Fulda tires

[FiremansTA]

I just got a new set (4) of Fulda Extremo 245/50ZR16's today. The salesman told me they are the German brand of Goodyear. I wanted to hold out for Yoko's but I needed new tires like NOW, my OEM goodyears were dangerous at best. At about $550 for everything the price was right and the car seems to handle and launch much better. Anyone ever heard of these good or bad? I can take them back within 30 days so if anyone has anything I should know about them please share! Thanks

i have a set and i love em..... they wear quickly at 180 treadwear but they ride awesome and handle tightly. I really really like mine so i dont have any complaints here.

Nice to see another person here close to home!

goodyear has plants and sells tires in Europe.

Fulda.......is Fulda. they have spin off lines too, Multi Mile and Codovan are 2 of them.

if you like em..keep em. treadwear is thier downfall.

Well, as FastTA can attest to it is raining to beat the band today, so as long as these storms aren't hail-makers I'll go test the tires in the rain. If they handle safely I'm gonna keep em. Thanks for the input everyone.

Man we just lost power to our building a little while ago. It is definitely pouring. Be careful testing those tires, you know how crazy San Antonian's are in the rain!

LOL, in my line of work I see first hand just how bad SA drivers suck in the rain. (I grew up in MA where drivers can handle the weather...just not each other )

let me know how they run in the rain...... i live in vegas so that XXXXXX 180 treadwear kills my tires but they stick for days, anyhow its raining here in vegas but i really would like to know how these stick in the rain cause i hate driving a v8 rearwheel in vegas..... 3x a year of rain = drifting dream come true

Thankfully I have not had to drive anywhere near downtown! It looks pretty crazy, especially considering the Spurs host the Lakers here today also!

xxemoxx *Fulda test in rain

Well had the TA out yesterday very briefly to test the Fulda's in bad (and I do mean BAD..right FastTA?) weather. The roads were very wet with running water in parts (downright flooded in others). I am pleased to report the tires did very well and the car handled about as safe as can be expected for a RWD in these conditions. So...the tires stay until they wear out and are replaced by 17inch WS6 rims/tires.
