Hi guys, I wanted to register my winter rims with the Dekra yesterday (OZ Superturismo GT 17 inch). The examiner pointed out the following entry in the report. “Only tubeless tyres and rubber valves or metal screw valves with external fastening are permitted, which comply with the standards DIN, E.T.R.T.O or Tire and Rim. For vehicle versions with a maximum design speed of more than 210 km/h (Fzg.-Schein, No. 6 or approval certificate F The valves must be suitable for the prescribed air pressure and must not exceed the rim of the rim.” They are winter tyres mounted in 225/45 R17 H which are thus released up to 210. The valves are fitted with rubber valves. Do I have to have the valves converted to metal screw valves now, although the tyres are only released up to 210? It is a Golf R which is registered in the vehicle certificate at 250 km/h. I hope you can help me, but the winter is still at the door but I don’t want to have it changed if it’s not necessary. Greetings

Hello, my three-month-old car has a flat in its one-week-old winter tire. I have no spare tire in the car and since I just moved my summer tires are still 400km away in my home town. I could not discover a nail or similar in the tire so far. I don’t know anyone here who could help me and have not yet entered the ADAC or similar. What should I do best now?

Hello, last week I had 4 brand new Nokian winter tires made on my car, incl. 4 aluminium wheels. Unfortunately, on advice of my better half, at ATU. Yesterday, after about 60 kilometers driven with the new tires the front right tyre burst. The car pulled shortly before strongly to the right and then it had happened already in the middle of the highway. The tire is assured, if the aluminium rim got something, I don’t know yet. ATU does now however so , as if something like that had been completely normal and BUT THERE WAS A NAGEL DRIN…!!! On my question, where the nail is to be found in the tire, the man told me that he would surely have fallen out….AHA?????Do you find something normal after 60 kilometers? For the aluminium rim, the new assembly, the rim running over some part of it… no one comes up or better, nobody wants to come up. I just like to hear a few opinions about it. Thank you Susanne

Hello! Must have steam off. I ordered tyres from the above-mentioned dealer on 28.10 for next season. The current Goodyear Asym. 2 in the offer for:116,30€ the piece. order was also confirmed and the tire ordered! Now yesterday came this info-mail: Dear Mr. ******, thank you for your message! unfortunately we have to tell you with regret that due to a system error wrong prices were sent to our shop. For this reason we unfortunately see ourselves forced Please apologise for the inconvenience! We would be very happy about a new order from you. Sincerely – from Hannover Reifen.com That’s their problem, isn’t it? That was the last time I ordered something there! Hope the scumbag…. goes…..Ple… Sorry, had to get out! Greetings and beautiful WE

Hi. I was at a well-known tyre dealer earlier because of a complete re-tirement. Before I can use my panda I should have a new tire put on it. The current summer tires still have a good 5mm profile, but are still from 1997, the spare tire in the engine compartment even of 91. I described my usage profile to him (max. 7000km a year, rather city traffic, sometimes on country roads, almost never on the AB) and have an offer about the following whole year. 5x Nexen SB802 in 135/80 R13 incl. mounting for exactly 130€ He said the tyres were a good average, had also gained good experience with Nexen and probably quite sufficient for my requirements. Should I accept the offer? Elias

Hello, I’m new here and I have a question for tyre specialists: I drive a Ford Mondeo II (Bj. 97) with which in the letter light alloy wheels 97BG-AB with 195/60 R15 and ET 49,5 is registered. Unfortunately, these are driven down. But have still tires from the Ford Focus: light metal wheels 98AB-DA with 196/60 R15 and ET 52,5. Can I drive these without any problems on the Mondeo? At Ford, where I have already asked, they are stubborn: only what is registered in the letter can also be driven! the 3mm at the ET really so much off? I could also have the tires moved from one to the other rim. Only this 50 Euro I want to save. Greeting Paul

Hello, I have a short simple, maybe also stupid question But I don’t want to order tyres and it won’t work afterwards. So: Can I have tyres with the size 215/70 R15 mounted on my rims just as much as the 215/65 R15 I have on it right now? It’s about that I want to order white band tyres, but they only exist in 215/70 … I let myself be calculated by a program on the internet, the difference for the speedometer etc. is totally small, should be as o fit. So can you have them mounted without any problems? Would be stupid if it suddenly says it’s not possible. Thank you very much Best regards

Moinsen! Yes yes… We soon have winter and again the question “What tires for my car?” arises. Normally I just drove my tyres, which were on the car… Now no more. Last year summer tyres were on it in winter – result was: no problem. However, I did not have to drive with snow and ice and I expect more ice and snow for 2009/2010… Okay, the tyre size doesn’t matter for now BUT the rims are fixed: 15″er – either 195er/65 R15 H or 205er/6 0 R15 H should be up (speed is important, since I don’t want an ugly sticker in the interior, has now taken 12 months to remove the adhesive residue from the sticker of the dealer!!!). Now the question: which tires are recommended? Chinese tires I don’t want. Not from “hate” to the Chinese but simply for reasons of “logic” (almost all tires cut off very badly…). I don’t really pay attention to the price. I say up to about 75€/tires I will be about So, can someone recommend winter tires? Which brand? Which model? Thanks for the input in advance greetings DDD

Do you know this, if you want to change the tires yourself and which sometimes just can’t be solved? I hate that. So the screws are already loosed, but the wheel stays on it on its own and can hardly be moved! I have always handled it so that I have used such spray and kicked it from the outside against the tire until it fell off. But that can’t be it, can it? Now to the actual question: Does someone have the same problem and tip as you make the more elegant ka Don’t think that’s so great for my car.

hello together drive a golf 4 132kw 1.8t to the chassis all original. on it are original bbs 18 inches jubi also have a 30-30 chassis from h&r in it that is already registered. my examiner says to me that I don’t have to have the rims entered yet it would work that way. however I don’t trust the thing completely and my question is I have to register or not? since the golf already has stabi-like problems.
