Dad needs a new set of tyres for his Fabia vRS.
His local tyre guy (in SW France) is quoting him ?150 a corner for Michelins.
On Pneus24 they are offering Fulda Carat Extremo for ?78.20 delivered a corner - 49% off their RRP.
Does anyone (tyreexpert....) have any experiences of this brand/model, as it´s not one I´ve used before. I´m particularly interested in its wear rate, as the vRS is a bit of a tyre muncher.
Size is 205/45 R16 83W.
Thanks in advance,
Barchettaman

I have not heard of them, but it might be worth checking out this site.

I read frequently, but only post when I have something useful to say.

Very cheap albeit good tyres always make me suspicious:
- A newer, better version of the tyre might be out already. Tyre tests often mention this in accounting for a poor or good performance of a particular tyre.
- These ones were produced some time ago.
- They fell off a lorry (sic).

I have a set of Fulda Carat Attiro's on the Octavia (TDI - 90hp, shouldn't be a tyre muncher) and I'd say they wore noticeably faster than any other tyre I can remember

Thanks chaps.
The guys over on Briskoda.net are recommending Toyos or Kumhos, so I will check those on the website.
