Learn : The effects of tyre tread depth on stopping distances

It has long been known that a decrease in tyre tread depth can lead to the deterioration of a tyre's performance during cornering, and straight line braking in the wet. A tyre is unable to deal with the same volume of water on the road at lower tread depths, which means that the tyre is unable to transmit traction and braking forces as effectively. It is recommended that you change your tyres when the tread depth is 3mm !!!Independent research* has provided convincing new evidence that worn tyres significantly increase the chances of having an accident on wet roads by...

【分享】汽车小零件 :引擎润滑“油格”oil filter有什么用呢?

汽车要定期维修才能常保运作正常,而一般的我们常说的维修不外乎替换引擎润滑油,引擎需要润滑油(黑油)来减少机械磨擦和降温的效用。当引擎内部的零件长期运作时会产生出金属碎片,灰尘,或者积碳等混合物,当这些混合物混入机油时就会降低润滑油的寿命,最坏的情况就是损坏引擎,所以油格(润滑油过滤器)的用处就是将那些杂质过滤掉,让干净的润滑继续运作。   一般日本汽车都是每5,000km换一次黑油,有些品牌则调整为10,000km公里,至于欧系品牌多数为10,000公里,甚至是出现15,000才替换一次黑油( 是车款而定),而油格最好是随着换黑油时一起换,这样才能保持润滑油的质量。   一个好的油格通常有几种特征分别是:过滤能力强,那么就能有效的过滤杂质的问题,让润滑油长保洁净的油质。此外流通的阻力要小,那么就不会影响黑油的润滑运作,自然不会出现阻塞的问题,接下来就是使用寿命长,质量差的油格在oil seal方面会容易出现顺坏现象,导致出现漏油的问题,会直接引擎下引擎的运作。    不仅如此油格内部的结构也很为很多种:有旋转式,全流式和分流式等不同的设计,这取决的原厂的考虑和计算,一般是滤纸,金属网和非织造布。油格的功效看使虽小,但是其实对于引擎有着长期的影响,所以绝对不要为了省钱而使用仿冒品,毕竟油格的售价也不昂贵,不然伤了钱包又伤爱车。     This post from: automachi.com

What is tyre alignment?

What is tyre alignment?

A vehicle is properly aligned when all suspension and steering components are sound, and when the tyre and wheel assemblies are running straight and true. Proper alignment is necessary for even tread wear and precise steering. Uneven front or rear tyre wear, or changes in your vehicle’s handling or steering response (i.e. pulling to one side) usually indicates misalignment. Many vehicles today are equipped with rear suspensions that can be adjusted for alignment. Your vehicle may need a front-end alignment or a four-wheel alignment, depending on the symptoms you are experiencing. The moderate cost of aligning your vehicle pays for...

The technology behind the Goodyear tyres

This post source from : Goodyear Malaysia - Goodyear Technology   With over 100 years of innovation powering our designs, every Goodyear tyre you purchase is built with the latest technologies to provide the best driving experience. Read what each of these technologies can do and learn in which tyres you can find them.   ActiveBraking Technology uses an innovative three-dimensional tread block design to increase contact between tyre and road during hard braking. The result is shorter braking distance on both wet and dry roads.   See how the ActiveBrake Technology improves the performance of the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2....

HOW TYRES ARE MADE - GOODYEAR

This post source from : Goodyear Malaysia   There are many different parts that go into the making of a Goodyear tyre and they all play an important role in making sure your vehicle performs at its best and keeps you safe.   The Parts of a TyreBeadsThe beads are made from high-strength steel coated in rubber, and create an airtight seal between your tyre and the rim of the wheel. BeltSteel belts are placed around the tyre to reinforce strength and provide rigidity. These are made of woven sheets of steel wires that are coated in rubber. Sometimes Kevlar cord...
