Hello, I have a question. When I was looking for tyres, I came across an offer from King Meiler HP2 winter tires in the auction house. I was not aware that there are still such things nowadays. I can still remember well in my childhood of scolding men because the running surface had said goodbye again. At that time there was a big tyre dealer in our place and he had a workshop where he had refurbished himself. I mean that this was always a running surface Erneueru These memories I associate with the topic of retreading.. Now the question is who “outet” himself and can tell me his current!! And own experiences with retreaded winter tires. As said up to now … because my experiences with this have also been 35..40 years ago. I think the quality must have become better, in times of ISO standards and product liability a company in Germany can no longer sell so. easy scrap. Thank you

Hello, I bought a used Tiguan II with the 19 inch Auckland rims (summer tyres). I would like to buy all-year tyres now and have them covered on the rims. The current summer tyres have a dimension of 235 / 50 / R19. My question now would be whether the new tyres have to have exactly this dimension or a very slight deviation is possible? The selection of the GJR with the above dimensions are very limited.. I did not get an expert report or similar.

215-55R17 Auto Motor und Sporthttps://reifenpresse.de/…/ Goodyear back in the lead with revised UG Performance, Newcomer Bridgestone LM005 on 2nd place, good debut of the Vredestein Wintrac Pro on 3rd place 3. The old Conti 850P is still good at it, the Michelin A6 on 5th place is a bit disappointing. Pirelli unfortunately still represented with the Oldie Sottozero 3, also on HP the promised successor is not listed yet. Dioe disappointment of the test is however the Nokian WR Snowproof with catastrophic wet note A total of many tyres with wet or snow weakness

After I always had the bad luck with my last two tire sets (Fulda and Goodyear) that from the 2nd season a high rolling noise has set up, I now look for an alternative with good recommendations. Clearly, every tire hardens over time and gets louder, but please not already in the 2nd year I drive at the moment only around the 15,000 km/year and am tired of throwing away the second set of tires even though there is still plenty of profile available. Who can give me a tire e recommend that the price is as low as possible in the lower midfield, i.e. 60-80€ the piece. I still have winter bikes for the coming season, it is about summer tyres for the next year. I would like to thank you in advance! PS: The not needed tire set is stored hanging in the garage, I would like to assume that this storage is not responsible for my problem.

Hello, I would like your help or your advice! Unfortunately I did not find anything in the search function. I am looking for aluminium rims for my Audi A3 Sportback, Model 8PA, BJ 2011. Now I have found – in my view – a very good offer for the original Audi 18-inch rims Speedline, 8PO60I025AE, ET 54. The rims are offered as new (by a private person, was a classified ad) for a very good price (850,– Euro for the whole set, regular new price) with Audi 833,– per rim!). So my question: Is there any way to see if I’m somehow being tricked? The seller has made a good, very nice impression so far, but I’m stunned by why the things aren’t torn out of his hands like warm semmels. Is there a production year of the rims that you can read? If yes and they were a few years old, would this be a problem? What else could I pay attention to? Do you have tips / warnings / advice f I’m not going there alone, of course, but with my partner. Meeting point is at a gas station where he works (if I understood that correctly). He writes that he doesn’t have a bill. He would have bought it for himself 3-4 years ago, but would have bought a Mercedes and since then the rims would be lying around. Here also all the data that he wrote me off of the rims: Aluminium rims: Speedline, 8PO60I 025AE, ET 54, 7,5×18 H2, T 6, T16B, AIS 17 mg. On the pictures they also look like new (zero brake dust etc.). Would be great if you could give me advice!!! Thank you in advance and dear greetings, Nicole

Hi, I just bought a new caddy, because it had to be fast, it had to be one of the bars, otherwise I would probably have ordered all-year tyres when ordering. It was delivered with 205/55 R16 94H on 6Jx16 Alu ́s. The standard tyres in the appearance is 195/65 R15 91T Now I am thinking about how I might possibly switch to all-year tyres, or if I should get winter tyres on a second set (steel) rims. I drive only a little in h öhere regions, and with us on the Rhine there is only little snow. In addition, I have a relatively low total driving performance of approx. 9TKm per year. Advantage separate winter tyres: slightly better running characteristics in winter and in summer probably a little less wear Aluminium rims are not exposed to the road salt in winter Advantage All-year tires: cost and effort for 2x changing per year spared costs for steel rims storage of the tires no longer necessary A car driver has made me very clear about Win terpneus on the smaller steel rim. That would be such a common size, which would therefore be quite favorable (with it steel rim + Nokian WR D3 incl. assembly, valves, force and plugging for 110€/pcs=440€) In an inetshop I saw the combi incl. assembly, force, valves and delivery for still less than 100€ /4pcs (for changing then I still pay here about 20s). Can somehow not decide, what do you mean? And if, winter tires, someone knows the Nokian tires? W enn all-year tires, what’s in question? Greetings Tom

Hello Forists and professionals, I’m looking for winter tyres (yes, I’m early… I know) and since I will definitely never take advantage of the registered top speed in winter with winter tyres, I want to buy tyres that are below the index. In addition, a lower speed index significantly increases the selection of tyres. I don’t want to save on the tire, but only have a wide selection as far as possible. The registered top speed is 260k m/h. How far can I go down the index? I only know that I have to install a corresponding KLEBER in the field of view of the speedometer, that’s clear. But should I use the index to “throttle” on e.g. 210 or there are “rules” that you can only drive one or two steps per index under the registered top speed? Oh yes… the tyre size must be lt COC either 225/45R17 or 205/50R17. I don’t know what I choose, as there are no rims at the moment. The lowest load index mentioned in the papers is 91 = 615kg, the vehicle has a registered max. VA load of 1150kg = 575kg per page… if that matters. Thank you in advance!

Hi, I actually have nice BBS styling 42 rims in 18 inches for my BMW. Unfortunately, the previous owner never washed the rims or even somehow feet… How do I get the rims back in a reasonably good condition? Since they are two-piece rims, they have to be disassembled first for painting or powdering, so I would like to try to get the rims so nice again! Have already ordered aluminium devil, do you have any other good tips? Thank you

Hello, again the annual question. Now raise the winter tires or later. I have the following problem: At the moment and in the next 2 weeks it should be between 16 and 22°C. Next week I have vacation and drive to visit my parents, where also my tires are stored. I drive there about every 4 months. The tires are stored there because I can change them there with a real jack and I have the place for the tires there. Now it is still so warm but the next ma I’m not going there until Christmas. So the question, rather change now or hope that there is no snow in November and December and that it is at least over 0°C? I had bought the winter tyres only last year. Would it be a pity to drive them now. Alternative would be to take the tires and let them be stored. But that doesn’t tell me because of the storage and cultivation costs.

Hello ! My 4 summer tyres have a slight sawtooth profile on the tyre flanks, the profile depth is still 5-6mm, so still usable the parts. The rolling noise is however annoying, therefore something has to happen. My idea : Carefully cut the raised places away. My question before I snap for hours : Has anyone ever made this successful ? Sidewise change is not possible there running bound.
