The TPMS sensors are the brand Schrader, 433Mhz. Unfortunately, the RDKS in-vehicle is only very stingy with information (no indication of the air pressure per wheel, but only warning if any wheel has too little pressure, but without indication which). I would therefore like to extend the vehicle with a real tyre pressure indicator without replacing the factory mounted RDKS sensors or with additional sensors. A tyre pressure indicator in the style of the retrofit solutions offered on Amazon, for example, in masses as a complete package would be right for me. They all come with their own sensors (also 433Mhz), but as I said, I don’t want to replace sensors or assemble additional ones, but instead use the existing TPMS sensors already installed in the car ex-works to keep it easier. My question: Can someone use an RDKS receiver/display unit for reading and displaying the air pressure values? the RDKS sensors already available in the factory (Schrader 433MHz, installed in Pajero Bj 2017) should be recommended? This should be possible, only unfortunately the retrofitters are silent about whether, how and with which vehicle original sensors they can be coupled / used. Thank you!

Good evening, I drive on a BMW F31 18 inch rims. On the VA are 225 and on the HA 255 tires. I would like to get for front and rear 225 tires and pack on the 18 inch rims. Is this possible or is there something to consider? Thank you in advance

Good evening, I am currently looking for summer tyres for the coming season. I need tyres of the size 235 35 19 (91 Y) What is important to me is performance, wear and noise in the order indicated. 🙂 I have looked through some tests the last few days, whereby especially the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S has crystallized out. However, the price is quite high and is about 160€ per piece. Incl. mounting I lie there at about 700€. ace (or cheaper) comparable tires, which can keep up with the Michelin tire with the above criteria? Or should I just bite into the sour apple? Another question I would like to ask: are tyres with the above dimensions all XL? Does the XL marking bring me advantages? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have to drive by car from Munich to southern Spain before mid-March. So now I am unsure how the snow situation on this route is…important is this because I actually want to drive with summer tires because I will stay in Spain for half a year.. Does anyone have experience with this ..do I still need winter tires at this time? And if from when on I don’t need any more? What do you think about the option to drive with all-weather tires? -actually I’m not a big fan davo n…greater fuel consumption and driving down these will also reach with the mileage I will travel on… You can see my route in the appendix..thanks already for replying! PS: gladly still suggestions for improvement for my route

Hello! Since my search via the SuFu (and also a general search via Google) did not provide the desired results, I would like to start another request before the KBA is asked. So, I am looking for ABEs or parts reviews for two rims from SMC. 1. SMC “358 D 85019”, 8.5 J x 19 H2, ET 35, LK is probably 5/112 (not 100% safe) 2. SMC “358 D 10019”, 10 J x 19 H2, ET 35, LK also probably 5/112, but as said not quite safe The rims should be on a Mercedes CLK 230 Ko mpressor, from the 208 series, year of construction is AFAIK ’99. “Tested” the rims were already, LK skins out, general fitness probably too. Thank you in advance! PS: “RacerNini” and “mk_1975” I already wrote to. RacerNini does not register and mk_1975 does not have the CD with the SMC reviews any more. So you can skip them on your tips, thank you or you manage to activate RacerNini…

Hello together! Two years ago, I bought 4 new winter tyres for an Audi A3 (Yokohama W Drive V903 205/55 R16 91H). Unfortunately, one of the tyres has been broken and since the tyre model is not available anywhere else, I had to dodge on another model of Yokohama (Yokohama W.Drive V902A 205/55 R16 91H). The new tyre is in contrast to the old one not tied to the running direction. The 3 “old” tyres are still in a great condition, which is why I do not like a second one. Would it be better to drive the individual “new” tyres on the front axle or on the rear axle? Thank you very much in advance!

Hi guys, I’m deliberately looking for a strong tire except conti, Goodyear, Dunlop,Michelin and Pirelli. Why? Because I don’t put my money in this big company’s pocket and suspect that the test reports are bought. That’s what all tyre companies would say for years that they just don’t know about tires. The following features must have a sporty design, good on NÄSSE, STARK on dry road, braking characteristics as well as on dry road and Nasser road must be short. Vredestein, Kumho, Matador, Hankook, toyo, yokohama, nexen, maxxis, firestone, bridgestone. Which is the right one for my needs. Mfg Tom Edit vehicle is a Ford Focus mk3 tournament

Hi, I’m currently looking for (new or good used) summer rims for my Audi A8 4E 4.2 Quattro, BJ 2003 and my summer tyres 255/40R19. Photos of my vehicle see appendix (I’m afraid I don’t have any better and more up-to-date photos at hand; what’s reflected so strongly in my vehicle is the building behind me; moreover, the vehicle now has a double pipe exhaust of Supersport on each side, in the photo is still the old one. Since my current Barracuda Voltecs 8.5×19 ET30 have a paint problem, I would use the Barracudas as winter tires, because you can’t see the cracked clear paint in rain and in bad to normal weather without a strong sun at all. As winter rims the Barracudas are still good in my opinion. But for the summer I’m looking for new suitable rims that fit on my vehicle. I’ve already looked at some, but I’m still unsclü i don’t know how it is with the quality of the rims. i picked out the following rims: Tomason TN15: click me BBS SR: click me BBS XA: click me BBS CX-R: click me – which of these rims do you like optically (without considering the possible quality) best or would fit well with my vehicle? which one do you like optically least? – is the Tomason rim qualitatively a whole corner worse than the BBS rims, or is the quality I don’t necessarily have to have premium quality, but I also don’t want cheap rims for my vehicle. As a manufacturer, the TÜV-certificate of the Tomason rim includes a rubber-verwertungs GmbH. That sounds completely funny. How is the experience in terms of durability? Thank you for your help!

Hello, I would be interested to see what this looks like if you have your tyres stored. Do you get a report from the dealer, for example, that the condition of the rims/tires is noted? After the tyre change I had to notice a scratch in a rim of the summer tires. However, I can’t remember that it was already in before the winter. At Mercedes I got a storage protocol with condition, profile depth etc. That was actually very good. At VW I have sow Should you insist on it? How are your experiences?

Hello, I have lost the key of the rim lock from our Polo. The locks are not original VW, neither the manufacturer nor the number we have. All the workshops I have called, say there only helps crack open. Maybe someone has a tip? (to buy a similar one from Ebay, or is there universal for it?) Greeting!
