Hello dear Motor-Talk community, I am new here in the forum and hope to be able to gain a lot of experience on your part and maybe also to be able to contribute my part! In any case, there will certainly be some interesting discussions and topics here, which I am looking forward to! Since I have had my new car for about a month now, I am of course now dealing with the sometimes painful topic of the wheel purchase. By the way, I am really sensitive and very select erisch! That makes it so difficult for me every time. Now my question to you is, could someone fake two rims on my wheel? That would be suuuuper nice, I don’t know at all about this picture editing story and would really like to see how the rims on my car are doing. In the appendix I have two pictures attached, I hope they are usable for this?! Thanks already in advance!! In my narrow selection are the following rims:RC 29 himalay grey front po Borbet XR brilliant silver

The topic has already been discussed several times and I have already read in quite a bit (all-weather tyres vs. SR/WR). But I hope here for some advice or tips for my special situation. Due to young people we have just bought a “larger” car, a Seat Leon ST FR with 2.0L (190hp). The car is relatively new (EZ January 2019) and stands on summer tyres (Bridgestone Potenza) on the original Seat Leon “Performance” 18″ rims. The DOT is also relatively new… e at least mid-2018 or even mid-end 2018. The car now has about 10000km…how long the summer tires were driven I can’t say, because at least 2-3 months had to be driven on winter tires. For me now the question arises whether all-weather tires (Continental AllSeasonContact or Michelin CrossClimate+) or additionally a set of rims with winter tires. At Seat there is probably just a “offer”, which would be the same rims as the summer rims and rough f are Michelin Pilot Alpin 4, at least according to the offer flyer. I did not find a Pilot Alpin 4, but only Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 or Alpin A4. What kind of tyre is the “Pilot Alpin 4” or is the name not entirely true and it is meant by the Pilot Alpin PA4? I once attached a picture of the flyer. On this, however, the profile doesn’t look like the Pilot Alpin PA4. But anyway, the tire is no longer the latest generation, right? whether it is really so smart to throw away the relatively new summer tires (with which I have to check how much profile is exactly on it) or sell for practically nothing and then raise all-weather tires. Costs for the all-weather tires incl. pull up would be about 500-550€. The winter complete wheel set is available for 310€ per bike, i.e. 1240€ in total. I’m puzzled what I do best and maybe someone has “the” tip for me here. Maybe the new Continental AllSeaso nContact even “better” than the somewhat more aged Michelin. While saving the change in the summer and winter (apart from the cost of changing wheels) is of course also pleasant. My annual driving performance is currently only 7000-8000km…which can change quickly.

Hello all, my 2.0 TDI Passat B7 (103 kW, DSG, variant, approx. 25,000 km per year, 60% highway, 30% highway, 10% city) would need new summer tyres and then also winter tyres in autumn. Now I’m thinking about whether I don’t go on all-year tires during our mild winters. Does that make sense from your point of view with my driving profile? Specifically, the Goodyear 4 Seasons Vector in 205 55 R16H predominates for me. In another thread, but also in the tire dimension 225 45 R17, I read about a slope z Is there anything to it? How often do you have to exchange all-year tires in an appropriate way? Thank you

Hello together As the title already says, I am looking for alternative winter tyres for my small streamer and hope you tire gurus have a good tip for me. Normally the Twizy is equipped with Continental WinterContact TS800 which I have installed at the moment, but as with Conti as usual the slats disappear at 5mm residual profile thickness and accordingly the grip in the snow gets bad. In addition, the Conti still demands a lot for the offered performance. I live in Switzerland I have the advantage that I can play with the tyre size in a certain way without having to dance at the test site.The following tyre sizes are allowed to my level of knowledge: Front 125/80 R13 (series), 135/80 R13, 145/70 R13 (special case see below) Rear 145/80 R13 (series), 155/70 R13 The speedometer signal is calculated from the speed of the electric motor and this drives the rear wheels. My problem is now the front tyre size and unfortunately most manufacturers of the corresponding sizes don’t tell me anything. As mentioned above, the size 145/70 R13 front is a special case where I don’t really see through: In the Vectorix forum several users do not fit the winter tyre in 145/70 R13 > in summer I drive this size myself (M chelin ENERGY E3B 1). The most important criterion that the tires must meet is gripping in the snow > I live in a valley and need to work over a small mountain whose road is not blacked out. Thank you for your help

Until now I have labeled the tyres with chalk during the seasonal wheel change, so that the wheels come back to the correct position when changing back. At the latest when cleaning the rims I could already repaint the attached chalk labeling. For years this has annoyed me, I didn’t know that resourceful spirits have come up with something – namely tyre markers in the form of valve caps. I saw recently as a set for 8 wheels with a large discounter for k Leine’s money on the rest table, the original sales promotion was probably already a few weeks ago. I once attached a product picture to the illustration. Is there also from other providers. Please do not misunderstand as advertising but only as suggestion. I didn’t know that as I am, or had never seen it before. Maybe it is similar to others.

