Hello guys, I have a question about which I need your opinion. And I need new tires. At the moment I still have 2 winter tires Goodyear Ultragrip 8, DOT October 2011. The residual profile depth is about 4-5 mm and they are very slightly one-sided, which is why the car pulls slightly to the left when they are used on the front axle. I now stand before the choice to buy 2 of these tires and then mount the old ones on the rear axle and the new ones to the front. easy train to the left fixed (already tested with old summer tires). I wonder, however, if it is not negative for the driving behaviour at the front completely new winter tires and half worn at the rear to use. These would probably last at most one winter season. Summer tires I don’t have any anymore at all at the moment. Therefore, I think about buying new all-year tyres from financial resources to the Falken All Season AS200. These were combined with the Goodyear Vector Autobi ld test winner. What would be your choice? To combine the 2 previous winter tyres with new winter tyres as described or to buy more than 4 new all-year tyres. It is important to get through the winter season now, since I don’t know how long I drive the car anyway. However, there is also a holiday trip to Spain, where it is not so hot there anymore and it can get sensitively cold on most of the track at night. Last year would be The basic question is: What’s better? Combine 2 new and 2 old winter tires or a new set of premium all-year tyres? Thank you for your answers, Best regards, Robin

I know it’s a serious matter to mention the term all-year-round tyres in a forum full of experts. That’s why I’m just asking if tests are known, I’d like to read something. So in general, you know, there are good and bad tyres, as well as expensive and cheap ones. So I get it, with all-weather tyres there is also a “interpretation” What I mean: summer tyres are designed for summer, winter tyres for winter. All-year-round tyres, on the other hand, ko Some even tend towards winter or some direction towards summer. Some even towards open/offroad. It would be unwise to get the wrong maturity for your own application, so I’m looking for tests. What I’m looking for is: W speed index (up to 270), runflat, 225/50/R18 According to my previous knowledge, there is no such maturity. So I’m going to have to take a “slower” up to 240km/h and do without it. (but that’s another topic) “interpretation” direction winter, I will only drive it in winter, but hope to get a better tuning for the transition time than for a pure winter tire. That’s the thought behind it. I know in the april it snows and has +25C. I want to mature for that. (as long as I don’t trust in SR) willy

Hello, I just wanted to ask how important expensive premium tyres are for you in the summer. I personally have never been on “Billigriff” before and can hardly assess to what extent this is noticeable on the road. I know, the test reports speak a clear language, however, these are also only extreme situations with trained drivers, as “tire loan” I would simply say that the driving skills of the driver are a little more important than the brand of the tires… In winter this is not a very clear thing for me, because I will never get anything else in the house except a quality tire…But how is it in summer? If you look at the price differences, sometimes you get really bad and not rarely it is that you pay half of the money alone for the name of the company. I guess in the year about 20,000 new KM come to the clock, of which about 3/4 are driven in the city, therefore I am I’m really thinking about getting a cheaper version, with a complete set of r18 rubbers this (if you compare the cheapest and the most expensive tires) easily 400€. What do you think about it, or what are you talking about?

Hello! We have moved our Suzuki Grand Vitara, 20 years edition, V6, built in 2008, to Mongolia. Our tyres are absolutely exchangeable. In the letter of that time it says that we are allowed to drive in Germany 215/70 R16, 225/65 R 17 or 225/60 R18. Which rims we have, unfortunately, I do not know, could not find any lettering, but are still the original rims. There are zzt. however only 235 tires. If it were possible for the safety-wise on the existing rims wehnen? Legally it wouldn’t be a problem and we don’t really care about the look. Since the roads – if they exist – are very bad, the tyres have to endure a lot. Can someone help me? Unfortunately I have no idea… Thank you in advance!

Which of the tires online dealers carry copies from current production? What is your experience? My online search results in the following results: reifendirekt.de – rather not reifen.com – rather not reifen Schreiber – yes reifentiefpreis.de – yes Is this in line with your practical experience (where it is true)? Some of the remaining dealers seem to be somehow connected to reifendirekt.de. At least the tire search engine is the same. irem price (not covered) and tyres from current production I ask you here to refrain from discussion about current jurisprudence regarding the permitted age of new tyres.

Hello, I had our passat on Monday in the inspection (VW dealer). When I picked it up again, the service consultant told me that the flank is damaged at the front left. Does anyone have an idea like this could have happened? I may have the wash road suspected. There is such a band on which one is pulled and the guys sometimes misrepresent. I also do not want to exclude 100% that the damage in the car dealership has occurred. Basis to prove this – I didn’t check all the tires before. Maybe someone knows the damage picture. I’m surprised to see the peeled-off surface in “X” optics. Besides that, we can see longitudinal cuts/cracks. Of course, I know that these are just speculations 🙂

Hello together, I hope I’m quite right in your category. Since I’m traveling manyma in Austria and they always wanted to have this chic sign with the snow chain obligation to get some. So far it was always without so in principle it was about doing enough of the sign and maybe the one or other slope more relaxed up Have but nothing rough before! Now I ordered and tried a set of Pewag, see pictures… As said sol It’s just for an emergency but it looks like it’s making the rims unsightly within a few meters… Do you see that the same way? Can you “underlay” something there? Has anyone ever driven by you with such a combination? Or do you have to die a dead man: steel rims or sa* expensive snow chains? And no to ski is not an option Thank you!

… I call the thread times. I’m confused: My Fiat 500 got winter tires for the first time and I bought it 185/55 R 15 and that’s the well-appreciated Dunlop Winter Response 2. I always thought the tire was quite narrow, but I thought it just seemed like it was on the small car. (it’s certainly a 185er ) Today it was quite exciting for me at the supermarket parking lot, when next to me was a Citroen C3 derivative (I think a convertible) with the same tire width, but overall higher, n like a 185/65 R 15 tire by Michelin. Please look at the photo: the Michelin of the C3 on the right is clearly much wider, isn’t it? I measured with thumb and index finger, the difference is not only visible but measurable. – can one explain that to me? Was totally surprised, I am interested in tyres, I can even assign most profiles to the manufacturers, but I can’t explain this difference with supposed equal dimensions. 4 times to see if the C3 was really 185mm wide on the right side of the picture. Both tyres are 185mm wide according to the print, no doubt. Is it because the Michelin has less profile or why is the difference so clear?

Hello, I bought for my C-Class (W203) 40mm track width (20mm per axle) incl. ABE. (http://www.ebay.de/itm/380736961025?…) Since I need new wheel screws, I have just measured my current ones. I need the following screws: M12x1.5 ball bundle. The shaft length is about 40-41mm. Is it now that I simply add the width of the track plate and finally order wheel screws with 60mm shaft length or should I safety be 56 or 59mm Does it seem a bit strange to me, because there are still track plates for my model with 30-35mm widening per side, but I can no longer find longer longer wheel screw offers. I would like to have a look at the following offer:http://www.ebay.de/itm/201205947148?… Many thanks in advance

Hello, last winter I drove my Pirelli Snowsport 210 up to 4mm. The tires were top! But at 4mm there were sometimes no lamellas to be seen and the driving behaviour was very bad on all surfaces. Is it clear that one should replace winter tires with 4mm, but how is actually the lamella depth at other manufacturers? Would like to buy me again Pirelli (Sottozero) or Michelin (Pa3) size 205/55.
