Servus, I bought an Audi A4 3.0 TDI Quattro (BJ. 2006) 2 weeks ago. I am very satisfied with this only ever before I still need winter tyres. The first thing that surprised me was that I had negotiated with the dealer that I would get 2 tires that run off for free 2 new ones. Once again it was said that he had to replace all 4 because I would not be allowed to drive them otherwise. I thought it was ok because I had the 2 extra tyres. Now, however, when I decide which tyres I would like to wear in the winter, I would like to add a spare bike because the patching equipment including compressors which is included in the new cars does not give me much confidence, especially because I am often several hundred kilometers away from home and because I do not want to drive home with 60km as described on the patching equipment. Now to my question: Which solution do you think is the best. I thought I would buy m for my summer tires (235/45/17 Alu) an exactly the same spare tire. For the winter then 205er 16 inch on steel rim, and as for the summer tires here also an same spare wheel. The only thing bothers me here that this solution becomes quite expensive. Would it be recommended or is it even possible that I put on the same size as in the summer and buy as a replacement bike only an all-weather tire in this size? Do I really think that I am on my quat tro ONLY 4 is allowed to drive exactly the same tires or was there the information from the dealer wrong? It’s all about me if I have to change a “plate” and then can continue as before, without speed limitation as with the “fixed” tires. Thanks already for the answers

Hi! I bought a Daihatsu YRV in winter accordingly also on winter tires test. Now I have mounted the summer aluminums and only problems at 80Km/h you can notice light vibrations in the car and the faster you drive the worse it gets and the steering wheel is wobbly. With the steel rims 185er R14 no problems at all. The aluminums are 195er 45 R15 reports available incl. registration of the distance discs of each 15mm. I have the 4 new tires and the aluminums are also But the problem remains completely fine. How can it be that you can get an expert report for such a thing if rims don’t run properly on a car. Someone might be a solution to my problem?

Hello, I parked at a construction site last night, then drove to work this morning and parked the car in the company parking lot. Then wanted to drive back home this afternoon, but was not since I had to change the left rear wheel first. There had been a splint-like pen drilled into my tire and flattened it. Here now my question: Can you fix a tire in size 205/55 R16 91V or do I have to replace it? Did the tires before two weeks ago new bought and not even 1000KM with completed. Thanks already in advance to all the answers.

Hello, I have heard from my specialist workshop that wider tyres would have been the cause of a defect of the steering gear (reversible lever and steering gear arm). As standard my car (Mitsubishi Pajero Sport) has 245/70 tyres. In summer I drive 255/55. Driving performance: 35,000 km. The repair cost roundabout 230 EUR. No warranty, no culant. Would have liked to have heard a few experiences. Is that correct and must be reckoned with? At what intervals should one use it Do you have comparable experiences? What else do you have to reckon with? LuBerti

moin.does any of you know a mature manufacturer who has NO rim protection edge on its mature? my present ripe(fulda) have this unfortunately,and find that my rim somehow disappears in the mature.and are there differences between the manufacturers from the wide from the mature? e.g. the pirelli 215 is slightly wider than the 215 dunlop (just one example)? hope you can help me with this on the jumps. lg golffi

I’m still on the road with my summer tires (because I will fly in january with the Bundeswehr in the kosovo for 4 months) for me it’s not worth it to upgrade because I am almost the whole winter away. but what I noticed is that my summer tires also have super grip in winter. I have often made conscious brake samples and determined that the vehicle does not slip or break out, so I thought that the winter tires might only shine with snow (I am not able to we don’t need to talk about it, because I don’t trust anyone to mature there). please tell me if I think right or if it would make sense to upgrade even though the summer tyres have stop… thank you love greetings PS:is my first winter with a car, have no winter experiences. oh, well, what I know is the insurance technology is not the best but that’s not my question, please don’t keep any pre-conducted to this topic 😉

Hello! I have to think slowly about which winter tires I get (235/40/18 come to the summer rim). After the tyre tests I found so there are Dunlop Wintersport 3D and Continental 830 P (810 S) quite far ahead. Dunlop I drove last winter on a different car in 205/65/15 and was very satisfied with it. Continental is also very recommendable, I have always driven in summer and was very satisfied. I wanted a I have read in an ADAC test that the Dunlop should have more wear than the Conti (810), Michelin should also be very durable. Here I have read somewhere that the Conti should wear more than Michelin and thus almost the same as Dunlop somehow contradictory…. What experiences have you had? At Conti I would tend to tend to the 810 S, although the older one is (I think….) or what is recommended?

Hello guys, a few weeks ago I bought a Touareg with the tire size 285/35- 22 inches and have a question.Is there a professional among you or a motor-talk user among us who also drives the same car with the tire dimension?Can you please write me what air pressure I can drive or should?!The friendly one near me had 4.2Bar in the rear and front of the tires and that is defensively too much of my opinion!! In my opinion, the 3bar in the front are too few. Or can you recommend me links where you can ask for the airfruck. That was the case with the kumho tyres of my convertible that I had. Well, I am very much at the right air pressure from which I also control more often, but unfortunately I don’t know the right one and hope for your help. Have a nice weekend for all of you.

Meal, the question arises again and again as in the subject…the answers to it usually: a) The workshops and popular opinion: The better forward b) The opinion of the traffic clubs, ADAC etc., the better backward, because they hold the rear axle in the track, or a push over the front axle is easier controllable than a breaking tail. Purely from the driving behavior, variant b is obvious for me, however, how can it be seen when braking, or closing. Is the question in which area you should put the weighting?. Are there any known experiences/examinations? Personal opinions are of course also welcome. Greetings

Hello, I have a stupid question. My dad got a omega a. With (according to the seller) summer tires. However, it is on the tire M&S. (where I mean to have heard that the nothing has to be ironed) But there is no symbol with this snowflake in the triangle or circle (know grad net which of the two symbols is normal) The tires are also direction bound, which is typical for winer tires, but does not necessarily indicate that it is WR with another picture of the profile, so I think that there is no WR there. But I am grateful for every advice. MFG Marcus
