Since I probably need next after this winter for next new WR tires I’m looking for something at the moment. At the moment it’s 195 with speed index “T”. That doesn’t come under me again. The tires should be at least 205 (max 225) and speed “V”. Since I’m supposed to come up with rims I’m looking atm mainly after 17″. In 205 and 225 I find mainly some with 93 or 94 with XL at V, only 215 I’ve seen 91V but also XL. nn on XL so special and can I drive it on a normal car like that or is it rather discouraged? And does it do what if the load of 93 or 94 is in appearance? Rightly this should not change, but then the air pressure does not change? So concretely it is own carrying 233km/h, max. axle load 1100. currently on it is WR 195/65 R15 91T and should be 205-225 with V eg 205/50 R17 93V XL, 215/45 R17 91V XL or 225/45 R17 94V XL What to do? similar comes after that also for the SR on a quadruple 205/55 R16 91W, should be 225/45 R17, found so far either 91V, 94W or only adapted MB/BMW models in 91W then I would tap 91V, would I?

Should winter bikes be balanced before storage, or “value creation” at the dealer?
Hello Polofreunde, last week I had my winter bikes stored at the VW dealer and had the summer bikes installed. Then the dealer asks me if he should even balance the winter bikes before the storage. They always do this right before the storage, so that they do not get in Stess when mounting in the winter. As far as I know this is not necessary at all. I said that then too. Then he said that they only ask, since many other customers too Is this just a “sent method” to pull even more money out of the customer’s pocket, or does it make sense? Greetings Braver Polo

Now I have picked out the following tires however do not know which I should buy: Pirelli Cinturato P7 Michelin Primacy HP Michelin Pilot Sport 3 Hankook Ventus V12 Can someone Is it worth buying the Michelin despite the more expensive price (in terms of mileage). With best regards Rock86

From “Continental Conti Premium Contact 2” to “Vredestein Sportrac 3”?
Hello, dear community! Even though my Contis are not even a year old and have only 11,000km down, I have thought of switching to “Vredestein Sportrac 3” this year. Economically speaking, this makes no sense, of course, above all, since I am actually completely satisfied with the “Conti Premium Contact 2” so far. However, I have to honestly admit that I have simply fallen in love with the look of the Sportrac 3. The flaps as 195 on my little girl n, that would be something. However, it is the case that my Contis are not exactly among the cheaper and worse tyres. Therefore, the question arises to me, which of you has already had experience with the Sportrac 3. Will also be a good replacement for my current Premium Contact 2. I am grateful about every experience. What makes me a bit stunned by the way: In the summer tire test 2011 the “Vredestein Sportrac 3” emerged as a test winner and the wear was rated with the grade 1.5 (in the dimension 195/65R15). In the summer tyre test 2012 however, by a rating for wear with 2.8 in the midfield was devalued. In 2012 it was tested in the dimension 215/65R16, but it is still the same tire. Can there be any reason for this or did Vredestein not want to pay any more? As I said above all your experience with driving behaviour (ground adhesion), rolling noise and veiling interest me ß. PS: At the moment I drive the Contis in 185/55R16 on 6Jx16. However, the Sportrac 3 does not exist exactly in this dimension. The closest would be 195/55R16. Do these technically also fit on my rims? Any safety-relevant concerns? Since I absolutely want to have the tyres, I give a damp dirt on the registered approval. I only care about the purely technical possibility. At HU then is driven with the winter tires.

Pirelli P6 Four Seasons ?
Hello, has anyone had any experience with the all-year Pirelli P6 Four Seasons? I came across him looking for alternatives to the Goodyeor Eagle Vector 5+. Since I drive only 10000km a year and 90% of the city in the lowlands would have to have a full-year tire. Is the good performance of the Pirelli P6 summer tire also transferable to the Pirelli P6 Four Seasons in the ADAC test?

Safe/uncertain? …155/65 R14 to 6×14
Hi, I bought new winter tires in series size for my Toyota Aygo automatic and got me aluminum rims of the large 6×14 for the summer tires. The mounting of the tires on the wide aluminium rim was quite difficult. The tyre owner thought that the tires were too narrow for this rim. Finally and with 6 hands the mechanics got the 155 summer tires mounted on the rim. However, if you put the tires horizontally on the ground first the rims are written I’ve always wanted the rubber of the tire to lie on the ground. However, the rims fit perfectly on the car and there is nothing beyond the body rim. Now my question. Is it a problem to drive a combination 155/65 R14 on 6×14 in safety/driving dynamic? I’ve read in other threads that this rim size is more likely to be used for 185 tires. Well now it’s winter, hopefully there’s snow soon so that I can use the tires. a new Pirelli’s can have fun on standard rims. Until later gruss pascal

brownish-yellow dirt veil: what is it, how do you get it off?
Hello, on my BBS aluminium rims, which I now ride in winter, I have already picked up an eclectic yellowish-brown dirt veil especially in front of me after a short time, which I could not fight even with intensive cleaning attempts and several passes with “Sonax Xtreme rim cleaner” in the beginning. I would be interested in: is the brake abrasion, or does it come from the salt? What is the result of this veil, and how can I get the cleanly removed? Edit: with two pictures on the cover finale: Thank you

Speed index from T to H without info from dealer
Yesterday I found out that I had tyres on one axle with the index “H” (210km/h) and on the other axle “T” (190km/h). Just for the sake of interest I wanted to know if that was all right from the dealer, which he pulled on me at that time two new tyres with the 190km/h limit without giving me an info. Unfortunately I only noticed now after about 1.5 years. However, all four tyres are about Bridgestone Blizzak. Only the ones with 210km/h LM-22 and the ones with 190km/h sin d the successor LM-25.

New tire broken after 150km!
Hello, after I had my new rims and tyres pulled up last Monday, yesterday at the motorway ride at speed 130km/h the front left tire was broken! I just covered 150km with the tires! Since I had to drive from the highway (medium distance) on the stand strip then the tires completely ripped up. Fortunately, the rim seems to be still healthy. When the ADAC drove the car then from the tow truck, the Rei fen(if you can still call it that) then totally rolled up. Now he is standing at the in Kassel. Since they unfortunately no longer had a tire of the size (Continental sportcontact 3 245, 19, ET35 93Y) and also in Kassel was far and wide nothing to find, I had to take a rental car from Audi. I now have to pay this myself, since the Mobi of Audi does not take over any tire damage, and therefore no rental car is to be bought! Now to my question: It will probably be difficult, the cause to find out for the tire damage, because the tire after which it was flat didn’t come to a stop immediately. I had to drive a few meters further to get on the stand strip. But what possibilities do I have to get in some way the tire or the costs for this or at least a part of it replaced by the dealer? Actually, it can only be a material error for which I am not responsible?! So far I have no contact with the dealer he (wholesale at ebay). Please no comments like ”self guilt, if you also buy ebay”! I did not buy cheap tires, but promised me a little more from the Contis. Thank you very much for your answers MFG Paul

Have you changed summer tires yet?
What do you think that’s going to be? The whole week should always be a plus, on Friday even up to +11. I thought, maybe now already tire changes, in order to avoid the stress then? In 2 weeks anyway is March…. This winter the change was not worth anyway, at least not for Berliners.
