Hello together, I have a question about signs of wear. I had used ALU rims at an online auction house 2 (were offered in each auction), because my wife had at some point taken a blow into a rim. Since the rim is supposed to cost about 300 euros, it was obvious to look for a used rim. The rim was offered with traces of use and light curb scratchers. Furthermore it was written that all rims (he had to This time 3 rims run in 3 individual auctions, all with the same text.) would have the same condition. In addition, he wrote in that it is a private sale, and the goods cannot be taken back. In addition, there was a photo, on which a clean rim was recognizable. The 2 rims arrived at me. Packaging was fine and undamaged. When unpacked the first surprise. Completely dirty, as if they were lying around unpacked for a while. After the pure I discovered on a rim a blow (delle) on the outer shoulder, which then arises when you drive very quickly over a curb edge (or similar obstacles). I think that this rim no longer needs to be mounted, which is to assume that the rim may break under load. Now I wanted to return the rim (so rewind it), since I think that such a blow has nothing to do with “normal traces of use”. In addition, I wanted to give back the rim (so rewind it) because I think that such a blow has nothing to do with “normal traces of use”. he is not mentioned in the auction text. So he actually sold me a rim which has nothing in common with the rim offered in the auction. The carcass now stands up and refers to the excluded withdrawal…. To this he says, I could have asked if the rim was in order. At the auction house there is a pass that one can return an auction if goods and description do not agree, although the sales have excluded this. Daz u still stands, that one has to accept with used goods a condition which corresponds to a normal use. So quite simply the question : is a blow in an aluminium rim with visible deformation a “normal traces of use” Thanks already in advance for your answers. Greeting roland

Hello, I know that’s not the right offtopic now, but I didn’t know where else to put it… So my question: Can you switch to “D” to start with squeaking tires without thinking (I’m talking about the gearbox, not about the mature ones) with an automatic on the selector lever position “N” and just switch to “D”?

Hello people, ride at the moment special car bike 7.5Jx16H2 ET35 type DC 756 manufacturer Rial, with down to 205/55/R16 winter ice. Would like to ride next summer on the or another 7.5 x 16″ rim down to 225/50/16″ tires, so that a change of the tires from rear to front is possible. However, in the annex report these combinations are not provided, see excerpt report below table. Why does the cross section of the tire on the rear axle change at all? This changes the total cross-section in comparison tires front axle vs tyres rear axle? Don’t I understand, please help! front axle rear axle No. 1 185/50R16 205/45R16 No. 2 195/40R16 215/35R16 No. 3 195/45R16 215/40R16, 225/40R16 No. 4 195/50R16 205/45R16 No. 5 205/45R16 225/40R16 No. 6 205/50R16 225/45R16 No. 7 205/55R16 225/50R16, 245/45R16 No. 8 205/60R16 225/55R16 No. 9 215/40R16 225/40R16, 245/35R16 No.10 215/50R16 245/45R16 No.11 215/55R16 235/50R16 No.12 225/40R16 245/35R16, 255/35R16 No.13 225/50R16 245/45R16 No.14 225/55R16 245/50R16 No.15 225/60R16 245/55R16 looks the same for other reports on the subject: special car bike 7.5Jx16H2 type MAM2-7516 manufacturer Mays GmbH *see here* Interest me for these tyres *KLICK* are indeed ZR tyres but look great from the profile. alternatively there would be *KLICK* or here *KLICK* the latter but rather less.

Hi, I’m in this forum for the first time today and I’m looking for advice on all-weather tyres on this way (but unfortunately I haven’t found the right one here). Since I have currently mounted the summer tyres, but I have to replace both rear wheels for the winter tyres, I have finally enough of constantly changing the tire sets! Therefore I want to get a good set of all-weather tyres and would be grateful for opinions and/or tips! My background : I drive a Golf IV, 2002 BJ, 75 HP, current tyres are a set of summer and winter tyres (alu- or steel rims). In the vehicle license it says: 195/65R15 91T. I drive 90% in a big city without big height differences daily to work, but can also work (i.e. if it snows properly) from home or on bus/train, so I do not depend on the car. Which tyres are recommended? What would you advise me to do in general with an all-weather set? I’ve already Googled something and found out that the “M+S” identifier as well as the snowflake symbol should be important. The legal situation seems to be unclear or very stretchy in the event of an accident in winter with all-weather tires — or am I wrong? Which online shops are serious about tyre orders? Questions about questions … 🙂 Greetings!

