Today I had to replace an aluminium rim again, because it was broken after a pothole. When I approached my tyre dealer that I was totally dissatisfied with my 195/45/16 (too hard, too sensitive) he quickly listed me the list of available wheel/tire combinations. In summary, the list can be said: The wider the tires, the bigger the wheel and the lower the flank height. What I wanted, namely as wide as possible (for driving and Stability) and as normal cross-section as possible upwards (for the Komofort), that was not the case for my car. However, this would not be due to my car, the tyre dealer said, but there would be such combinations (wide and high) generally rare for cars. Only for off-road vehicles. He said that this was due to the fact that there was simply no demand for it. Whoever wants a wide tire would usually want a small cross-section. Even if the ride comfort would suffer. But this is mainly an optical thing. In the 90s, what I wanted was completely normal. He said that the tyre width had a significant influence on the driving situation in borderline and emergency situations, whereas the flank height was only marginal. Is that true? And if so, why? I don’t quite understand it. Wide tires for driving and high flanks for comfort would have to be a sales hit after all?

Hello together! I’m very new here with you and I already have the first question where the SuFu can not help me any more. And I bought a BMW E46 last week where chromed 18″ were on it. The previous owner probably drove a year by car and never had an ABE for it. But since this is too difficult to drive without ABE and I also have to go to the Tüv in December, I got other rims now. (The unfortunately not look so nice) I have already on the rims if I can find a KBA number, but there is nothing like a KBA. I took a picture of all this and wanted to ask you if someone has any idea where I or if I can get an ABE for it at all, because I would like to pull the rims on it again. Thank you already in advance!!!!

Have problems with this company!! I paid for the tires on 3.9.12 and up to now they could not get money! Who also has such problems? Are whole 300€!!

Hello guys I have a question, on my vehicle I can unfortunately install only 225 he tires. I know that there are differences between the brands. Tolerant is so far known to me at 4%, would like to buy the widest tire. What experience do you have?

To the tire experts (and only the) The annoying tire change 2 times a year I want to save. Think about what makes more sense. a) Either buy all-year tires (which can neither summer nor winter right) or b) Drive winter tires all year round (which can not summer) I care about absolute smooth running and comfort. I don’t care about the increased wear or slight grip losses. What makes more sense? Thanks Udo

Hello all, I am looking for new summer tyres in the above size for a Skoda Fabia 1.4 16V 86Ps. The previous tyres were Conti SC2 from factory and have now kept 40000km. The car is driven mostly with max. 130km/h on the highway and otherwise not sporty. The tyres should meet (ranking order from top to bottom): Long (important!) Comfortable/lease Aquaplaning safe possible cheap or economical (but does not want to scrap China!) possibly sp. Rite saving Since the selection is limited in this size (pcs. less than 90€) I have chosen: Hankook Ventus Prime 2/ V12 EVO2 / S1 EVO Fulda Sport Control Goodyear EF1 A2 Michelin Pilot Primacy 3/ Energy Saver+ would be my favorite (due to the high mileage these should be more expensive then), but is not in size or??? Other suggestions are welcome! Thank you already!!

Hello. I have a mb w204 and could get used to the rims (Royal gt20 8.5×19). Unfortunately, the previous owner no longer has the review. Does someone happen to have one here or does someone know where I get it? Can I drive the rims on my car at all??? Thanks already in advance for the help. Mfg

I probably want to buy new rims + tires for my golf. But I’m not sure about the size. At the moment there are 225 Michelin on 17″ on it. And even with the Michelin a sawtooth has formed again. According to the workshop you could not do much and otherwise everything would be ok with the car. But the rolling noise is especially loud, roaring and annoying in the village. Since the look of the rims is not so important to me anymore, I think about buying smaller ones. Therefore the question, o b there is also the danger of SZ formation, e.g. at 195 with Michelin? Or does the width of the tires have nothing to do with it?

Hi, I have bought this rim private, unfortunately no expert report on it. Can’t just find out what kind of brand or model these FELGEN are Dimensions: 8,5J x20 Would be very grateful for any tip / info

I have nearly 4 years old all-weather tires on it. Profile is still about 3 mm. I wanted to give my car new footwear to winter. Now the not bad looking extremely lose grip. First it was only on wet road (there were still 4 mm on it), now even on dry road the ABS intervenes at normal braking. Can that be? Bzw. Is it intended that I should buy new tyres at 4-5 mm already? It is about 235/50R15 Pirelli Verde-Eco. I was very satisfied, but that in this weather 3mm are not enough, seems to me to be a problem of the tire?? Now I think about taking the falcon Euro All Season AS200. They have a bit worse reviews, but maybe you can drive the longer than only 4mm (40 – 50tkm) before they lose the grip? What do you think? I hope here are tire specialists among you??
