Problem with winter wheels? 141vs142 Alloy?

Hi wojtek22 and wellcome!

I would take the V-Speiche 141, I find it's much better looking.

I would also say that there won't be any problem using the mixed tires on front and rear wheels, but as you already mentioned, smaller tires are better for snow and ice. Why don't you take 205/50 17 on front an rear?

But there are specialized guys here in the thread, they can help you far better than I do!

Wait for an answer, I'm sure you will get the right one soon.

C u and have fun her with us in the forum.

Kind regards,

Patrick

 

Hello wojtek22 and welcome.

It's no problem to put 205's on the 7,5 rim. It may however look a bit funny.

Personnaly I like the 141 bette but from experience I can tell you they are not the easiest to clean.

There is a 3rd option: take two sets of 142 front wheels.

How about the 256's however. In my opinion they are nice too and easy to clean.

I hope this info can help you in your decision.

Best regards from overhere in Holland,

Paul

225 should be fine during winter, however I'm not sure if you can get
snow chains
I would prefer one size all around, couze you can then easily interchange
from front to back

205mm should also be no problem with a 7,5'' rim!
Interchanging front and rear obviously should be avoided...

 

I´ve got 205/50 17 Pirelli Sottozero RFT (on 141 V-spoke wheels), which are providing a very satisfying grip level particularly under snowy conditions.

Cheers,
Andreas

 

if going for a non-rft tyre -> michelin pilot alpin pa2
ride comfort increases tremendously!!!

 

Hi wojtek ...

your English is pretty good an by far better than my Polish

Must be funny to drive in Polish winter, I guess you usually have a lot of snow over there in winter months, don't you?

And .... are Polish girls as pretty as we are always told here?

Kind regards

Very very depending...some might provoke eye cancer
mostly they r quite good looking

however thats why I visit Poland from time to time : Grasovka rost:
absolutly lovely stuff , even though you can buy it in Germany
drinking it in Poland is just a whole different experience...

not to mention the polish "piwo"

na zdrowie i dobranoc!

serdecznie pozdrawiam z Niemcy
