Hello, since there will soon be another “O” (=Easter) in the calendar, there will also be a tyre change. When changing from summer to winter tyres I was advised by the workshop to buy new winter tyres for the next winter, because the tyres are now too old (if 6 years, next year then 7 years, I have to look again at the DOT number). The car is a Seat Ibiza, BJ 2007 with now 60,000 km down. I bought the car in 2009 with about 6000 k In the meantime I drive about 10,000 km of this 80 % motorway. Now the question arises: do I even put the summer tires on it again? There are still the summer tires on it, which were in 2009 with the car and I suspect that they were even the first tires of the car. So from the year 2007. From the profile depth both the summer tires and the winter tires are still in order. Since I then buy this year two new tire sets because of old tires, I think also practice This is a useful alternative for me. I have very rare extreme weather conditions, as I drive 80 % of the motorway (usually cleared) and also live in the “flat country”. Again summarized: 1. Do I even pull the summer tires on it again? 2. Are all-year tires a sensible alternative in this situation?

Hi, at the Porsche 996 ’99Bj with VA: 225/40 R18 and HA 265 / 35 R18 are now after ~15.000km the VA tyres already on the wear limit with NOT sporty driving. Hankook S1 ventus were on it – before already the Bridgestone S02A and S001 tried.. were also not so good.. Do you have an idea for more durable? Had thought of the Conti Sport5?

Hello community, as is often the case, the longer you look for something, the more difficult it becomes to find something. I’m looking for the best summer tyres for me. The price is absolutely irrelevant. I’m never traveling under 20,000 km a year and don’t want to risk my life at some point because my tires have let me down. The low consumption and longevity with the tires should be at most a nice side effect, in the first place is the adhesion. The tyre has to bring: 205/55 R16 91 V – summer tyres Of course, load capacity and speed index are only minimum values. I have now called many “tire professionals” and received different recommendations. Among other things: Pirelli P7 Michelin Energy Saver+ Michelin Primacy 3 Continental PremiumContact 5 I myself have looked around again and found them in addition: Bridgestone Ecopia EP001S Dunlop BluResponse Both have already finished as test winner and have I’d be happy if someone could help me. I hope I didn’t miss out on any important information. (: Greetings Hat cord) I’d like to know if I could trust the letter lamp. I hope I didn’t miss out on any important information.

Hello, first of all I have to admit that I drove my winter tyres this year also in summer because they have not had so much profile. I am clear why you should not do this better. Anyway, now I have checked the tyres again and found out that these dissolves (see pictures in the appendix). DOT is in mid 2007. Both wheels are affected on the front axle. Question: Is this normal or must be reckoned with such “resolutions” if you have the Wi so I have to buy new winter tires now, anyway planned, and to choose from the Conti TS850, Dunlop D4 and Michelin A4. Size is 205/55/16 non RFT for the 318d e91.

Hi, everybody, I haven’t used my force machine for a very long time but at the last moment everything was ok with the machine. Jetz I wanted to balance out the summer tires again and I noticed that when I hit the force machine case I think the shaft is too short. Can you extend the shaft somehow? So that’s a distance from the rim and the housing? Because now, when I put the rim on the rim, the rim is directly on the housing and grinds on it.

Hi, I was at the TÜV today and I was told I need a tyre release…Where can I get such approvals, I can’t find them anywhere…It’s about the following tyres:195/45 R15 78V (brand TOYO) on a 15x8J rim (front)215/40 ZR15 84W (brand DUNLOP SP 9000) on a 15x9J rim (back) please quickly answer… THANK YOU!!!

In the news. Court overturns the previous regulation. Now the transport ministers of the countries are responsible for setting values for snow altitude limits, temperature limits and similar. Penalties can no longer be distributed once you are on the road with summer meetings. Although the obligation was never defined as such, but only the obligation to suitable equipment but what should be done. Self-responsibility (and responsibility for others) should however still be for each n in the first place

Hello people, to make it short: I get no invoice from this company so that I can register my Michelins with Michelin One-Way. here the chronology: 23.09. Online order of 2 Michelin winter tires at www.reifenshop24.net 24.09. Order confirmation meets by e-mail 24.09. I transfer 256,80 EUR online KW39 (day I don’t know exactly) Tyres meet 01.10. PL-distribution sends e-mail with alleged pdf invoice (“At the same time you will receive the invoice for the Order in PDF format. ” – it only hangs a winmail.dat, no pdf – I can’t open 02.10. my e-mail to PL-distribution: Hello Mr. XXXXX, the invoice is in dat format, I can’t open it. Would you please send it again as pdf, as written? Thank you! Eric XXXXXX 05.10. PL-distribution sends e-mail with alleged pdf invoice (“At the same time you will receive the invoice for the order in PDF format. ” – it only hangs a winmail.dat, no pdf – can I don’t open 11.10. my e-mail to PL-Distribution: Hello Mr. XXXXX, I don’t get any winmail.dat files opened via my private computer. Lt. information from the net is absolutely necessary Outlook. You can’t forward the data file either. Therefore my request: Either send me the invoice as pdf or send me the winmail.dat again to this e-mail address, on my company computer I use Outlook and hope it works. the invoice urgently to register the tires with Michelin Thanks in advance, best regards, Eric XXXXX since radio silence. At around 16:00 clock I tried to reach the company via the company holtline – it rings, but no one goes to answer (also no AB) what about these winmail.dat? Do I get a pdf generated from it? If the company PL distribution still does not respond, how do I get my invoice? Does anyone have the same problem with this company? Thanks in advance, best regards, E ric (I do a lot of work, but I see the registration with Michelin swimming away – all the information given can be verified)

Hello, I’ve been driving winter bikes on my cars for more than 30 years only on one axle and never had any problems with my driving behaviour – I would even need my winter bikes!!!! I live in the south-west of Germany and we rarely have snow. The trip to work is only 10km and that via a busy federal road, which is always snow-free tomorrow. My car is a Opel Astra with a Froont drive and a very good F Behavior – even in snow!! Do I still have to buy 4 winter bikes according to the new law?? Did 2 winter bikes also apply as “winter tires”? Write your opinion Thank you TOM

Hello, I have now with my A3 Sportback all-wheel a tire damage (nail) , 4 year old Michelin summer tires (reversed with winter tires) . If the tire should not be repairable . What do I have to replace ? 1 tires : get then problems on the axle , because of different tire diameter between old and new tires on the same axle ? Or 2 tires on the axle ? or even all 4 tires (believe / hope I do not now ) ? Greeting apollo
