  • Winter tyres according to Appendix II 2.2

    Hello, in the above-named system is the M+S tires are winter tyres. Now the tyres with the spikes with us are also M+S tires (with an E17 (in the circle) Does that mean now when I drive to Germany I can leave the spikes on it again? I know that in Germany up to a strip (15km) to the Austrian border the use of spikes are forbidden or were. But in the new § 2 Abs 3a StVO reference is made to the EU guidelines. However, there is no exclusion from Spikes tyres! These are M+S tyres within the meaning of Annex II No.2.2 Council Directive 92/23/EEC of 31 March 1992 and the other directives listed in Section 2 abs 3a of the StVo. I believe that there are 2 §§ in the StVo itself.

  • Warranty for tyre defects

    Hello! My car is a Mercedes Sprinter 213CDI from 11/2001 I bought a set of new summer tires last year (02.04.2011). In winter I drove with my winter kit. In the last weeks the driving behaviour of my car became always more sponge. Especially with wind. I am used to the fact that the car is wind prone, but the extra measure of the last few weeks has moved me to become presumptuous at the DEKRA. I first thought it was something at the wheel suspension but what the Examiner then showed was more than disturbing. 3 out of 4 matures have massive bulges inside and meim 4 starts it already. see pictures. Now I want to go complain next week my tires. But since now a good 13 months have passed since purchase, I would like to know if on the tire is still guaranteed. With batteries it also says, it is only 6 months. Would I be very happy about pertinent ways.

  • Runflat – offered tires for years the same?

    Hi, I’m currently looking for new Runflat tyres in 205/55 R16 V for my 120d E81. One often reads that the new generation RFT tyres are better, etc. But at the BMW dealer (and also at the online tyre dealers) I am offered tyres – at least in this tyre dimension – which have been on the market for years. For example, I have Continental PremiumContact SSR on my vehicle with DOT2007. This still exists. Another example is the Bridgestone ER3 00-1, which also seems to have been on the market since 2009. 1. Is it to be expected that if, for example, I buy the PremiumContact SSR again, but then with DOT2012, that these are exactly the same, as already my current tyres from 2007 or despite the same model designation changes take place in the tires? 2. Does anyone have experience with RFT tyres that carry the same model designation, but whose DOT are a few years apart? Maybe even especially in the Which RFT in this dimension should you buy most at the moment? Thank you very much. PS: Please don’t discuss RFT. I don’t think the comfort is bad, about 110€ per tire is also not too expensive (online) and about the wear and tear I want to get a picture of myself with new tires (didn’t have the car for long). It’s all about whether tyres that have been offered by name for years are exactly the same as before (even in my case 5) Years.

  • General tyre pressure

    Hello everyone, I wanted to ask here what it looks like with the pumping up and the tyre pressure in general. In the doors or somewhere else in the car you will find the tyre pressures with all manufacturers, do you stick to it or do you go about it minimally? Even from the point of view of fuel saving it would interest me whether one or the other has a little more air in the tire.

  • Cracks in new tires.

    Hi, I bought new tires and rims in November. These are for my summer car and were mounted on it. As the car wintered over, I was immediately pumped up to 4 bar. When I drove the tires today for the first time, I discovered cracks on all four tires on the outside. See pictures. The tires were driven by me 10km. Would you throw them down or continue driving? I worry about these cracks. The tires are by the way from Nexen and were 2018 g ==References==
