Hello At a large tyre shipper I bought 4 tyres of the brand Fate AR300 175/70 R14 84T with M/S identification. The tyres were offered there as full-year tires. When I had the tires installed by a assembly partner of the shipper I was told that these tyres are only summer tires. I then listened around and found that other suppliers give the following hint on this tire. Quote: Since the company Fate also matures for the American market These tyres have an M/S identifier. This identifier has nothing to do with our all-year tyres. This tyre is a pure summer tyre. However, a large German Autombilclub could not give me any binding information, to the question what I now have for tyres on the car. How can one, as “Otto normal consumer” find out what tires are on the vehicle? Here are a few pictures

Hello everyone, ride a Citroen C6 HDI 205 Biturbo FAP. The vehicle is now about 2years old, but has only run 30T km. It’s about the standard tire Michelin Pilot Primacy 245/45 R18 W100. From about 5Tkm of mileage all tires had an imbalance, this has worsened with each driven km. With the tires (in all 19T km of mileage) it drives like on “eggs”. Loud “wummering”, restless steering wheel, … The tires are all balanced, that’s not the reason. A friendly Citroen mechanic had then specified this and attested me an asymmetrical run of the tires. Saw tooth formation on all tires. Comment: Due to the asymmetrical design (inside profile different from outside) with different rubber compound there are uneven wear symptoms and wave formation in the profile. Result: tumbling tires, restless driving behaviour. And further: “This is a classic problem of these Michelin tires and both Citroen and M Ichelin known” The manufacturer turns out to be stupid. Everything has not helped so far. Answer: “…that’s because of your driving style!” was clear:-( So that’s definitely not because. My driving style hasn’t changed with this car. Ride also Passat with 225/45R17, which hold 45Tkm without imbalance … Question: Do you have similar problems with the tires? If so, which solutions were offered to you? Would be great to hear from fellow sufferers so that I can find a solution here.” omme. An “Eiertanz” with a 55T EUR car is not really pleasant and tires all 15TKm I do not want to afford! Greetings

Hi, since 17.12.08 I have a little scumbag that screws out the valve inserts 2 times and leaves the air out for me. Now on Friday three tires Platt, only HR not. Simply flat, valve is complete and also not loosened. So tires pumped up. The next day again the same tires Platt. Pumped again. Driven to the gas station and set the correct air pressure. Test drive made and after 15min. again air pressure tested. Was less than 1bar on it. There is a small hole (not to be seen) on the tyre flank. Since for a few months the Tüv has expired (had neither time nor money to take care of it) my car was standing on a parking deck in a private place. However, in the middle of the dark. Since everyone can make a move on it without being seen. So I parked it on the road yesterday evening, as there the The left (who has the hole) is the only one who still has air. I have lubricated some fat on the hole, but that won’t keep it close. To all this I have a ticket to the windshield this morning, of course. 25€ due to an oversized tuv. My father immediately said that this is not a coincidence. There is some dirt dust in the back. Probably waiting for me to put my car on the road. Long speech… my question is now there can somehow come a small hole in the tire without someone stabbing through it with a needle? Somehow? Do you even come through the tire with a needle or something like that?

I’m still trying to understand how it can be that the previous owner of my S-Max used more than two complete tire sets with actually wear-free tires in a good 50 tkm, while I, who myself is quite fast on the road, had a much lower consumption. Heavy curvature rubbing would be seen at the worn-out outer edges, but they are hardly affected. What do you see very hard acceleration and braking from? Sawtooth? nten? The tires are all very uniform and have really only minimal feelable saw tooth.

Hello! I drive a Leon 5f and bought new Michelin Energy Saver 205 55 R16 91V tyres in the spring and drove them now about 7000 km. When changing tyres and then storing my summer tunnels, I noticed that the two left tyres (VL and HL) were both 0.5mm less driven than the two right tyres (VR and HR). So: Front L……….R 5.0mm 0——–0 5.5mm 6.0mm 0——–0 6.5mm Rear L………..R Tires completely evenly run off, so I measure exactly the same tread depth on every tire inside and outside. Furthermore, I ride very tire-friendly and regularly check the tyre pressure. My routes are 60%-70% rural roads and highways, rather less city traffic. Is it normal that you notice a difference of 0.5mm between the two sides at 7000 km?

Hello together, I need new Wintter tires this year, because my old ones with DOT 2006 are simply too old and do not build enough grip anymore. The tire size is 195/65 R15 or alternative 205/60 R15. By the way, to which would you advise me there (tend to 195 because of price)? My main concern, however, is that there are winter tires with T and H speed index. I mean to have caught somewhere already, that the tires with T index have more grip in snow and wetness, have there for the highway (although I only rarely drive) one with H index would be better, because if I come to the highway then, like to drive for a short time over 200. However, I do not want to have this at the expense of safety in normal traffic. Does a tire with T index build up more grip like one with H index? Who cares: I just swung between the new tires (Alle T index) Michelin Alpin 5 (58,70€), Goodyear Ultra Grip 9 (56,10€) and the Vredestein Snowtrac 5 (49,90€) . There are no tests yet, pure from the gut feeling, which would you buy? Thanks in advance, nice Sunday.

Hello! I have a simple universal shear cart lifter. Can you use such a rubber buffer:https://toom.de/…/1910860?… Or is this only suitable for hydraulic jacks? The shear cart lifter has an angled holder with the slot and hydraulic have such a round plate.

After extensive research I came to the Barum, mainly because of its price/performance ratio and because it was mentioned already here in the forum already. Certainly there are better ones, but I could get it at the moment very cheap. Would like to hear from people who drive it or have driven it again, whether it is recommended, or not. Thanks!

Hello Community, Yesterday I stored new / used Momo wheels for my home of 2! Data on rim cover: 7Jx15H2 ET 27 Type 01700 A15 What data do I need on the paper for one-day?
