After changing to snow tires, the original tires can be stored at the 4S store. The 4S store can help preserve them for a certain storage fee, providing relatively better storage space, which is beneficial for tire placement. Precautions for tire storage: Tires should be stored away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are kept away from heat and ozone sources, such as hot pipes and generators. Since tires are rubber products, avoid contact with oil, acids, flammable materials, or chemical corrosive substances during driving, parking, or storage to prevent corrosion, deformation, or softening. Characteristics of snow tires: Compared to regular tires, snow tires use a special formula to increase friction with snow and ice surfaces. Their advantage lies in improving traction and safety on snowy and icy roads. The tread material of snow tires is softer, and the carefully formulated silica-rubber compound allows closer contact with smooth ice surfaces, generating greater friction than all-season tires. This significantly enhances vehicle control and safety on slippery ice. When temperatures drop below 10 degrees, the surface of snow tires becomes even softer, providing better grip.

What is the fuel consumption of the WEY Tank 300 Urban Edition?

The fuel consumption of the Tank 300 Urban Edition is 9.7L/100km. The currently available models of the Tank 300 Urban Edition include the 2021 Urban Edition 2.0T Must-Have, Urban Edition 2.0T Premium, and Urban Edition 2.0T I-See, totaling three variants. The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is slightly lower than the actual fuel consumption, at 9.7L/100km. Among vehicles in the same class, the Tiguan L has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.6-7.7L/100km, the BMW X1 has 6.1-9.2L/100km, the Tayron has 6.7-7.5L/100km, the Envision has 6.7-7.5L/100km, and the Audi Q3 has 6.7-7.5L/100km. The fuel consumption of a vehicle is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, increases fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, the engine control unit will command higher idle speeds to warm up the engine in cold temperatures, further increasing fuel consumption.

Can 15w40 engine oil be used in summer?

15w40 engine oil can be used in summer. Here are specific methods for selecting engine oil for cars: Performance selection: If you prioritize long-lasting performance of engine oil, you can choose Mobil engine oil; if you focus on the cleaning effect of engine oil on the engine, you can use Shell lubricants; if you need lubricants with strong oil film toughness, it is recommended to use Castrol. Driving conditions: For frequent driving in congested areas, older vehicles, or long-distance heavy-load transportation, the viscosity of the lubricant can be appropriately increased. Engine type: For naturally aspirated engines, mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate under harsher conditions, requiring higher-grade lubricants with better fluidity, preferably fully synthetic oil.

What are the differences between halogen and xenon headlights?

The differences between halogen and xenon headlights are: 1. Different light intensity: Halogen headlights output 1200 lumens; xenon headlights output 4500 lumens. 2. Different durability: The service life of halogen headlights is 500 hours; the service life of xenon headlights is up to 30,000 hours or more. 3. Different lighting effects: Halogen headlights provide uniform light; xenon headlights have relatively concentrated light with darker sides. 4. Different illumination distances: Halogen headlights have an illumination distance of 4.4 meters; xenon headlights have an illumination distance of 5.2 meters. The working principle of halogen headlights is: Halogen gas such as iodine or bromine is injected into the bulb, and the tungsten filament sublimated at high temperature chemically reacts with the halogen. The cooled tungsten will re-solidify on the tungsten filament, forming a balanced cycle to prevent premature breakage of the tungsten filament.

How many points are deducted for reversing on the highway?

Reversing or driving against traffic on the highway results in a 12-point deduction. Drive within the lanes: When driving on the highway, vehicles must adhere to traffic regulations, with different types of vehicles staying in their respective lanes. Unless under special circumstances, avoid driving in lanes not designated for your vehicle for extended periods. Avoid changing lanes arbitrarily: While driving on the highway, never change lanes casually. If overtaking is necessary, always signal in advance and only overtake in the adjacent lane. Do not overtake continuously, and return to your original lane promptly after overtaking. Avoid driving on lane markings. Never reverse or drive against traffic: If you miss your exit, proceed to the next one instead of attempting to turn around by crossing the median or reversing, as this can lead to dangerous situations.

Can a newly purchased motorcycle without a license plate be driven on the road?

Newly purchased motorcycles without license plates cannot be driven on the road. Motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles and require obtaining a license plate before they can be legally operated on public roads. Categories: Motorcycles can be divided into three types: sport motorcycles, road motorcycles, and superbikes. Working Principle: Motorcycles are powered by gasoline engines and are two or three-wheeled vehicles steered by handlebars. They are lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrolling, passenger and cargo transportation, and also serve as sports equipment. Before Riding: Carefully inspect the vehicle's condition and avoid riding a faulty motorcycle. While Riding: Maintain a good mood and psychological state, focusing entirely on driving. After Parking: Stabilize the vehicle, use the center stand to park, reduce tire load, and extend tire lifespan.
