I'm no longer stressed!
I've been wearing running shoes for weeks.

The thread is quite old and originally referred to the release of the TS 800.

If he is "unearthed" again, I will just add something to it icon_smile.gif.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Did you think you were still using those old Uniroyal tires?
But now, tell me which ones you chose and how they drive!
It's not clear from this thread yet, or have I missed something?

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

'MFG' is an abbreviation for 'Mit freundlichen Grüßen,' which means 'Sincerely' or 'Best regards' in English.

UI,

With the old universities, I probably would have already had a loan for a new car icon_smile.gif.

I bought four Goodyear UG7 tires, size 185/60 R 14 T.

A G3 TDI Variant with 18-inch wheels always feels like you're walking on eggshells because the car's weight of 1.4 tons dictates what the tires do.

The texture of the Nasshaftung is divine compared to the old Unis. The snow also felt good.

Changing lanes quickly (even in dry conditions) at 160 km/h isn't much fun; the rear of the car feels very delayed and "follows" noticeably. This is partly due to the suspension setup of the station wagon model.

The 195/60 R 14 H Conti Premium tires perform better in the summer!

Finally, no more overpriced Conti junk... icon_surprised.gif

In the category of summer tires, however, Continental is slightly better.

Okay, I'm driving the Dunlop Wintersport M3 and I'm actually quite satisfied with it. The grip is wonderful, and it's top-notch on snow. The only thing that bothers me a bit is that it's quite temperature-sensitive. I had to drive on them until after Easter last year, and that really wore them down (okay, maybe that's my car's fault...).

Okay, finally some real snow!

And the goodies are sooooo good!!!

However, I have never driven the TDI before with truly new winter tires icon_smile.gif.

@ Ibi6L

Power is measured in kW and torque is measured in Nm - the upper and lower case icon_smile.gif is fixed (SI units) SCNR - no offense intended.

nm stands for nanometers.
kw ... I don't know.