We (78 and 73) live in the middle of the city and drive only very little, almost only short distances. However, on the edge of the Alps, but would not drive in any weather. As far as the background to our question regarding Astra H (will be 7 years) with summer tires 195-65 15 inches. The tyre service, where the summer tires store recommends us to buy 2 x still 5 and 2 x 4 mm new. We had already thought about changing to all-year tires (only Goodyear7vredestein should be acceptable?), but there is w ohl this tire size not exactly suitable (I have read, absolutely winter unsuitable, but the winter tyres with respective rims exist. Or are the existing ones acceptable for the expected maximum 4000 km this summer? At least the 5 mm, but did one mix the species, of course not on one axis? Greeting, nest

Hello, the last thread about tyres of the brand Falken-Ohtsu is already 2 years old and not exactly clear. In short, it is about that I need for our new cars for the next winter each a set of winter bikes. Since the tires are quite luxuriantly dimensioned, of course, these wheels are not exactly cheap. If you look at what the big suppliers on the internet have to offer so complete wheels, then of course there is the whole China scrap (comishly ga r not so much cheaper than brand goods) and then follow as the cheapest brand tires Sava, Avon, Falken-Ohtsu and Firestone. Sava and Avon already leave once, because the test results at ADAC are not really good. So stay Falken-Ohtsu and Firestone. I had the Firestone Firehawk Evo II on my old car and that was rather average but quite usable. About the Falken-Ohtsu HS-439 there are no neutral test results, only these praises of amateur testers be i reifestest.com. Since there are 15 to 20 Euro difference between the falcons and the powerful Firestone, these tyres would be worth considering at 8 new winter bikes to create. So dear falcon riders: What are the Japanese winter tyres? For me especially the grip on snow and ice is important and of course the wetness should also be acceptable. Both of them do not even make the premium manufacturers really good. had already once winter tyres from Yokohama, and these were almost optimal for my requirements.

Hi, everybody. I know it’s a little early, but I’m beginning to think about which winter tyres I’m supposed to buy this year. I’ve been the proud owner of a Skoda Octavia 3 station wagon, which I bought with 8 compartments. I don’t want to mount the winter tyres (Pirelli in 225/45 R17), but we still have a Ford Focus with 205/55 R16 glue Krisalp HP3, which works really well on the car. Now I had the idea, this i The winter tire test in 2019 certified the glue a not so dolle mileage and the identical BF-Goodrich cut off better in the test. As a premium alternative, the Bridgestone LM005 would very much agree with me. Is the extra price for the Bridgestone worthwhile or can one take the glue, or BF-Goodrich without a headache?

La Familia and F11 are currently making Switzerland/Italia insecure, from Ticino to Lombardy. Yesterday on the Italian train a pothole with hi-re caught, prompts the tire pressure indicator and pressure loss fat in the display. Speed reduced and the next rest site out, the visible part of the tread was ok, flank inside we torn outside. Car was mobile, then down from the track and the next GY service in Azzate with max. 60kmh. Tires were driven today. Pictures say more than words. the rim did not get any blow or imbalance. My plea: I am more convinced of the safety feature ROF than ever before, however “only” 130kmh it hit the tire properly, without the reinforced flank would have happened seriously. Since the rear axle allows the track stability, just since a tire defect without riding into the Pampas is “happy”… Family was still – with limitation – still mobile, thanks to RO F nothing happens. 80 kmh I wouldn’t really risk with it, also the tire gets pretty warm, still the cart is mobile. It is all too lightly argued that a tire damage would hardly happen. I am convinced that ROF has saved us from worse. If no spare wheel, then ROF!

Hello, I am looking for an all-year tire, but with the following conditions: It should be a good summer tire (on dry road, wet, quiet and long). The egg-legging Wollmilichsau just. At the same time it should also have a M&S marking. But stop: I don’t care how it is on snow as a winter tire. For me it’s about the car that gets the tire not being driven in the snow. If this unlikely case occurs But then I don’t want to hear about any insurance in the case of a case, I wouldn’t have driven any winter tires and thus a co-inflict. Unfortunately, during all-year tire tests, the importance is always placed on the snow suitability and relatively little value on the summer characteristics. I would like exactly the other way around. Therefore, I would be happy if no discusion starts now, that actually winter tires are much better on snow and all-year tires a compromise. I am looking for a good Summer ice. As it is on snow, I feel totally sniffy. Thank you for your comments. Dirk
