It was just outside that I got something, at my job a lot of busy road passes and there was freezing rain. You oh you 2-3 min and 4 driving accidents. And you’ll laugh what it was like: Ridgon Winter profile Summer tire Stunner (never heard but no matter) the other profiles looked like summer tires, I couldn’t see any more, but I didn’t want to look closer through and after the name. Somehow that confirms me again, the rich Tige tires to the right weather is just better! Greetings And of course driving appropriately, look out of the window, one goes to the left, then to the right, you can see it slightly smoke what it probably has on it for tires. Less gas sometimes brings more.

Hello! Will I soon buy all-weather tyres (not so easy to find than 205/45/16). My question now is, which markings on the tyre flank must be embossed. On the one hand I read “with M+S marking”, on the other there must also be a snowflake on it… What is the truth? Which markings must be on it so that in the case of mallus I cannot be accused of using unsuitable tyres in the event of an accident in winter? LG AlexRK

Moin Moin! My treasure wants to/must go to Bavaria next month, the car in question only has summer tyres. I am in favour of buying a set of winter tyres, but well. My treasure says that we should not throw the money out of the window, because the box will not come through the HU in January 2010 anyway, besides, you can drive more carefully. The question is now: If so the car hinders others or even something happens because of the summer bikes (I don’t go from Personal damage, that would be terrible), what do I have to reckon with? My name is in the papers.

Hello, I hope I have no mistake in thinking, here is a calculation example: Let’s take a tire with 2.5 bar filling pressure, together with the ambient pressure of 1 bar (1013mbar air column) are therefore 3.5 bar absolute pressure in the tire. Furthermore, it should be clear that the ambient air already contains 78% nitrogen. In the tire with “nitrogen filling” are: 1.0 bar with 78% nitrogen 2.5 bar with 100% nitrogen Power 328:3.5 = 94% For a 100% nitrogen filling the tire would have to be an air conditioner is evacuated, has anyone ever seen it? In a tire with 2.5 bar filling pressure and chargeable nitrogen filling are therefore at most 94% nitrogen, in a tire with normal ambient air but also 78% nitrogen. Do you really notice the difference between 78% and 94% nitrogen filling, only 20% more? mfg chris

I live in the flat Lower Saxony. No resin, no mountains. There’s no more real winter, sometimes a few days of snow and smooth, that’s it. Had always winter and summer tires separated, but have bought me now all-year tires, for the front axle of Golf 2. Can you say, or, at today’s mild temperatures, pure winter tires no longer make sense, in the lowlands? You can also neglect the fuel consumption? What do you mean, what do you use whole years? I’m looking forward to your philosophies…in terms of tyre choice. Do you also have to make it dependent on the car? Old car..New car…Delicate drive…Small car… I bought for my old Golf 2, quite cheap all-year tires myself, unfortunately also some that did not perform well in the test;( unfortunately too late read. Hot Kumho Solus Ha 31.. Maybe you can write me something, how you have to see the thing or should. .

Hello Motor-Talker. More and more people are interested in all-year tyres and buy various products of this range. I always asked myself why Continental does not offer all-year tyres? Then I came across the following article: Tyre test There it says: “Looking at the balance of performance of the two tyres, the Nokian is in fact the better winter tyre, and the Continental the better all season tyre. The results of the Auto Express all season tyre test, due next we ek, will make for interesting reading!” So Continental has a “full-year tire” on offer, which is even better than the test winner according to this test. In short: The TS 860 is better than the test winner Nokian Weatherproof. Which is more a winter tire than a whole-year tire. Greetings Bthight

Hello, I need your advice. When changing wheels, I noticed that one of our Hankook winter tyres (DOT 2714) was flat (0,35 bar residual pressure). I was able to verify a pressure loss of approx. 0.5 bar / day by filling up several times. Today I am then to the tyre dealer (Euromaster), unfortunately the cause was not found there, it was probably not on the valve. Since the tire sowiso had only 5mm profile and I currently have little time, I have closed two new Goody I now have to decide whether I should replace the front tyres (e.g. Hankook, approx. 5.5mm residual profile, also DOT 2714) in order to have a uniform tire again. Frame data: Peugeot 308 SW Built 2010 HDI110 109 HP, 157.000 KM 205/55 R16 Driving profile: Daily Driver, approx. 25,000 KM a year, daily 60 KM in Stuttgart surroundings, sometimes side roads. In the Alps it also goes by car. In general, in front of the car still have at least I’m afraid that the remaining Hankooks will have to be replaced after the season. What would you do? Keep Hankooks or also convert the front axle to Goodyear? Best regards Mathias

Hello together, when the winter tires were raised, it was noticed that the two rear tyres (all-wheel) on the inner side have a “rille” that doesn’t belong there… Has anyone seen this before? It’s Pirelli Winter Sottozero in 225 50 r17 RFT from 2010. We wanted to use the tires after the winter because of the age in summer.

Currently I am still looking for a suitable all-year tire in the size 165/65 R14. Other Corsa B and Tigra sizes may of course also be here. I would like to ask you not to write over winter or summer tires but only about all-year tires, otherwise all will be too much! Whether a tire was bad or good, cheap or expensive, loud or quiet, bad or good in dry, wet, snow or ice…here everything can be in the thread! Durability and verb I think one or the other will find it interesting. I see the Corsa B as an inexpensive intermediate solution for my part. So I will drive about 12,000km/year and be less in snow areas. Think for the next 3-4 years the tires should be and I think good values are important for dry and wet in the summer as well as satisfactory values for snow and dry/wet in the winter. Now since you started…

Hello community, am new among the car owners and come with a maybe very stupid question, which the Internet but also research could not answer yet. I have an Opel Corsa, on which are currently summer tires with steel rims on it. I now want to make the winter tires on it, which lie in the basement, and next to it there are 4 aluminium rims. Now I thought a tire change costs so about 30 Euro, but they want now 94 Euro, which has probably to do with that, that one the Aluminium wheels have to pull on the winter wheels, right? So the second question: Can I just leave out the aluminium wheels and use the steel wheels that are currently mounted? Would that be cost-efficient? Does not want to spend 200 euros per year for tyre change. And why didn’t the previous owner of the wheels just leave the aluminium wheels on the winter wheels, then they would not always have to be refitted.?
