Dear community, please look at the picture, unfortunately I got a high curb this morning, so that a good centimeter of rubber is missing sideways (about 1 good mm deep, almost directly at the rim). It is about 18 ́225. After 12 hours now no air seems to have escaped. Would you just drive on, or buy a new one immediately? Unfortunately he was not yet old… Thanks for the help!

The car magazine published the first winter tire test of the season on page 88 in its issue 20/12 of 12.09.2012. Tested on a Ford Focus 1.6 EcoBoost (150 hp) eight tyres of the size 205/55 R16 H. Here are the order with points in succession snow, wet and dry (max. 150 points) 1. Conti WinterContact TS 850 134 – 129 – 125 = 388 2. Nokian WR D3 141 – 114 – 115 = 370 3. Goodyear UltraGrip 8 128 – 123 – 110 = 361 4. Dunlop Winter Sport 4D 129 -117 – 114 = 360 5. Michelin Alpin A4 122 -115 – 115 = 352 6. Pirelli Snocontrol Serie 3 118 – 122 – 108 = 348 7. Vredestein Snowtrac 3 120 – 113 – 109 = 342 8. Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 105 – 111 – 107 = 323 All inclusive with the exception – once again from Bridgestone – good performances.

Hello people, and I have the possibility to get very cheaply to a set Uniroyal mature. Vehicle: Suzuki Swift 1.0i MA EZ: 14.01.1997 The matures which are mounted at the time are too old (<8 years). In the vehicle letter the size 135R13 is indicated, so should actually also 145/80R13 fit or ? Mounted are at the time 155/70R13. Who can bring light to confusion ?

Hello, I’m just writing this now because I’m relatively baff (so astonished) and wanted to know if there was someone out there, in the expanses of the Internetze, for whom this is an “old hat”: We bought 16 inches of Magma aluminium rims for our new Skoda 6 (type Celsio). After the assembly, the tires stood two days in the workshop before the vehicle was to be re-tired. At the same time, one tyre had less pressure (2.0 instead of 2.6 bar) than the rest. Venti tested t, without any findings, air was refilled and observed since it was suspected that maybe too little was filled in. But after 2 days there was too little air in it again. Then we started to examine the wheel and when we just threw the whole part into the water the culprit revealed himself: the rim has a microfine hole in one place … at the material strength one has to speak more of a channel, through which the air flows very slowly. s has never come under me so far and therefore the question: to you perhaps? Greetings Matthias

Hello, short question on the holiday, since I am dealing with new rims: Is it right that theoretically an 8×17 rim would have to be less comfortable than a 7.5×17 and 7×17 rim as the tire, 225/45-17, “straffer” is stretched over the rim and thus sit flatter on the rim. Sometimes not considering whether you notice this in everyday life !?! Thank you for your assessment ! Greeting to All

I’m currently driving the Conti Sport Contact 5, which was the test winner in the current ADAC test. However, the rolling noise seems quite loud to me. However, I’m also a bit sensitive to the topic. I’m annoying something like that. Now the engine and wind noises are quiet, but you can hear the tyres clearly for that. 😉 In the test, the tyres don’t seem to give much in terms of comfort/roll-off noise. Nevertheless, the question. Can someone recommend a quiet tyre to me in the dimension? Edit: T Itel revised

Hello, as some from the X2 thread already know, I ordered an X1 today. It will be a winter vehicle with all-wheel drive (X1 xdrive25e). Delivery time is 11/12 2020, but I thought I’m already around WR. A popular topic on motor talk I’ve taken the X2 times in the title, I think what applies to the one also fits the other. I don’t ask now the stupid question if with an all-wheel also the SR is enough. I definitely don’t want to drive with snow and need to mature with a snowflake, quite officially WR. That’s clear. 225/55 R17 97 W is right? Costs in the net so good 50 to 120€. Cheap actually. There are also all-year tires with snowflake, which lie at about 100€ to 150€. You can think about that, I don’t want to change anyway, I will ride season marks, large too big 6 months for the winter. But also there are many months to be warm for pure WR, still hardly worth changing? So then all-year mature n? On the other hand, the “real WR” in the snow is better then? I didn’t see stubble tires, I suppose that’s not recommended. (maybe not allowed at all, or technically possible, no idea) If someone has made this absolutely write! I know the X1 is not a safari car, but I will drive “oefter mal” field paths and meadow. Most of the time however, landstr. (mostly calculated by km) highway almost not at all. w Ps.: if someone gives a hab smoking wheelset he can tell me.

Hello dear forum, I have on my BMW 330d from 2013 (F31) the original BMW rims styling M 400. First they were mounted 4 summers, then 4 winters. I admit that I don’t care for special light well or often clean (tuga aluminum devil green). But it can’t be normal that rims, which are marked as “winter suitable” after 4 winters are already so rotten and defective: varnish bursts large area, yellow and black discoloration, bubble formation,… -> Images s Is this “normal” for Aluflegen after 4 winters? Is the quality of the BMW rims bad? Is it the rare cleaning? (“Winter rims” have to cope with brake dust and salt?!?!?) The rims can no longer be saved. But I think about which rims I will drive in winter in the future. Thank you for your brief assessment.

Moin! My previous winter tyres are “porous/cracky” according to my storage protocol and already a few years old. I don’t know if from 2011 or 2012. In any case, new tyres are supposed to be here, because the grip is no longer the best. My question is whether I should use all-weather tyres or winter tyres in the future in the winter season. The tyre types are already clear: Dunlop Winter Response in 195/65R15 91T and Goodyear Vector 4S in 195/65R15 91H Both cost according to list 78,50 € per piece. I haven’t asked my tyre dealer yet. The price plays a minor role. The question is based on the fact that the winter tyres are better in ice and snow, but have the better characteristics away from ice and snow All-year-round tires. The last years we did not have any real winter here in the area of Weser-Ems. Last winter we had some frosting on one day, the year before although a few days snow, but that was always already running off the roads he, if I had to go there. What do you mean? All-weather tyres or winter tyres for the winter half year? In the summer half year I would definitely stay with summer tyres.

Hi, I drive a BMW E90 325i with mixed tyres (front 225/40 R18, rear 255/35 R18). Currently I have Bridgestone Potenza S001 on it, but I am rather dissatisfied with the tyres especially because of very loud running noise. Since on the rear axle the wear limit is slowly reached I now want to switch to another tire, but not necessarily throw away the front one (still a good 5mm profile). On Friday I (possibly a little rushed…) at the local the tyre dealer ordered the Apollo Aspire XP for the rear due to the good test reports and got an appointment for the assembly on Wednesday. However, I have doubts now if the Apollo is the right tyre, although it is not really very sporty (but also not very slow ), if the train is free at night however, I still have no desire for a tyre pitcher at 200kmh upwards or similar. Now the question, how would you proceed? The Apollo Experim alternatively take a Goodyear Eagle Asym 5? Do you not like to buy a complete set of premium tyres at the moment, if there are problems due to the different profiles… Or again a potenza on it, live with the rolling noises, but an otherwise quite solid tire, which also fits the profile at the front? I would be very happy about some opinions and advice (also other tyre suggestions), thank you very much!
