Anyone ever heard of these?

German tire brand named Fulda. The tire model is the Extremo. I guess they were originaly designed for the Autobahn and used on some exotic cars in Europe.

Fulda Extremo, 215/45/17, Z rated, 180 treadwear, dry weather tire and as I've been told sticks to the road like glue. I can get them for $100.00 a tire.

Anybody ever heard of these or used them. I would be using these for everyday driving and autocross racing in the summer. Already have winter tires.

The name sounds familiar. I think I heard about them in a different thread.

There's another thread about these. One guy said they "fulda" over like paper in turns.

Well that guy didn't know what he was talkin about. The Extremo tire is great and grips hella good. I got them.

That's cool, but when I have to buy new ones, I'm going with Goodyear Eagle F1's. I've NEVER heard anything but rave reviews in all conditions except snow. (Of course, they're $160 apiece (sad1))

I use toyo proxes-4 because I have tried a lot of tires,and I find them nice with grip,noise,vibration,and treadwear.but I did find the BF GOODWRICH KDW II to be better,but for the price,and the life I choose the toyo's.

Seriously, I love a good pun.

They're pretty popular with the SoloII STX crowd

Tires

I've decided against the Fuldas anyway. When it comes to the tread life and noise, I don't care. I just want the stickiest tire I can find that has a 140 treadwear or higher. I want to see my passengers turn white when I take corners and also increase my chances of placing first in AutoX street tire stock class.

I now have my sights on the Pirelli P-Zero Corsa 215/45/17. In that particular size they make a 140 treadwear and it looks like a slick with a couple grooves in it. I've heard good things about them and I'm exited to race with them next weekend.
