Servus! Sorry, if I have missed something in the SuFu! Unfortunately, I have only come across contributions that are no longer up-to-date or not corresponding to my criteria. And I am looking for a narrow tire for a 9J x 19 rim with the dimensions 255/30 19. I have already asked Hankook, Falken and Dunlop, but only on the part of falcons get an answer. But if the tires need as soon as possible :/ In the eye I have the following tyres: Falken Azensis FK510 ( According to Falken he has a running surface of 235 and a width of 260) Hankook Ventus S1 EVO 2 (no answer yet) Hankook Ventus V12 EVO 2 (according to Hankook apparently a running surface of 229 and a width of 276 (?)) Dunlop Sport Maxx (I read that the current tires are wide) Is one of you better? Do you need a narrower one? Is there any better choice?

Hello guys, I wanted to get some opinions or advice from you. I ordered a KW coilover suspension for my vehicle at a KW base room FFM including installation. At the same time I ordered new OZ rims (in normal dimensions) for my vehicle. For both of these there is obviously a part inspection available. Since the installation had delayed by 3 weeks, I had already mounted the rims and then drove with them and asked them to do so. At the same time, please register with the TÜV at the same time, so to speak in a wash-up and to save double TÜV fees. Since in the workshop the face was already distorted and the end of the song was that I had to fetch the original summer bikes, because the KW report could only be examined with original wheels according to §19, otherwise after $21 and then I would have to lay 300-400€ for a full acceptance according to the statement from the workshop. Also a TÜV’ The original rims were then not a problem and the chassis is now registered. Then the workshop has passed to the main TÜV-Stelle in Frankfurt am Main to have my OZ rims registered. There the TÜV would have made the statement that driving tests had to be carried out with my vehicle, I would have to leave the vehicle there 2-3 days and expect about 800€! If the standard was to be found in the workshop, I would have to leave the vehicle there for 2-3 days and expect about 800€. al? For the chassis as well as the rims there is a part report from the manufacturer, but of course these refer to standard condition, and are not valid in combination. But I assume that this applies to all part reports that exist for rims and suspensions. Can’t anyone tell me that it is common practice to carry out extra driving tests. For 800€ would hardly let anyone do that? Would be really grateful for some advice 😉 Greeting Chris

Is there a dependence of the rolling comfort on the load index(LI) of a tyre (with the same tyre size and identical. Air pressure/gas pressure)? I assume that the RF tyres (tires with higher LI) have more stable flanks and more stable belt/running surface(?) . From this one might conclude that the tyres with the lower LI should offer lighter springs and thus a better rolling comfort. Is there a general connection? Are the tyres with the lower Li also lighter? If they are lighter and better “springs” should also the rolling resistance and the fuel consumption be lower (?) . If the tire with the lower Li consumes less energy , this remains e.g. with a longer motorway ride also cooler than the tire with the higher LI ? Does the tires with the higher LI give more stability when cornering at the border of adhesion ? Can the tire with higher LI with slightly lower air pressure / gas pressure be driven than in the R. with lower LI and d Amit the rolling comfort almost equal in comparison to the tyre with lower LI ? (the legal requirements to the LI and axle load as well as the percentage decrease of the Li from a best. Speed are known to me.)

Hello, with a couple of my 3 year old summer tires, (Dunlop) which were already mounted when buying the car, at the beginning of July this year, they discovered cracks on the tread when changing tyres (i.e. in the profile). The car master advised me not to have these two tires reassembled in the summer, for safety reasons. The cracks were clearly visible. In the worst case they could lead to a tyre pitcher at high speeds. I contacted my Verk affluent/retailer (another dealer, about 1.5 hours drive away) where I bought the car. He refused any replacement. He would accept no costs. I should contact the tyre manufacturer, who should check it. My question: Can the seller so simply reject any responsibility? I trust that the seller checks the tyres carefully at the vehicle check and does not install any defective or defective tyres or load them on the vehicle. t. Is in such a case really exclusively the tyre manufacturer my contact person? How is it with the burden of proof? Is there a special regulation for tires that allows the seller to withdraw himself from the responsibility? Maybe one of you has already experienced something similar or may give me some information about it. For helpful answers I would be grateful. Greetings

Hello together, I bought rims from a scrap yard, the seller said they fit on my Renault Safrane, but you didn’t, who didn’t want to take you back, the whole thing ended up in a fight. Now I want to sell the rims but I don’t know which car the rims fit.You can also check out the classifieds:LINK TO NOTE Here the information about the rims.

Hi today new summer tires were raised on the rims. the picture is supposed to show that along the whole ripen is a circa 2cm 1+cm gap to the outer edge of the rim. I am not really experienced, but it looks like wrong ripe and/or puffy. unfortunately I only found it at home. is at all 4 ripe so. a nice uniformly available gap. also looks ugly. how do you look at this? puffy at the building? I also looked at other vehicles and found none, which is it not normal? is it even dangerous or harmful to the rim or to the mature?

Hello, when I wanted to take a look at my brake discs today, I noticed that my left rear tire (about 5.5 years old, winter tires of the brand Kleber, profile still about 4.5mm, 205/55R16) has a small Macke (cut of about 4-5mm width, how deep can you not see) between the profile blocks. A photo of it is in the appendix. I wanted to ask now, if such a small Macke beheits can represent a greater risk and even to about a tyre placer o. I have always driven very tire-friendly, no curbs etc., but owns my car and tires only for a year and knows accordingly nothing about the treatment of the previous owner. So far, however, the tire has endured everything with me, high speeds/high load/high air pressure (up to 3,2bar) etc., but I do not know how new the small damage is. The tire is, as already said, a slightly older winter tire. I intended to run this still 1.5-2mm to drive (have some longer rides due to relocations during this period) and then buy all-year tires, as I will only drive about 10000km/year. If that is important, my car is a Mondeo MK3 2.0TDCI. Thanks in advance for all the answers Greetings, rejection

9. Nov., ca. 14:00 According to their HP, the Goodyear 4 Seasons 215/45 R16 is offered by minus 37 percent (137 euros). I registered there and tried to order 4 pieces –> Message: dzt. Sytem error; our employees are working on it… Approx. 1 hour later surcharge by 30% -so normal price dzt.- Order now possible. I canceled the order process in time and transferred nothing by credit card. A pure Abzock letterbox company! Hands away from this club!

Hello together, Since the winter is already almost imminent I need your help. We have as second car for my wife the BMW 316i listed below in my signature. We live in the Cologne/Bonner bay where the winter is never really strong and my wife drives with the car between 5000 and 6000 kilometers a year in the vicinity. She also drives always quite good what stands on the speed signs and on the highway also only the straight speed 130 km/h. Is that even worth driving for the needs of summer and winter tires or should I have all-year tires raised? What is worth my wife a quiet tire. Thought there at the Vredestein 195/65 R15 91 H Quatrac Lite with C / C and 68dB. What do you mean ? Summer tires ? Winter tires or all-year tires ? Thanks for your help.

Hello motor-talker! My Polo 9n3 pulls slightly to the left after the last tyre change! Now I have guesses where it might come from: 1. Got a tyre on the back right, which is one year younger than the others, since I had a tire damage one day before the wheel change last year 2. I accidentally got some oil on the brake disc at the front left. I first carefully braked this and then almost with force on an empty country road. The oil is definitely because the brake has reached its usual strength again, but maybe something has changed?!? Does one of you have any idea where this could come from and still, if you should do something against it? It bothers me rather less, but not that at the end of the season I’m standing with one-sided tires or something. Thank you for your answers! Mfg Greentea
