In its latest edition (5/2007), POWERCAR magazine has tested the Fulda Kristall Supremo, in the size 205/50 R 17 93 V XL, and rated it “recommendable”.
Perfect traction on ice and snow, comfortable handling, absolute smooth running and an impressively low wear factor. Features that consistently prove themselves even when driving at speeds of up to 240 km/h. Certified and labelled specifically as a “winter specialist”, the Fulda Kristall Supremo is specifically suited to particularly high-performance vehicles at the maximum level of mobility.
But is this prerequisite not what we are awaiting from our winter tyres? The winter tyres should offer unconditionally reliable performance, as well as guaranteeing precise force transfer and high tread stability even under winter road conditions.
So Fulda designed a tyre with a directional tread pattern and high blade density, which is not only offering a significantly improved protection against aquaplaning in the wet, but also increases traction on snowy and icy roads. In combination with an efficient circumferential V-channel profile, the Kristall Supremo has an outstanding grip which significantly benefits driving safety both in curves and when braking. A reinforced carcase construction, which consistently improves the transfer of all dynamic forces, markedly increases driving safety, particularly at high speeds
The extremely precise and comfortable handling of the vehicle is mainly due to the effective positioning of the circumferential central rib with resulting reinforcement of the centre of the tread. At the same time, the even pressure distribution in the footprint improves the mileage, which in the long term also pays off financially.
Moreover, the Supremo has other practical and convenient features: a staggered tread block arrangement with a high overlay factor effectively reduces sound frequency peaks, so keeping the noise level pleasantly low when travelling. In addition, an integrated optical wear indicator allows you to check very easily the remaining profile depth of your tyre. This to ensure you the best winter performance
