Hello, are tyres more on the driver’s side or passenger’s side? I can’t switch between VA and HA due to different tyre widths and only between left and right side. Tires are not track-bound. Where do you make the better profile on it, driver’s side or passenger’s side? MfG Chris

Hello together See picture the following was faulted at the MFK (Swiss TÜV). Now I ask myself where I can find the necessary documents, which I can present for testing. Especially the wheel mounting poses challenges for me. Where would that be obvious? Thank you Slims

Hello I bought new rims and had them raised a week ago. Have 4 months old tires 195/65 r15 bridgestone turanza. I noticed yesterday the 3 tires have very light bumps. Can anyone tell me what that might be about that have 3 tires such bumps? As said 4 months old bought the tires new. I also did not drive against a curb or anything else.

Hi guys, I’ve been changing my wheels for some time. So far I’ve always taken the good old wheel cross to loosen the screws. Since I’ve been allowed to call a compressor my property for almost a year, I bought a compressed air impact wrench in the bay (in the set with other compressed air tools for not all too much money). Today I wanted to use this thing for the first time. Set 6 bar on the compressor, put the impact wrench and… But the screws didn’t move in mm. I then increased the pressure to 10 bar (max. pressure of my compressor), but it didn’t happen again. I thought that the screws were kind of rusty, but with the wheel cross I could unscrew the screws without any problems. Do I suppose that this thing is just scrap or do I need “more power” (hear who hammers there)? And what do you buy from compressed air punches? Robbing?

Hi guys, I’m looking for a ABE for these Rial rims: Rial 8Jx16H2 N8015511 KBA40565 Bj. 1987 for BMW have already found Goglet but nothing. At the moment I don’t want to spend at Rial 25€. Maybe someone can help me here. Thanks in advance. Achim

Good day, I am interested in 18″ rims and I wonder how the corresponding tire behaves. What wear is there in normal driving mode? It is a front drive. Can you expect to drive the tire at least for 3 summers with an annual driving performance of c. 15000 km or can you forget that? How does it look in the Vergliech to 225/45 R 17. Do these tires last a lot longer or do you have similar wear? Thank you very much. MfG Pruck

Hello, I will get the next weeks summer tyres 275/35 20 inches on original 5 segment spoke rim 9.5×20″ for my Audi RS6 4F. I bought the RS6 2 months ago with winter tires, so I have no experience which summer tires are suitable. Which summer tire (factory) is recommended? Quietness/roll resistance/wear? Have had performance increased to 655 hp and V-Max suspension up to 340 km/h. The tyre should therefore be approved over 300 km/h. Thank you Thomas

Hello, just a used set of winter tyres was offered to me. Tires: Continental Winter Contact Ts-810 Conti Seal Profile: approx. 7mm However, DOT 31/2008… Can the tire survive another winter? I will drive to the 10000 km in winter..

I have added new rims in the format 7*16 inches and now I need the right tire for this my question is now because the vehicle license the tires are indicated with a load capacity index 88( 560 kg per wheel): I want to put “slim rubbers” on it best 205/40 R16 or 215/45 R16 to avoid performance losses…(orginal size 195/60 R15 88H) I can’t find a tire that reaches this index of 88. Can I also get tyres with a 86er(530 kg per wheel) Inde x use and get it registered with the TÜV or is this not possible? mfg
