I recently posted on the blog about how I got ours old winter tires have up-recycled to cool stools . Today it’s back to the topic car tire – I became part of a cooperation of the company reifencom invited to take a look behind the scenes.

At the end of the contribution there will be a raffle waiting for you.

By the way, during my visit I was accompanied by my 3 year old nephew, who is visiting Australia for a few weeks. For him, as a “car fan” of course, the visit of the workshop was particularly exciting and so we both enjoyed our little trip very much.

Subsequently, the tires were balanced. It was therefore ensured that the tires really run around. This was calculated by computer analysis and balanced by small weights glued to the rim. How important the regular balancing of the tires is becomes clear when one considers that an imbalance of 10 g due to the centrifugal force at a speed of 100 km / h affects like 2.5 kilograms! This in turn leads to a so-called “fluttering” of the steering wheel.

Finally, we were shown on the basis of my minis how the Wheel alignment With state-of-the-art diagnostic technology works.

For this were reflectors attached to the tires, which in turn were detected by a camera and could provide information about the exact values.

I found these insights very interesting because I did not realize that one Adjustment of the axle geometry This causes the tires to wear much faster. In principle, this is of course logical, because if the tire is not exactly straight, but tilts outwards or inwards (= positive or negative camber), this leads to a strong one-sided tire abrasion.
