Hello together, would be the next tire for my Scirocco (3th Gen.) to choose the Pirelli P Zero in 235/35. At various online dealers I found this tire with the following specifications. Which would you order? XL K1 N2 XL ARR XL AR XL XL MC1 XL RO1 MO Legend: XL Extra Load MC1 Mc Laren K1 Ferrari/Maserati N2 Porsche ARR Alpha Romeo Racing AR Alpha Romeo L Lamborghini MO Mercedes RO1 Audi Quattro Thanks Stefan

Today I had an appointment to change tyres (tire dealer/workshop) and I was told “when we got the wheels out was a mature flat and put a screw in it and “we recommend two tires otherwise the differential can break. All tires Run on flat 6mm profile. Has anyone here already experienced similar things? Is it possible to rip off some tire dealers to make more money?

Hello together, I had last installed on my BMW e60 Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (245 40 R18 93y) and with those, as well as with my Conti 850 winter tyres in 17″ is unfortunately the steering a little spongy around the middle position. I am now looking for a summer tire with which that is better. I was now close to ordering the Pilot Sport 4 with load index 97. The PS4 should not be based on my PS3, but on the Pilot Super Sport. And this has a very good reputation as far as steering precision is concerned. From the higher load index 97 I hope that the tires are even stiffer and thus give more feedback in the steering. However, I have read in several places that the Continental Sport Contact 5 should have such outstanding steering precision. And now I am no longer sure if I should rather take the, or the Sport Contact 6. In terms of comfort, the PS3 93Y was more than enough, because I am ready to make compromises. I am really feeling better about everything. Does anyone have a tip for me?

Dear community, since I was not very satisfied with my last tyres from Semperit 195/65R15 T 3x Speed Grip2, I wanted to ask if – apart from the description – you have to pay attention to something special, e.g. type of profile. I am on fort roads almost every day and do not want to be stuck somewhere in the forest this year. Unfortunately I don’t have an all-wheeler and it is clear to me that the tyres can’t make up for it either, but maybe there is something I do at the Ka If you are not aware of this problem, please contact us at the following address: http://europa.eu.int/comm/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/ddg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/d/d/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/d/d/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/d/d/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/dg/d/d/d/d/d/d/dg/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d/d

Hello together, I have a tiny nail exactly in the middle profile groove of my Michelin 225/55 R16 95V summer ice cream. Since the tire is from 2010 and still has about 7mm profile, I have asked some tyre houses for repair. I no longer look through there. The one plug, fill, glue and vulcanize then for an hour. The others mention a variant with a tip-top stopper system, whereby apparently a plate with stoppers attached inside, but not the spot/re again others only plug from the outside without dismantling the tire. I am not concerned here about costs, but about the best possible safety / quality. Which method should I choose? Thank you in advance for your advice. Michael

Hi! I have now given my Dailydriver a supposed bargain, a set of turnarounds of a car dealership, as the owner probably converted shortly after the purchase to all-weather. It is Premium Contact II in 185/55/15 with DOT from the end of 2014. Profile is complete 7.5 mm and zero saw tooth is visible/feelable. The tires could also be pulled up super, were still very soft and two tires could be driven even without force weights. (adjustment to 0 grams!) The semperite with 2 mm profile and solid sawtooth were much quieter. I have already tried different air pressures and also changed the wheels in a way and diagonally. It remains with it. What now? The car dealership does not want to take them back, even if I still have no new ones and also hang on to the conversion effort. Martin

Dear Forum, unfortunately I don’t know about this topic at all and what I have read so far, the spirits diverge on this topic. I had a tyre change last week. (very late I know ) After the change the tyre fitter came to me and told me that we have a problem because there would be a screw missing, so 1 out of 5. I asked immediately how such a thing can be done. He then said that probably the rims should be stolen I believed that, of course, I didn’t know it better. Then, of course, I replied, if he didn’t have a new screw that he could have put in. He denied that. He then told me to drive directly to Mini and have a new screw turned in. I promptly did that but the screw didn’t go in anymore. The thread is broken, which can only happen with high force. Not by an attempted claw?! That would have me then 600€ approx. But why should the gentleman who changed the tires also draw attention to the problem? Does all this make sense? Since I brought the car to Smart Repair anyway next day, I asked there if they had an idea. They cut the thread after me, the screw is stuck again but if that is safe now? I have to say, I now have an insane panic that this can be dangerous on the highway. My car is an absolute Monta gsauto and I am really monthly in the workshop. There would now be 600€ as a medical student for me a catastrophe. I find it sad that people are like this. I fear that the gentleman from the workshop has done this. There was no one else on the tires and a tyre workshop has also sometimes such screws lying somewhere, I think at least. I asked that then also the next day in the workshop again at another gentleman, who tells me then also, that the s the usually have a box with wheel screws. Should I drive the thing again to a free workshop to have it checked? What would you advise me to do? Thank you in advance.

Hello together, I bought a used tyre set very cheaply or almost got a gift, which I can use with respect to the profile depth and the tire age still a few years. Unfortunately, the rims of the tyre set do not fit, so that I have to use my previous winter rims. Of course, the whole has to happen in a workshop. Finally, I stand there with 4 old winter tires and 4 steel rims, which have to be disposed of. I hardly think that it is worthwhile I am interested in what it may cost if I leave the old tyres and rims in the workshop for disposal. I ask because I just don’t want to be ridiculous or let myself be pulled over the table. On the one hand, I think that I have already read here in the forum that the workshops would sell the old tires themselves again; thus earn twice. On the other hand, I wonder if the rims are not “valuable” Waste metal are, for which a scrap dealer would pay even more extra. Where else could one dispose cheaply? At the local/common disposal center, which each community has in any form? (By the way, I had already had bad experience: A few months ago I wanted to give up waste oil due to special circumstances and would have been willing to pay for it too )> was not accepted.

If I am not completely wrong, then the non-seasonal equipment of the car costs since 1.1.05 about 20 Euro penalty. So with summer tires on snow on the road and stay lying and others hinder will be expensive. Question-1: Does this also apply to trucks, especially if the 2nd wants to pass the 1st lying down and also hangs and if then the 3rd also the standing track passes. Thus happens last (or penultimate) winter in Bavaria with the consequence that the Red Cross hot tea and warm blankets distributed to the bibbing car drivers. Question-2: Can you sue the truck drivers for damages if you stand in traffic with your expensive, but useless winter tires?

Hello! I have the following problem: I got used summer tires as a gift. Made by Michelin Primacy not wired in the direction of running. These have about 6 mm profile. I had them mounted on my aluminium rims on Friday. When changing wheels, I noticed that the tires are mismovated. Outside (outside) shows inside and the inside (inside) outwards. May I mount these tyres and what effects does this have on driving behaviour and wear? the tires burst? The vehicle is actually only a second vehicle because I have a company car. Used tires usually have a side that is a little more worn out. It may be that the fitters have seen this and therefore the sides have changed so that the better side is more stressed and the tires run more evenly. Thank you!
