  • Audi A6 rims 19″ with 235/35 – TÜV rejected!?! IMPACT TEST?

    Hello dear community, I have now bolted my Audi A6 rims (BBS Speedline) 19″ with 235/35 tires to the car and I am today to the TÜV and wanted to register this combination. First: In various forums I was advised to the combination. Many users drive with this combination registered on VW! But the TÜV said that this combination is not allowed on these rims and I would need at least 255/35. He gave me a “confirmation of the standard permissible tyres ng” with which all allowed combinations stand for the rims. He spoke of an impact test?! How can that be? What did I miss? Best regards, Fabian

  • Rim damage

    Hello together, bought me new winter tyres and new aluminium wheels. At home we opened the packages (tested for damage) and glued them again. I brought rims and tires to a serious Mercedez workshop. Couldn’t pull up any tyres that day (defect on the machine, nobody wanted to tell me exactly) Next day I could pick up the wheels ready. 1 employee helped me invite, he packed them in bags. When unloading, I noticed damage to 2 rims, then I called them. I assume that this was working with a Montiereisen! I should come by on 4.10.2016 to talk about it. What rights do I have? Has it happened to you? In the appendix are the pictures of the 2 rims. PS: You have to zoom out to see the whole picture —->Ctrl and + press Mfg, the SUV-Rider

  • Strong weights inside or outside of aluminium?

    Hello community, have received new tires today and discovered that the weights were visibly glued on the rim. For my amateur eye this looks kind of nice – even if I am not the biggest rim fetishist. Photo on the question to the experts here: do you really do that? The tyre dealer said they were glued. Does that hold? Or do I fly the weights around my ears at 220 km/h? Thank you for your time and your opinions

  • Help! Bike nut is stuck in the tyre change!

    Hello ! I urgently need your help! With my Opel-Agila 2 wheel mutants are stuck on a rear wheel. Presumably rusted. I have already sprayed rust solvers. Also with airscrew during the tire service the nuts cannot be solved. Tyre service has changed only the front tires. What should I do? Please answer urgently! Thank you! LG Willi (Rentner)

  • Ominous air loss front right

    About 4 weeks ago I noticed a half flat foot at the front right, ok can happen tires unscrewed for screws, nails or other obvious damage and found nothing. Ok the tire pumped up, mounted and observed over the week, he lost about 1bar in the week. Since we wanted 2 weeks later by car on vacation I am then to the local tyre dealer to have the tire checked, in the water basin then a leaky valve insert fes That’s what I thought, but the next day the tire was flat again, it was… I was pumped up and again and no one had an explanation but very hard. Wheel down into the water pool brought me along and nothing to see no bubbles. At my request a new rubber valve was inserted and then there was also peace, I thought. 2 weeks later, Wednesday evening, 2 days before departure in the holiday resort, refueled and n atürlich air and everything else controlled, everything ok, next morning front right tire flat, shei… can’t be???? Tires with on-board compressor pumped up and left overnight would be flat the next morning (departure day) then I would have visited workshop but everything was ok. On the way controlled several times, but everything ok. Can the tire species give me perhaps an explanation for this, I have to work there maybe again, it can not be normal, od tire factory Hankook Ventus Prime 3 205 50 r16

  • Toyota Hiace tyre size / load index

    Hello all, I have already made the same post in the Toyota Forum, but without an answer. Maybe someone can help me here. I own a Toyota Hiace D-4D 4WD built in 2007. It is the long version (LWB). Ex works tyres of the size 195/70R15C are mounted. The total weight is 3000 kg, front axle 1550 kg and rear axle 1760 kg. Currently I drive Pirelli Chrono 195/70R15C with a load index of 102/104. I would like to drive on all-terrain tyres of the size 205/75R 15 or 215/75R15 change. However, I find almost no refien with the mentioned load index. On one side I found the tyre of size 205/75R15 with a load index of 95 to be permissible (see appendix). Can it be that with larger tyres the load index is reduced? Does that make no sense to me, since the tyres have to carry at least the weight of the axle load, or do I get something wrong? Thank you already for your answers.

  • All-weather C-tires – Which are durable and good in summer?

    Hello together, I’m looking for all-weather transporter tires (195/65 R16 C), which have strengths in the summer and are overly wear-resistant. Should cost as much as 100€, but not cheap scrap. Unfortunately there is no current test, therefore I ask for your experiences with actual manufacturers. The focus is on summer because I am with the Fz. Beautiful weather driver and do not want to have a hidden winter tire – prefer to have a hidden summer tire… And wear-resistant would be important because I have a small transpo Rter driving; in which the outer treads quickly descend in the front due to the model, if it is not loaded properly. I sometimes ́Vredestein Quatrac 5 ́ and the ́Michelin Cross Climate ́ fell into my eye. Only unfortunately the apparently no dealer near or the model has run out (?). Potentially could also be the ́Falken EuroAS VAN11 ́ what, but to that unfortunately I have no information at all. Vll. have your experiences with the question and a tip for me!? LG

  • Renault aluminium wheels “Alizar” on Dacia Logan 1.4 Limousine

    Hello! Let’s ask you a question. I could take over a set of original Renault aluminium wheels, which I really like, at zero tariff and would like to ask you now, what it looks like about a possible registration. These are the following rims: Type “Alizar” Renault-No.: 403007780R Size: 6Jx15 ET: 36 further number: 8200 449 952-D further name: CMS401 The rim itself is identical to the size of the original steel rims of my Logan I. The axle strength should also be given with a 14 mm wider track. Of H&R there are also track widths up to 60 mm with expert reports! Now my question. What do I need for successful entries? There is no strength report from Renault. I have found in the net a drawing for another rim called “Nervasport” and with the entries are apparently possible, but not for the “Alizar”. Below, as an example, the technical drawing for this “Nerv” has Is there such a thing for the “Alizar”? Or do I not need it at all? Is the KBA number included with the designations above? Can the TÜV examiner help with this? Oh yes and am I quite assuming that the actual manufacturer is CMS? I know that the registration costs something, but since the rims cost me nothing, it would be worth it to me.

  • Single tires after defective

    Hello, have a tire replaced on warranty. The others have 6.5mm the new one has 8mm. Where do I pack it? 1.5mm difference do not make anything out? Tires is Michelin in 245/45/19, so quite expensive.
