Fulda KRISTALL MONTERO 185/70 R14 88 T

Hi ! I've got these tyres 2 years ago when I didn't have the possibility to get Michelin Alpin on all 4 wheels. I live in Romania, very heavy winters, with streets not so clean, usually covered in a bit of snow to a lot of snow. I've had experience with both, since I drive a lot outside the city. Warning ! I did not use these tyres in mountainous regions, only hills, with mild climbs, and just a bit of twisty roads. My car is equiped with both ESP and ABS, which certainly helps a lot. I am into the habbit of turning my ESP off when getting stuck in snow, or road conditions are so bad that it locks too often. Tyres are good for city usage, or very cautious driving outside the city, on relatively cleaned streets. They are mediocre on snow (but my driving style isn't very calm either, not terribly agressive during the winter ). If you're in a hurry, these are not the tyres for you. If you can keep calm and always drive a bit under the speed limit on a snowy road, you'll be just fine. Just don't go into very thick snow, since you won't be able to get out of it. The performance on thin ICE is totally lacking, my car entering a drift quite often, even when going at moderate speeds. Allthough, if you drive cautiousely, you should not have an issue. Not a good tyre to climb a steep hill covered in snow, especially if it's a low car. Go for some better brand tyres. I'll throw away these tyres when spring comes and get me a set of Michelin Alpin tyres. Read more Collapse

great tyre for the winter. I hesitated a long time over the summer Fulda choice because they are hopeless. But now I know that I did well. I had a model that winter Dębica I believe a good tyre, but this is so much better. I bought this because of my size, few companies make tyres. In the snow with no surprises, as the track driving on rails, no slippage and the like. Not buried anywhere (this winter there was not much opportunity). Braking - great, almost like a dry nawieżchni. Water - ideal which can not be said of Debica. The most feared of water and slush, unnecessarily. ABS rarely turns on huge serving only hockey, but there is not strong. As for a super-dry conditions, only the noise and rolling resistance provide know it's time to start summer Slippers. I would recommend this tyre with a clear conscience, suitable for heavy vehicle which is octavia (1.3 t). What surprised me the most, it is that on dry asphalt behave better as my summer klebery! for me it's a shock. Only the veranda, as it is already warm because I have them zciągnąć rolling resistance increases fuel consumption by 15%, in winter temperatures minusiwych perfect! Read more Collapse

The first two winter seasons I was extremely pleased with these tyres, a super-sticky road but now definitely in the third season, you can see that the mud śniegowym and pośniegowym not stick like they should, and when starting the marshes where even snow tug car (front drive) and move harder ones ... need to be touched. While driving in the snow as well, and also keep braking on snow (oczywiśniecie not violent) even goes - is well and the car can go about 80 km / h but it bends a little worse when he is suddenly the possibility of losing their grip on moment, because I had such situations. Focus is to himself that even as a little fall into the arc poślisk the car quickly back on his track. Overall, I recommend this tyres. Tread as the third season and quite aggressive driving is pretty good - the rest of the tread is to wyjeżdzenia the winter on bare asphalt because they are fairly quiet. For next season I will try to have something different. Read more Collapse

tyres bought coercion rather getting ready for departure but I'm pleased with them, especially the first two seasons are well behaved, with the third as they disappeared a little tread is already worse ... the mud in the city without major problems at higher speeds, at the very beginning as I bought it was quite a winter and I went on top of the ride along country roads and at about 3 - 4 cm of snow on the road I could easily go 60 - 70 per hour on a little tighter gaps ... what to abrasion to the first two seasons were very good but this was the third and the snow it was not a little przytarly those on the front axle, and already it is not so nice and stress well but this year I'm going to change them can also at Fulda and the rear is quite good condition .. and the noise level is not pay attention to any tyre, radio louder and a little bit about Read more Collapse

tragedy! do not buy these tyres. I do not know how the other sizes but this is the issue for themselves the judgment of death. Wet is still ok, but it is surely a winter tyre! traction on snow - macabre, ice and ice - without the thorns all tyres the same, but the conditions usually encountered with us, the so-called slush rating: minus one or two. tyre is unpredictable - front - for climbing in turn passes before I get the second good grip and it's a second too long and does not matter whether you add the gas and let go ... or emergency maneuvers, even at low speeds excluded. while holding back quite a long time but as I let go of the need to demonstrate a real reflaksem, he can turn. tyre very rapidly loses and regains grip. in this price range d recommend Daytona 500 at the scierkach a revelation. My Fulda Finish the season in the first spring fire. Read more Collapse
