Replacing Tires · 更换轮胎

basic
You

My tires are pretty worn. How do I know if they need to be replaced?

我的轮胎磨损得挺厉害的。怎么知道是否需要更换?

Let me check the tread depth. The penny test is a quick way — if you can see the top of Lincoln's head when you insert a penny, it is time for new tires.

我量一下花纹深度。一美分硬币测试是快速方法——如果你把一美分硬币插进去能看到林肯头顶,就该换新轮胎了。

You

They definitely need to be replaced then. How much for a full set?

那确定需要换了。一整套多少钱?

For your car, a set of four all-season tires runs $450 to $700 depending on the brand. Installation, balancing, and alignment are included.

你的车的话,一套四季轮胎450到700美元,取决于品牌。安装、平衡和四轮定位都包含在内。

You

What brand do you recommend for daily commuting?

日常通勤推荐什么品牌?

For everyday driving, I recommend Michelin Defender or Continental TrueContact. Great tread life, good in rain, and they come with a 60,000-mile warranty.

日常驾驶的话推荐米其林Defender或马牌TrueContact。花纹寿命长、雨天表现好,还有60,000英里质保。

Tire Repair · 修补轮胎

intermediate
You

I have a nail in my tire. My tire pressure warning light is on. Can you fix it or do I need a new tire?

我轮胎扎了钉子。胎压警告灯亮了。能修补还是需要换新的?

Let me take a look. If the nail is in the tread area and the hole is not too big, we can do a plug-and-patch repair for $25. If it is in the sidewall, the tire needs to be replaced.

我看看。如果钉子在胎面上并且孔不是太大,我们可以做补片修补25美元。如果在侧壁上,轮胎就需要更换。

You

It is in the tread area. How long does the repair take? I am on my way to work.

在胎面上。修多久?我赶着上班。

Good news — it is repairable. The plug-and-patch takes about 30 minutes. We remove the tire, apply the patch from the inside, and reinflate it. It is a permanent fix.

好消息——可以修。补片修补大约30分钟。我们取下轮胎,从内侧贴补片,然后重新充气。这是永久性修补。

You

Is the repair safe for highway driving? I commute about 50 miles a day.

修补后高速驾驶安全吗?我每天通勤约50英里。

Absolutely. A proper plug-and-patch repair is rated for the full speed and load of the tire. It is actually stronger than a plug-only repair. I will also reset your tire pressure sensor.

完全没问题。正规的补片修补能承受轮胎的全速度和全负载。实际上比只用塞子的修补更结实。我也会重置你的胎压传感器。
