Fulda Carat Progresso Reviews

Given 79% (breakdown) while driving a MG MGTF (195-55-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
Had these on my TF (so i can actually comment on grip as it should be) and they where fantastic.

Fulda was a brand I was aware of and other tyres by them have impressed F / TF owners before.

The tread pattern drained water very well and felt planted even on the motorway in the heaviest of rain. Around tight country roads they excelled giving very good grip and a controllable limit with plenty of feedback.

I cant comment on total wear. They were on the car when I bought it and looked about 7mm - after 7000 miles of spirited driving they had around 5mm left. The TF and F dont really wear fronts out fast due to the RWD.

On a Mid engined car with a proper RWD setup with no traction control they performed very well. I added a set to the rear about 3 months before selling the alloys and they performed very well too.

Given 27% (breakdown) while driving a Alfa Romeo 156 JTD (185-65-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
A garbage tyre ! With this tyres I've bayed the car ; 5 wet road braking ABS intervening 3 and I went with them until I had a little accident - a small scratch on the left wing due to that I could not stop in time, came ABS and was to go in the trench. Then I decided and I changed tires with Continental Sport Contact 2 -> a huge difference in braking and handling. Amazing grip on wet and dry conditions; I can say that now the car runs on railways.

I will never buy this tire (Fulda Cart Progresso) and don't advise anyone to bayed if you care about their cars and their safety especially !!!

Given 81% (breakdown) while driving a Citroën Xantia Activa TCT (205-60-15-V)
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 spirited miles
These tyres were fitted to the car when I bought it, however they were very tready still. I did think they would be awul and need changing to a premium brand pretty soon, however that was not the case. I have been very impressed with the Fuldas, the grip both in the dry and wet is very good, when grip is lost they are progressive and easy to conrol. As my car has Activa Roll Control Suspension the body roll is virtually nonexistant and so the car can be really pushed around which has really given these tyres a real workout. Under extreme cornering they grip very well and given how they are treated the wear is very good too. They are also quiet, comfortablt and cheap to buy. It has Michelin tyres on the rear, which when tried on the front do not offer the same amount of grip and they roll onto the sidewalls easier under hard cornering (correct 36psi front tyre pressures of course).I will be considering these tyres again.

Given 79% (breakdown) while driving a Hyundai Tiburon (205-55-16-H)
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
I had this tyres on my Hyundai Coupe for 4,5 yrs. Managed to get out of them ~45,000 km which is good (every season changed front to back). Now I can still use the rear ones for one more season (bearly). Wasn's impressed with the grip on the dry, and on the wet the grip was terrible. Felt unsecure when it rained. The noise they make is not bad. Fuel consumption was low. If they had better performance on the wet I would buy them again... Probably will exchange them for Uniroyal Rain Expert next month, when I do I'll post a comparison under Uniroyal. Hope I make a good choice.

Given 93% (breakdown) while driving a Fiat Marea 1.6 16v (195-55-15-H)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
Excelent tire for dry and wet roads. Outstanding feedback and control at high speed driving either at wet and dry roads, almost no differences in grip in both conditions. I have never tried tires on snow and temperatures bellow 3 degrees celsius.

Given 81% (breakdown) while driving a Peugeot 306 (185-65-14-T)
Driving on mostly motorways for 400 average miles
Not been on long,but these tyres on the front felt solid and grippy..(got a set of Fulda ecocontrol on the rear)
Steering was controlled,and the car went exactly where it was supposed to!..a short run in rain showed what Fulda says on their website is not sales pitch!,they did good in the wet.
Road noise was barely heard
These tyres out performed the wearing michelins,in my opinion.Definatly buy again.
