Just for the record these are NOT going to be race tires. Just a nice high speed, turning, daily driving tire. I do want them to have some bite but they will not be a launching/track tire. That's what the nitto's are for.
Anyone with info on how these are please let me know! Thanx ~Eddie

They're G R E A T!!
I had a set on my car when I first bought it, 245/50ZR16's. They were very grippy and quiet and rode good, but let me stress this part again....they GRIP! The treadwear was 180 I believe so they are very soft.
Mine were destroyed in a train derailment on their way to a guy in California who bought my wheels and tires on one of the boards.
Where did you find a dealer for fulda tires? I'd buy some more if I could find a dealer that sells them.

Tire kingdom is a regular supplier of Fulda's now. They have a decent price on them compared to other tires. I just hope they last a somewhat decent time...

LEt me rephrase that...Tire Kingdom AND Big O tires are regular dealers for them. I bit the bullet and ordered a set for my WS-6 rims. I will let you guys know what i think. I had F1's before and Nittos last. So the main comparison will be against Nitto drags. We shall see!!
They are about a 180 treadwear. F1's i think are 220 or 280. GSC's are 220. However each manufacturer makes their own treadwaer label. There is no standard that companies go bye. So one companies 200 may be another companies 400.

Hi
Yea I Bought a set of 17's for my '96 WS6.
Xcellent tires and Value. My contact at Big O
was involved in some tire testing at the Las Vegas
track and the Fuldas were among the favored tires.
Thx.
