Hello, before I buy new rims for my 120d E87LCI EZ 04/11, I tried to clarify to what extent there are special winter rims. I once heard that winter rims have a thicker clear coat protection layer than summer rims. Also the search with Google and here in the forum has provided similar, but just no confirmation but a “I also heard”. A request from Leebmann showed e.g. that this is not true, but they also want to sell other WKR. Background is, that BMW offers in its accessory price lists for the 1 E8x only four aluminium wheels as WKR, in 7Jx17 with 205/50R17 star spokes 256 and V-spokes 141 (the two are also the only 17″er not as 7.5Jx17 for mixed tyres), in 7xJ16 with 205/55R16 only star spokes 140 and V-spokes 229, for a short time also V-spokes 255 and star spokes 151. Leebmann e.g. (but also other, e.g. my local friend) now offer instead of 141 and 140 the Dppel spokes 178 in silver and black as well as V-S I have often read that every aluminium rim is equally suitable for the winter, as long as it is not excessively filigree and therefore difficult to keep clean or has any frills like chron or a polished/glossy twisted rim horn. However, also at RIAL, of which my current winter rims (Davos in 7Jx16) come, some rims have a winter tymbol, some do not. I would currently take the rim V spoke 141, even if 17″ with me. I don’t need to (but I want to, for optical reasons and because I want to exchange for a 123d/130i with a good offer). However, I like the double spoke 178 actually better, it also looks easier to keep clean. The star spoke 178 would of course be even more simple, but I don’t like that at all. I ask this question here, because I received little and hardly any helpful answers in the 1er subforum.

Hello, a question for a friend to the professionals from the forum: Search rims for the Kia Rio 1.2 YB. The car is on the serialalus (185/65 15 88H with 6Jx15 ET46). There are still steel rims available in 6Jx15 H2 ET49. Furthermore, according to COC, there are still allowed: 6Jx16ET49 and 6.5Jx17 ET49 Do you think that it is allowed to drive the 6Jx15 H2 ET49? Do you need a single acceptance from the TÜV because the ET does not exactly match (only with the larger rims ET49)? Does the H2 still play a decisive R That’s nothing in the COC. Greetings gromi

Moin, I just discovered this in the photo on my little one, on the back left. Mounting or curb or anything else? I can almost 100% exclude the curb as we have no one-way roads and therefore are not parked on the left, on the other hand you can see that the tire seems to have pressed against the rim otherwise the clear varnish would not be discoloured.. What do you think? PS: the tires were only installed 2 weeks ago.

Good day, I’m looking specifically for my E60 530d cheap winter tire. Now probably come many answers from because of “Teures car and at the wrong end save”. The reference is that I hardly move the BMW in winter, but if I drive it nevertheless, I am also on the safe side. I found the following tyres on the Internet: Gripmax STATUS PRO WINTER XL 245/35 R19 Must be, since I already have the rims, 245 35 19. The tyres have a real Wi I drive 4 “China” tyres myself as a summer tire and have not even claimed the ABS since more than 20,000km. Unfortunately, you can’t find a test on the tire, as it is probably quite new on the market. Has any of you had experience with it? Another question would be if it would be better to buy used brand tyres. I was already at the local tire fuzzi, only these have mostly Michellin etc, but d iese are then usually DOT 12 or 13 with 5mm profile for the same price (350€). There would have to be cheap, but new tires “better” or? I would be happy about constructive answers.

Hello, I got a 2009 Prius. There is a set of summer-like winter tires. Both sets from 2009. So from delivery. Each 195/65/15 KM Stand 86000km. At the moment I have Dunlop M3 some winter tires on it. These still have about 5mm profile. I still have to measure. Had not made any snow and no emergency braking yet 😉 So they seem to be quite good this winter. Except that the loud ones are. 1) do you think I should replace them next winter? As summer tires Bridgestone B250 are present. Profile 4-5mm. Were the dealer with silicone and shine like new;-) No brittle spots. 2) What do you think of them? Replaced? The tyre size is 195/65/15 and thus you get premium brands under 50€ per tire. I actually tend to buy everything new this year. At the moment there is e.g. ContiSport 5 for 43€..Goodyear too. Or do you think I should continue driving? Would you like to be safe in a dangerous situation.. Thank you

Hello together, I have registered a flat foot with my Alfa-Oldtimer with horror this morning. Wheel removed and can find no damage to the (quasi new) tires. So the old-school method used: tires pressed under water and looked for bubbles. And these rose up at the valve edge, so not from the valve opening but between the aluminium rim and valve socket (rubber). Now I think about how to get this close again. If the first possibility to the workshop would be f ahren – tire dismantling – valve disassembly – new in – tires again – balancing – finished. Is of course time-consuming… Maybe it also brings something to empty the tire – valve seat a little shaking – re-pump and hope that it does something… do you think that could work? Or breakdown spray…? I have never had such damage and therefore have little idea how the valve is sitting in there. Are old aluminium wheels and there it is of course possible that the seat is no longer so one hundred percent plan is… Best greeting, jo

Hello together, bought a new Seat Leon ST and wants to buy winter bikes now. Only 195/R15 I want R17 rims and found them with 5×112 7.5 R17H ET50. I would like to have 205/50 R17 tyres on them. The SEAT report only lists 225/45 R17 91V for this rim dimension. However, the ABE of the rim manufacturer lists the combination 205/50 R17 with the rim as possible and not subject to registration. with the ABE of the rim manufacturer in the glove compartment and don’t have to worry about any missing insurance cover? Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi Since my mom bought a new car and now I don’t need the winter tires anymore I wanted to ask if someone can tell me if I can build it with me or if the TÜV or so complains So there are 205/55R16 91H In my vehicle license is 205/55R16 91W. So they would have to fit without registration or? Or do I still have to pay attention to the axle load? If so where do I find it? Hope you can help me

Hello everyone! I hope I’m in the right forum this time I bought my car in 2015 with Vredestein Snowtrac5 – winter tyres. However, I’m not sure how old the tyres are. Even though they are 99% from the year 2015 too ÖAMTC and also my Volvo dealer these opinions are. My Volvo dealer even kindly contacted the previous owner, but the previous driver of my car no longer lives, so only his son gave this information. And a the mechanic at the ÖAMTC was sure they were from 2009 until I showed him the 1915. So my question. Could someone be so nice and tell me how old these tires are (below in the picture)? Maybe someone drives the same. MfG qwertzmax

Hello! On my G5 R32 I installed the original Zolder rim with 225/40 R18 Hankook V12 Evo. The car is only 20mm lower with the red H&R springs. I have already driven 2 sets of tyres. Now I have taken out the summer tires again and see on the inside of a tire (unfortunately no longer, where it was installed before) a deep notch. I had never seen this before and even when driving it never noticed anything…. Where is the fault? anything about the car? However, you don’t see any bars (except for a very small “rat track”, which could be from a protruding screw or the like…
