Who makes rim trees?

Since Stiftung Warentest has not yet published a rim tree test, we would first like to draw your attention to the summer tire test published in issue 03/2015 and the test of winter tires from issue 10/2015.

However, if you now want to choose your personal rim tree test winner, best sander for trim work you must first decide on a manufacturer or a brand, of which we would like to recommend Cartrend, which has a wide range of car accessories to offer.

  • Dino 
  • Formula 
  • Torrex 
  • TecTake 
  • Autonik 
  • Jago

Accessories

Depending on the scope of delivery, certain rim tree wagon models can also be equipped with an additional protective cover. This not only protects the car wheels from dust and dirt, but also from water ingress through the ceiling or weather-unprotected external storage and the formation of rust.

Certain models are also supplied with a tire marker set or a tread depth gauge. The former allows the wheels to be marked, which makes it easier to determine which wheel was previously mounted at which point on the vehicle the next time they changed tires.

The tread depth gauge, on the other hand, makes it possible to determine the depth of the tread of the tire. For Germany, the minimum depth of the profile is 1.6mm. Tires that are more worn are therefore no longer suitable for road traffic and must therefore be replaced.
