  • Rim varnish dissolves

    Hello, I have problems with my Carmani 13 Twinmax rims.https://www.carmani.de/carmani-13-bright-silver/ I bought the rims in December 2018 and drove them quite normally over the summer of 2019. Over the winter they were stored in a workshop. This workshop pulled the rims onto my car yesterday. Today, however, I noticed in the sun that something was wrong with the paint. I unfortunately did not look at the rims yesterday exactly, but I already did. I don’t know what’s wrong with the paint, but that’s what it looks like all around it. It seems to me that it’s detachable. Does anyone have any idea what that might be? Is it on the paint of the rim itself or were they stored wrong?

  • Trust tyre label or adac tests?

    I’m looking for a new low-cost summer tire in size 175 65 R14 for my car. Now the ADAC test 2014 , 6 pieces are listed as particularly recommendable, and 2 have come into the tighter selection. But now I’m surprised, for example, the tyre label from the falcon has got an A. ADac tests it worse than the Hankook , and the adac better hankook only a B. Hankook Kinergy Eco K425 -> wet brakes Adac: 1,9 , tyre label wet brakes: B Falken Sincera SN832 Ecorun -> wet brake adac : 2,2 , tyre label wet brakes : A on what should the customer be able to rely now? p.s just see that the matures at another online shop also have other reviews. Since the hankook has once again only one C when wet braking.

  • OE vs. Aftermarket tires

    Always a controversial topic and rather opaque, but very interesting. Tyre Reviews has tested the difference currently in an M2 Competion. Video:https://youtu.be/-JLvNj3z3oY Regardless of the fact that you have to put a few € per tire on it for OE tyres, I find it stupid, as in this case, that the tire has not been further developed since 2015 and so you should put quite a lot of money for an old model. As far as I know, there is no white BMW. the development stages, as it is for example with Porsche with N0 to N6. What is your opinion on the topic?

  • What do complete wheels with steel rims vs. complete wheels with aluminium rims weigh at 165/60 R15?

    Some say that the steel rims are lighter, while others claim that the aluminium rims are lighter, and the third say that the difference is minimal. Everyone is right with their own measurements. This question is specifically about 165/60 R15 as the required size; we are always interested in the weight of the complete wheels (since the tyres can also be different and sometimes only fit with aluminium rims or only with steel rims). n Tyres and can – indicate the total weight as well as – whether the rim material is steel or aluminium alloy as well as – whether it is summer or winter tyres? The exact tire and rim designations are also welcome. I know the general discussions around it and do not need any general information. So who comes with “mostly”, “usually”, and the like without reference to 165/60 R15, is a dip.

  • Small cracks in the tire

    Hello you! I have just by chance noticed small cracks in the left front tire. I have no idea where these could come from, I also stuck on my curb. Drive the car only for 4 weeks, got it from my friend’s parents to drive until I buy with my own. White drive enough, how old the tires are and whether the damage was already before, really only a coincidence, that I saw it. Tell her that I should change the tires or p I drive my car every day about 20-30km in the city. Under the cracks is still rubber. Thank you! Lg Sina

  • Goodyear Allweather disintegrating

    Hello! My Mondi from06/16 ,there the front tires dissolve. Tires have now been sent in, sometimes tensed what comes around. Maybe everyone should check that with the tires times . Was pure coincidence that I saw it. Can go bad. But it’s strangely only in front of them, think through the forces ,there behind they only roll with . I’m very excited about the answer of Goodyear . Here a few photos.

  • Difference between 235/45 R17 and 245/45 R17

    Hello together, I wanted to ask if there are serious differences between the above tyre sizes. I’ve been on 235 for 4 seasons. Original were 215/50 R17. The 235ers were more direct, had better grip, looked better but they were not comfortable. This season my Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 have become really hard and very uncomfortable to drive. Despite 5.5 mm profile, curvy country roads are a challenge even in dry weather. So the tires I’m thinking about taking the 245s with the hope that they’re a little more comfortable but not spongy. What do you think? What are the advantages of the 245s? Unfortunately, the 30-40 € more per tire. (e.g. the Pirelli Cinturato P7 Blue). Thank you.

  • Which summer tires after problems with running straight?

    Last season I had problems with my new summer tyres (215/50 r17). I noticed already on the highway that the car pulls slightly to the left or right. Constant, easy correction was inevitable. Because most highways have a slight slope to the right, I had to keep up with it all the time. On the highway at low speed less pronounced, but driving with one hand was also exhausting. With the change to winter tires the spook was over at once (even in size 215/50 r17, same rims). With the winter tires the car runs completely clean on the track. Now I need new summer tires again in a few months. What do I buy in order not to have the same problem again?

  • Rims manufacture and production

    Servu’s friends of the sun hope everyone is doing well and you’ve been healthy since. can you ever recommend me a good product designer / rim designer who can create a CAD model for me? And do you have recommendations at which company you can produce, be it in Germany or abroad, of course with a focus on quality.

  • Directional tyre as a spare wheel?

    Hello, I have an intact directional Dunlop winter sports 5 and would like to put it as a spare wheel in the trunk. Problem with this: If I don’t compose now, it can only be mounted correctly on the rim for one side of the vehicle. If I have the breakdown on the other side, it turns in the wrong direction. Apart from all possible driving dynamic problems (aquaplaning by wrong direction of rotation of the tire, 1 winter tire m it 3 wider summer tires, 1 older tires with 3 new tires, …) this constellation my question: Is it possible that on a holiday trip it will break the spare tire mounted in the wrong direction of rotation after a few hundred kilometers, just because I have mounted in the wrong direction, so against the given direction of rotation? Or can it do that? LG
