Default I Got New Tyres

I only got 2 but i got a brand i'd never heard of before as my bf is mates with a guy that runs a Bob Jane's and he recommended them and has them on his car.
They are Fulda tyres..anyone got them? How do you find them? Driving home from town i could feel the difference already

Hmm, never heard of Fulda Tyres before.

A bit off-topic but...tyre shop stereotype people all the time. When I was asking for quotes on 205/40R17s, four out of five tyre shops went like this.....they asked what kind of car I've got..... i said "Ford Fiesta". Then he recommended shytey tyres and said that "205/40R17s are too big for the Festiva". Hmmmm... okaaaaay

The XR4 if marketed properly should solve that problem.

Until then, If someone asks me what sort of car I have, I'll keep telling them its a focus..

How would you rate them over the stock tyres?

Ive got GIII's on my front 15's and GIII all round on the 16's(205/50 size).

im not good describing tyres but they're good. The car had 5000kms on it when i got it over a yr ago and i havent changed tyres since. I only got 2 new ones which went on the front and it just feels smoother and stuff over bumps and turning.

The guy recommended them- he has them on his new citroen

German tyre company that has been around since 1900 and named after the German town of Fulda where it was founded. Reputabely very good tyres. See http://www.fulda.com/fulda_uk_en/

I got fulda's on the 16's on the focus, very good tyres and exceptional in the wet, much better than the standard goodyears, not to say that they were bad but the fuldas outshine them by far