Hello everyone. Since 2008 I have a Mercedes B (with sports package and 215/45 R17 tyres), driving little, mostly city. In December, at mileage 11000 (!!) the tyre dealer (with whom I buy winter tyres) explains to me that my summer front tyres (ex-factory) have driven completely and absolutely have to be replaced. Couldn’t believe it, but I’m sure he didn’t just want to turn on new tyres. Already now that Mercedes will tell me that the wear is normal u And I’m not sure yet if I’m going to fight for it. I’m looking for a summer tire now and I don’t know which one to choose (tire tests are usually not available for the corresponding size). Safety and less wear (!!) are more important to me than price (although it’s not important). Can anyone recommend something to me? I don’t know if I need Runflat tyres (have a spare wheel). I don’t know if I can or should change to another tyre size ( but probably I would have to replace the other two summer tires as well), but if someone has an opinion about it, I would be happy to hear about it. Thank you!!!

Hello first of all, oh man.. I have no idea about cars and now have a maybe somewhat embarrassing but urgent question: I have tyres and rims at home – but don’t know if the two of them fit together. 😉 My tyres: 235/40/ZR17 and my rims – yes, there’s nothing on it, BUT the following winter tires are mounted on them at the moment: 225/45/R17 Do you think that my summer tires fit on my rims??? Please urgently for answers. el/assembly date and would like to know beforehand if everything is going smoothly. Not that they still laugh at me from the workshop… 🙂 THANK YOU!

Good morning, municipality. I have (again) a problem with my rims (BBS RZ 370) Unfortunately I got the idea that the rims were produced for Opel and not, as the previous owner had actually told me, for VW. As a result they have a smaller center hole diameter of 56.6 mm instead of the 57.1 and therefore do not fit on it of course. Now someone offered me, that the rims can be clamped on the lathe and the 0.5 mm can be turned off easily. However, m I suspect that a decrease would not be possible if the examiner could find it. 2. To what extent would the rim be affected by the stability of the rim in terms of tearing, rupture ect. Would be nice if someone knew about it and could tell me something about it (but please without – DU,DU,DU and raised index fingers ) Aja and I could use the original VW wheel bolts (Kuelbund) if the rim had its own h is designed for cone bundle screws or would there be any problems? Sorry for so many, probably “bold” questions but in terms of rims and so I really am an absolute greenhorn. Greetings, Jörg

Have a question. With my new summer tire 225/40-18 it is like that they have about 7.5-7.9mm profile depth in the middle. At the inside, however, the profile runs out obliquely. In other words, there I measured only 3.5mm. Due to the lowering, there is always a little more wear in the inside, which is certainly also normal. So let’s assume that the tire runs down normally (in the middle, outside, inside the same), i.e. everywhere 3mm wear, then the tire would be on the inside (where only 3mm wa The profile is measured in the least place,or ? So then about 4,5mm in the middle and inner edges would be 0,0mm blank tires off into the garbage. That can not be right? FG

Hello, I would be happy about your tips regarding the tyre change. I currently have the following tyres and am not sure if I should drive the one more summer. Audi A4 Avant TFSI 1.8 Summer tyres: Dunlop Sport 225-50-17-94-Y Profile depth front axle: 4mm and 3mm Profile depth rear axle: 7mm Dealer wrote something like tires no longer sufficiently on the storage slips. Colleagues however said 3mm is still enough for a summer. What do you think? I drive with it every day at work but there s is city traffic and about 20km back and forth. Thank you for your tips.

For some time now one of my Pirelli P6 tires has been losing about 0.2 bar per week. That’s not bad, but it could get unexpectedly bad… If I drive to the tyre dealer and tell him that, he will certainly laugh at me, because he probably can’t do anything but change the tires. However, I would like to, if possible, let air loss “repair”. What possibilities are there?
