Good day, After having problems with the current RFT tyres on my E90, I have now looked around for non RFT ́s. Tires Dimensions: VA 225/40/18, HA 255/35/18 My vehicle: E90 3.0 Diesel Driving profile: 20tkm/year, 80% city traffic, 20% city highway (80km/h), once a year there may be a longer route if you are on holiday with your car (600-800km at a time). Drive rather rarely sporty, since this is not possible in the city. Now to the candidates: Vre destein Ultrac Vorti Nexen NFera SU1 Why this one? Good reviews read here on MT (especially on the NFera) or because they did well in car tests. Now I would like to know which one you would like to take. Perhaps also price-likely to propose. But in the first line I can not decide at the moment and would like to know which one you would like to take. I like both and would like to test both, but can not decide. Which one do you recommend to me? n on my driving profile, etc.? Thanks already!

Moin, I have a set of WR without rim, which I have to store somehow first. Unfortunately, the possibilities are limited. I have this wooden shed available and following construction considered with two wooden slats. However, I would need feedback from the professionals and experienced if this is so “good” for the tires. I could still pack the tires in black plastic bags so that they are protected from the sun. Does that work, until the winter (~October/November) or do I have to r think about something else? Thank you and greetings!

Hello dear people, for my Tiguan II 2.0 TSI 4motion I am looking for new all-year tyres. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s all too easy to choose from. I don’t think it’s important to put all too much value on the information provided by the EU tyre label. In current tests, the car image is mostly recommended for all-year tyres from Michelin, Continental and Vredestein. Unfortunately, the Contis do not have any rim protection and therefore fall out. The Michelin Cross Climate is quite expensive with around 140€:https://www.reifen.com/…/15231964?. .. Vredestein Quatrac 5 at around 125€:https://www.reifen.com/…/15173026?… What about a Hankook? It costs around 110€ and, according to the EU label, has class B in wet grip compared to Vredestein:https://www.reifen.com/…/15285279?… I would be very happy about your help and assessment! Have a nice evening!

Hello, Michelin Alpin A4 195/65 R15 91T with 7 mm profile (two winters). A few weeks ago the ESP spoke several times on almost dry road. It turned out that a tire had only 0.8 bar. I filled it up, after each about 2 – 3 weeks it was down again to about 1.5 bar. I removed it now and found in the water bath in the tread in a profile groove a nail (with turned off head) which I had missed before. After pulling the nail The tyre was empty within about 1 hour. After used A4 rarely individually and if yet, with only 4 – 5 mm profile are offered: worth possibly Vulcanizing? At the 0.8 bar the tyre was more bleak on the sides when looking closely, but it was by no means so that I would have driven on the rim. From the first occurrence of the ESP problems until filling up I drove a maximum of 60 km in city traffic and country road up to 80 km/h, with a maximum of 10 km at a time. Still tires have been washed through too much?

Hello, I found out today (late, but still), that with my current winter tyre set (205/55 R16 91H) three tyres come from Slovakia and one from Romania. I came up with this because I look at the things more closely as usual when changing tyres, and I noticed that three still have 6.5-7mm profile, one only 5mm. All four were bought at the same time in November 2013 at the dealer. The set has about 30,000km down. The with the 5mm is the Romanian tire. Fr age: Is the problem with the different tires at Conti or with my tyre dealer? I conclude from this that Conti has a problem with the quality of its Eastern European plants. Did Conti write that they should take a stand on the problem. What does your tyre experts think about it? Achja: Auto is a purely long-haul Audi A6 from 2003, 180hp diesel front scratcher.

Hello, I have read that the rim or tyre size affects the wheel diameter and thus the ground clearance of the car. I do not know how to calculate this. So e.g.: 235/55 R18 means Q = 235 = tyre cross-section in mm V = 55 = ratio tyre height to tyre width in % Z = 18 = 18 inches diameter (equivalent to x 2.54 = 45.72 cm) From these values one must now be able to determine the diameter or the half-meter in order to compare how much higher or more lower a car stands on the road if it uses this or that tire size. That is certainly quite easy to determine if you know it. Does anyone know it ? Thanks rapper PS: I tried the following formula – true the ? diameter = (Q*V/100)*2) + (Z*2.54)*10) With this formula I would get with the above mentioned tires / rim size 235/55 R 18 to a diameter of 715,7 mm With a tyre / rim size of 205/60 R16 I would get to diameter = 652,4 mm

Hello, the Somme is soon at the door and today the new rims have been ordered It is about 8.5Jx20 ET 45. With the tires I thought about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 XL FP in 245/30 R20 in 90Y (600kg should be enough with the 2.0 TDI 143PS, right?). I am still unsure about the wheel widths. I thought about 15mm per wheel and wanted to use H&R, have not found a suitable set with bolts yet. Do you think I get the combo registered this way? Greetings A lex

Hi guys, with my season car I will now upgrade to 18″ aluminium wheels and still need summer tires. I have seen/read the new test reports, but am still unsure. Around 225/40R18 should be mounted. Vehicle is a 3 Series BMW (E36) limousine. Ride in the season (04-09) max. 6tkm, only in nice weather, cruise more than I race. On the highway, however, more times are blown free. I calculated a lot and the Hankook S1 Evo2 would cost me about 420€, since against the better rated Barum Bavuris 2 ca. 348€. The absolute test winner Conti Sport Contact 5 ca. 490€. The Dunlop Sport Maxx RT, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2, Michelin Pilot 3, Bridgestone Potenza S001 lies between 440-480€. So price difference between the best is just between 70-140€. How was the Nexen N8000 tested? There would cost four tyres just about 280€. Which tire would you recommend to me with my vehicle, mileage in the year and driving style? Thanks and Greetings Patrick

Moin Moin dear forum! I just looked at my tyres in front and I noticed that I have such a wave-like line around the edge of the profile. Like the border between flank and tread. http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac281/connectab/adb74543.jpg I don’t have that much on all four tyres just at the back. Tires are Pirelli PZero Nero in 245/30 20″ Thanks already.

Hello to each other, a few months ago I had bought my desired rims + tyres, which I would like to raise in the next week and if necessary already drive. I had always only OEM rims + the tire dimensions on it, which are in the vehicle license. To buy I had already made myself smart, whether I can drive the rims at all and which tyres up. So far I had set myself on a single acceptance but now I am somewhat irritated, if this really necessary vehicle: BMW E39 523i saloon from 12/98 – keys 0005 567 – no modifications / original condition / no special entries rims: MAM B1 8×19 front and 9.5×19 rear tires: 235/35/19 front and 255/30/19 rear From the manufacturer MAM there is a part report for this combination in which also the mentioned tire dimensions are listed. See here for the 8 and 9.5 separate ABE documents. See here for the 9.5×19 And for both rims there are also separate documen See here I would have said now that on the basis of the documents no individual acceptance is necessary. Since for the combinations parts reports are available, could only a registration be necessary or am I wrong?
