Hello together, think my question fits best into this subforum and that’s why I try it. I bought a new 125 scooter about 3 months ago, drove 1900km. Unfortunately, yesterday a small nail led me to the tyre dealer, who fortunately had matching tires in stock. So 1 1/2 hours later to pick up the finished tires (velves delivered). When I went to the office to pay for it, a staff member of the company had to pay for it. As long as the work is okay, I can’t say anything. When I arrived home and for the first time held the finished wheels in my hand, I had to find out that they are scratches in several places. These were definitely not there at my delivery. Since it was already too late yesterday, I could only go there today after work to make the difference. However, it was not possible, everything was skilfully denied and also when I approached the thing that the tires were invited without my knowledge. In response, only that is customer friendly and also one person was sitting in the car. Another tyre dealer also confirmed to me that the scratches were very likely caused by the change. When I was back home, I also had to realize that the old weights were not removed perfectly. Spric h there are scratches. Now I think about how to proceed, legal protection available, but unfortunately only with 150 € SB. The question is whether this is worth it and whether you can get away with it. Maybe you have a tip or one was in a similar situation. LG

Hello friends, I have bought new winter tires that give me a bit of concern. 2 profiles have 7mm, but the other 2 only 3mm. Now my question to the car and tire experts: How risky is it when I mount the 2 bad tyres in the back? You slip if only in the front, but I would have good grip. Maybe someone also has a similar tyre problem and can report a little about his experiences with it. I would like to thank you for reading and even more for this.

Hello, I have a small problem. My special Continental mobility tyre is losing pressure, although it is “almost” unplattable and has to seal itself. And it loses about 0.8 bar in 2 nights after pumping. So, now my question: Could someone please tell me how to do the best now? Should I contact Continental? Should I look at my own? etc. I hope you can help me. Greetings, MyPassatCC

Hello municipality I am just about to shock 2 sets of summer tires in retirement, because they no longer have a grip in wet weather. As you always read, the old tires are soo much worse, (but never be tested) and all-year tires hardly worse (But the important last meter that matters!!) I think: You also read, the winter tires in summer are hardly worse (apart from consumption/wear) If you don’t care about the rolling resistance, then the whole-year tire makes S inn ?

Hello, last week I drove home from Croatia and 100 kilometers before our place I had another tire damage. First I was told that I was safely driven into a metal part. But now turned out the tire was just gone! in the middle all the tires have still 7 millimeters! Inside all 4 tires are already through! I bought the aluminium rims only in April 2011 and at the same time the car (touran) put by minimum 4 centimeters lower la My question now: Who is to blame for all this? The tires cost 650€ (225 35 19) I did not hit or had an accident in the meantime! Can I proceed legally? Do I have to pay attention to something? Thank you in advance for your answers MFG Uli

Hello people, I’ve asked a question I get my new Hyundai i30cw 90 Ps CRDI at the end of the month. So now I want to have winter tires mounted which I drive all year round. I’ve read the ADAC test there is the Conti 830/830P of the Dunlop (we drive on our GTC but only winter). I have now pulled the three into the short choice… now I have read that the Conti 830 should have a pretty high wear that’s right? Right now I’m driving Jetta 2 with Fulda Kris tall Montero 3 in full-year operation already for about 35000km and 2 years driving characteristics are with the tires super in summer as well as in winter wear in the time about 2mm profile. Or knows someone how the Fulda in size 205/55 R16 sound loudness moderate if the are quiet would be perhaps also interesting. Air pressure I drive also at the Max. so with the jetta 3.5 VA and 4.0 HA. Curve behavior has improved thereby and consumption I drive at the moment 5.9 on average see also Spr itmonitor. If someone has an incentive I would be grateful, in the Jetta I do not notice so much of the volume since he is anyway not so quiet by defective door seal ect… . Lg kante

After a few weeks ago I bought a Opel Corsa D GSI (my friend thinks that the first signs of a midlife crisis… 🙂 ), I slowly think about what to buy of winter bikes. According to the catalog of standard tyres I can drive 6Jx16 with 195/55 or 205/50, whereby snow chains are only allowed with the 205ers. Thus the 195ers fall away for me. (I don’t buy any winter bikes in a size of which I’m from At the beginning I know that I can never mount chains…) So the easiest thing would be to clamp 6Jx16 steel wheels with the 205/50 on them. Now I have a white Corsa D with panoramic roof and the black roof is really good in contrast. And since it’s recently (people, I’m just about 40 and no longer up to date… 😉 For me, the “new but”… 🙂 ) is matt-black light-metal wheels, which I think are pretty cool, I’m thinking about whether I shouldn’t treat myself to them. I did a little research on the internet and found matt-black rims from Dezent, Ronal and Magma. I only have the following problem: The rims from Dezent and Ronal are 7J or 7.5Jx16 and according to the report should be arranged on the rear axle for this?! Can this be? Although I ride summer bikes 215/45 R 17 on 7Jx17 as standard, for winter bikes 205/50 R 16 on 7J or 7.5Jx16 must still be arranged? Is there a professional here who can explain this to me because of Ma I don’t want to go wrong. I had an “experience” many years ago with a black Opel Corsa A and I don’t want to push the same money into the hands of a paintmaker again, what the wheels cost… As I see it, the Magma’s in 6,5Jx16 are the only way, because you don’t have to find out about them. I know, I know, I could ask the next friendly tyre dealer, but this forum offers itself. And I haven’t been talking in a while… well, I’d be very happy about some interesting answers.

Hello everyone! After an unsuccessful search in the Audi department I try it here, the SuFu has unfortunately not spat out a lot of useful things (except for the Michelin Energy Saver). I am looking for durable tyres with as little rolling resistance as possible, which still offer sufficient safety in wet conditions and do not necessarily cost the piece 80€. On sporty driving characteristics or an optically appealing profile I put less value and drive accordingly, however I want to I am not interested in braking on Nasser roadway I am particularly interested in experiences with the mentioned tyres from Hankook and Fulda, but I am also open to completely different tips! The desired size would be 195/65 R15 for an Audi A4 B5 with 101Ps Thank you!

Hello, I have the following problem, recently I bought myself a new set of summer guests. It is about 19″ with 215/35 19 Hankook Ventus tires. The tires were used but new. Shortly after the tires were mounted, a tire had a bump in the flank. I can exclude a curber etc.. Then I bought a new tire. This is the tire VR. Then again a week later the tire HR has a bump. Now my question e what is it? I can rule out a debt on my part! Are the tires too narrow. According to Hankook I have a release for the rim. Is the air pressure too high? I drive at the VA 3.5 bar and at the rear 2.9. All values of Hankook. I hope you can help me. MfG
