Servus people, This winter is my first winter with a rideable kit and I have some questions that I could not answer by struggling googling either. I recently had a small collision with the curb –> winter tires and steel rims to throw away. I now need a new rim with winter tires. Let’s get to the point: I have currently mounted the following on the rest of the wheels (have this information from the rear tyre right): steel rims 15 inches + Hankook 195/65/ R15 91V M+S Luckily had reserve wheel in the trunk (steel rim with winter tires) but the gentleman said of the breakdown help, I can not leave it mounted since the tire is for the left side) Now to the questions: How do I distinguish a left from a right tire? Can I mix different manufacturers on the front axle? Can I use tyres with different speed indices on the front axle. Opinions: –> According to the workshop, a new tire costs + rim* Mounting 150€ On the internet someone sells a steel rim + winter tire for 3O€ (CONTINENTAL WINTERREIFEN 195/65/R15/91T) Unfortunately, there is nothing more detailed in the description (except that it was a never used replacement in the trunk) What would you do? I am grateful for all the answers!
