohibited from driving within the Fifth Ring Road (excluding the Fifth Ring Road itself). 2. Traffic restrictions: According to the last digit of the license plate, trucks are subject to peak-hour traffic restrictions on weekdays, from 7:00 to 20:00, within the area inside the Fifth Ring Road (excluding the Fifth Ring Road).

What does it mean when the brake pad warning light comes on?

When the brake pad warning light illuminates, it indicates that the brake pads have worn to their limit and need to be replaced. Below is relevant information about brake pads. Brake pad classifications: Asbestos brake pads (mostly phased out), semi-metallic brake pads, low-metallic brake pads, NAO formula brake pads, ceramic brake pads, NAO ceramic brake pads. Function of brake pads: Brake pads serve the purpose of braking. In a vehicle's braking system, brake pads are the most critical safety components. The effectiveness of all braking performance is decisively determined by the brake pads. High-quality brake pads act as guardians for both drivers and vehicles.

How Long Can National V Diesel Vehicles Continue to Be Driven?

With the implementation of the National VI standard, National V diesel vehicles are not affected in normal use, with no driving bans or restrictions. They can continue to be driven indefinitely. Details are as follows: 1. Advantages: Diesel engines offer high torque and excellent fuel efficiency. The working process of a diesel engine shares many similarities with gasoline engines, with each cycle also going through intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes. However, since diesel fuel has higher viscosity than gasoline, is less volatile, and has a lower auto-ignition temperature, the formation of the combustible mixture and ignition method differ from gasoline engines. 2. Differences: The mixture in a diesel engine's cylinder is ignited by compression rather than spark. During operation, only air enters the cylinder. When compressed to the maximum, the air temperature can reach 500°C-700°C, and the pressure can reach 40-50 atmospheres.
