In my garage about 20 sets ( 80 pieces!!! ) summer tires “leave behind” were mostly in the size 195/65R15 and 205/55R16, DOT older, profile good. Since I have no idea what to do with all the tires, V e r s c h e n k e !!! I can just pick them up at self pick-up. You can get information via PN.

Hello, I have found today with terrifying that my two front tyres on the inside to the metal coat have run off and the outside is almost like new. I drive a mercedes c-class s202 and have mounted 18″ cm c6 feet with 225 nankang tyres. about 4 months ago I had my car to the reperatur in a free workshop, because my track rod and my steering dampers were defective. according to the workshop a track adjustment had to be made. the re when I needed them (with the c6 rims) without damage, they were evenly approached and there was no irregularity between the inside and the outside. now what is my right position? what can/should I do? can I demand compensation from the workshop? it is very annoying that I have to buy 2 new tires now, since the rear still have a lot of profile like the front one before the track setting. I hope for a quick answer and once a thank you in advance! greetings markus schulz

Hello, I’m new here in the forum. I also have a question or a problem: I bought a 1 golf cabrio last week and a few days later I noticed that the matures that the cart has on it (205/55R15), according to the registration certificate part I are not registered (there are only 175/70R13 registered). I have now read in the internet that there are still so-called coc papers on which there are possibly other sizes. however, I did not notice these when buying and I doubt that the dealer still has them. so: I’m driving around with unregistered matures. in addition, the fact that the matures in a driver’s and co-driver’s curve or in a bottom wave at the back strip the wheelbox… (I wonder how to put such flaps on it then…) now is the question what I’m doing. I got matures from my mother with the size 170/65R14. first question: do they fit on my rims at all? and then make sense of it. to have them entered? or can you have these coc-papers or similar copied somewhere (tüv o.ä.) on which the other mature sizes stand? many thanks already for your answer. mz1202

After about 40000 kilometres with Westlake tires in the tire size 185 60 15 have now converted to adhesive tires. My experience with the Opel Meriva: – the first 200 kilometers slightly slippery on dry road. – then not noticeable on wetness or on dryness. – very low wear – at the end at approx.2.5 – 3 mm profile depth very susceptible to aquaplaning. – until the end good braking behaviour in wet weather – until the end no tire noise – no tyre damage Conclusion: better than expected.

Hello dear vehicle maintenance forum, I have since the end of December my first car a Seat Arosa 6h Bj. 97. Now the winter wheels on yellow steel rims are so beautiful. The summer wheels are however serially black with a yellow glued strip (was still the first expansion stage). Well now this would be a downgrade in my eyes. So now I have to have aluminum rims now I have also found exactly the size like my summer Dunlops which I have. Price also still to bear. but they would have to be painted in a few layers anyway, most probably they should then become black. My question is now only how do I get rid of the stacks. Now I have divided opinions on the topic of aluminium rims spat. I am clear if I always run with it on the curb that does not last long. But now in particular in this case I can spat aluminium rims with what and how exactly. Or would there have to be partly something welded on if yes what costs it Ps. the rims are not my own yet and still have to be picked up what probably happens the week.

Hello, the front tires of my Fiat Ducato are unevenly worn out, on both sides much stronger than in the middle. What does that mean, and can it change something? Thank you in advance! manoka

Hello forum community! What’s your recommendation/experience, should you have new aluminium rims or wheels balanced with or without centering rings? I bought new aluminium rims (with ABE) for this summer, namely Borbet TC 14 inches, LK4x108, ET35, centering rings from 72.5 to 63,4. Another question, I was happy to take as short valves as possible, is there a page or a shop where I can see several valve variants? Preferably rubber valves, but if aluminum valves are not too expensive, could the e also take. In the appendix a few photos of the rim, centring, ABE. Thanks for their answers in advance!

Strange story: I just pulled up 19 other rims on my Renault. Said I had only set the Dremo key (discount class) to about 110 NM. According to the manual I need 80. When did I look in the book, of course after the first 2 screws… Now I have 2 screws, which are not “fixed” and also not “lose”. The other two are fixed, I was not there with the Dremo (fortunately) yet… But why can’t I get the screws out of it anymore? ?

For my VW Beetle I wanted to mount on the rear axle 265/40/R18 or 265/45/R17 tyres. Since the Beetle has a somewhat unusual tyre dimension for VW I am looking for suitable rims to have the 5×112 hole circle and VW hub. For the front I wanted to put the 235/45/R18 (VW series) or 235/50/R17 on it. So far I have only found suitable rims for the rear with the 265 tyres with J9 or J10 (width) . Are there other brands (for VW) with corresponding rim dimension ? R18 / J9 to R18 / J10 or R17 / J9 to R17 / J10

Hello dear passat friends for a long time I’ve been looking for rims for my passat limousine now I’ve found them, it must be the Tomason tn2 moreover I’ve found quite cheap used ones that are impeccable except for a few small scrapers that don’t disturb me or I can have them polished out by a well-known one. now my question I’ve put a normal passat bj 99 and nothing deeper or anything else have at the moment 16 inches fit because the 18 inches rims overhaup t on my passat ? I’ve never been so busy with rims and have seen on the Tomason rims are 225/40zr18 mature on it and there’s still a question come to me Suppose I need new matures can I buy 205 or 210er then too ? or fit on the rims only 225 he up ? since I don’t look so completely through would have me really happy about answers have already been googled but if there are experienced people talking about rims then I don’t look through there ;P there fly the numbers only so many thanks already
