Profile design of sports tires—> which one has the most attractive styling ever?ß Hello, The profile design should certainly be decisively determined by the look..but nevertheless also a tire can have a visual touch or styling what likes or just displeases which one is your favorite tire in terms of optical appearance or design…is there or was there with you a classic that you have especially closed into the heart??? with me there are 2 candidates… the ”first” ( Ur) Pirelli P7 who was the first (real) wide tire furore but also influenced an entire generation of tires with his profile, but I find the current one rather failed. As well as the Dunlop SP 9000 which in my view best implemented the V-profiles… the current groove profiles as e.g. with the Conti Sport II I find on the other hand externally fad… mfg Andy

What do you think about so NoName tires? On the internet you find a lot of good things about it, but can it really be?http://ssl.delti.com/…/rshop.pl?… Bzw. asked the other way: I drive a 230 HP front-driver and need 225/40R18 tires. I just drive this car in everyday life. I don’t want to move to a race track and also not the car in the border area. But just “to drive”. If I look for the special forum now, I will only meet the freaks that you Aut And they certainly recommend Michelin and Conti etc. But does it really have to be a brand name? Can you also recommend other tyre manufacturers to me? Greet Peter.

Hi there, I want to have the wheels (on the vehicle) finely balanced with my Mercedes CLS C219. I have just been having vibrations / imbalance with different wheels and tires for a long time and I want to try this out now. I don’t want to go into the reasons at all. Anyway, it’s not so easy to find a workshop that does this at all. A Euromaster branch even told me that this is not possible for vehicles with ABS/ESP. Quote:… an El Ectronic fine balancing can no longer be carried out on today’s vehicles, since the wheels on the vehicle have to be driven individually, which can cause errors in the fault memory for ABS and possibly installed driving stability programs. Is this really true or is this just an excuse why this work does not offer? How much should fine balancing actually cost so that I have a benchmark? Greeting Tomekk S.

Hello, my winter car I got new Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance winter tires. They were mounted by my tyre dealer in the evening. In size 215/45/17 also not quite cheap. When I looked at the tires in daylight the next day, I noticed that they are covered all around (running area and flank) with about 1 cm long nipples. My dealer said that these were residue from the production, which would normally be removed. The company Goodyear addressed this question. thought it was technologically conditional and at least no shortage…. On the tread the nipples are probably running off, probably not on the flanks. Only the scissors remain…. I see something like this for the first time after 25 years of winter tires. Did I miss something or are Goodyear tires basically so badly processed?

Hello, short story before I come to my questions and the pictures. We have a new car since July and we had at my dealer 16′ winter tires stored on steel rims. Since the 16′ steel rims no longer fit on the new car we agreed with the dealer that he would exchange us used 17′ aluminium rims with winter tires for our steel rims. Today then the winter tires were pulled on and one of them looked pretty broken. See pictures. My questions: 1. Dar f one even with such a broken tire still drive still, or is it safe for us? The dealer only said: “That’s okay.” We honestly don’t feel really comfortable with the thing. 2. What would the repair of this rim damage cost about, if the dealer doesn’t repair it by itself? Thanks already for your help.

Hello, after I have found nothing about the search: How is the current level of knowledge about winter suitability and mileage in contrast to tyres with H or V marking? Specifically Conti TS 850 P in 225/55-17 for 5 BMW F11. Thank you and greeting, Hans-Nils

I would like to buy winter tires. I decided for the glue Krisalp HP 3 235/50 R18 101V. I currently have Bridgestone summer tires on it (235/50 R18 97V). Now I want to pull the winter tires on the same aluminium rims. But I don’t know if the glue Krisalp fits on it. I couldn’t find any markings on the rims, but I found the model with the marking on the internet: Suitable for the tyre size 235/50 R 18 97V rim size: 7,5J x 18 ET 41 Hole Circle: 5 x 115 How do I find out if the glue tires fit on it?

Hello, I’m afraid that I’m the 1000th who asks such a question, but in all other threads I’ve never found the answers to my questions. It’s about the following: Have 4 alloy wheels in size 16 inches with tyres (195/45) here, which should be sent (actually to the neighbouring EU country but that’s not to be paid. That’s why to an address in Germany). As I have read so far, Hermes is supposed to be at the Cheapest. Does anyone know? Do I still need 4 cartons or can I send the tires like that? Or is a carton better because of possible damage? Would be really super nice if someone could tell me something about it! Thanks already in advance!

Hello I am facing a small question where I can’t get any further. For my V70 III D4 (key numbers 9101 / ANT) I need a new set of winter tyres. Should I now take winter bikes in 205 width or 225 width? Model is second-ranking for the first time and should not be discussed, but it will be either the Nokian WR D3, Michelin A5 or Pirelli Sotoz. Living on the mountain (about 350m height), sometimes have a lot and sometimes less snow and drive to the Kitzbühl at the end of December. He Alps. Thank you very much

Hi, I bought a new car, which comes on 235/40 ZR19 summer tyres. Now I wonder how I can get the best of winter tyres. As I see it, I could either buy winter tyres in the same dimensions, which would of course be more expensive, but save the money for the rims. Or narrower, smaller winter tyres (which dimension would make sense?) — for the time being — buy on steel rims. But then at least in the long term the price of LMF added.. Which option would be more economical? Of course, I want to save the least on the tires themselves.
