I had Fulda Extremo on my S4 when i bought it. Not a bad tyre, but not a top runner either. On a par with Hankook etc....

I just had a set of the Goodyear Assymetrics (225/40/18s) fitted to the S2, which also replaced Pirelli P Zeros.

Like night & day, and tramlining all gone :thumbs:

That's a very good price for 255/35s Mike - are they made in Germany?

Phil how do you rate them. I have had a re-think and cancelled the 275 F1's as they are two wide for a nine inch rim.
What load index rating are you guy's using ?

Have been running Toyos for years (T1S before the T1R). Great tyre, could do with a little more rim protection, and the you need at least 1000 miles on a new set before they "feel right". Good on track. I would suggest that the PS2s are maybe a little better in terms of feel, but they don't last anywhere near as long, and cost a darn sight more!!

Hand them over then, I'll give them a go.

Seriously, yes, I've bought quite a few tyres from them, pretty good value, if you don't mind waiting for them to come from the fatherland.

Fulda are a German company and are certainly not remoulds.
