Overall good, but really nothing stands out about this tyre. Reasonable wear, very good in dry, confident in wet, average in snow.
Reasonably quiet and comfortable.
Great buy at around EUR 83 for 205 60 16.

BMW i3 · 155/70 R19 · 11 265 km
★★★★☆

Have been using these tyres on my BMW i3 for the last two winters and have been absolutely delighted with them.
I must stress I would never normally have considered Fulda tyres, however the choice of winter tyres available for the i3 is extremely limited. When I purchased these neither Continental or Michelin had any stock available so given how comparatively cheap these were I decided to give them a go and could replace them if needed.
Genuinely I’ve been amazed how well these have performed. In summer I’ve driven the i3 both on its stock Bridgestone tyres and Michelin e Primacy, these fulda tyres are more than a match for both!
The i3 retained its sharp precise steering feel and the grip in all weathers has been faultless. We predominantly have wet weather throughout the winter and the i3 has hardly troubled the stability control at all even on full throttle starts merging onto main roads. I’ve never had the ABS trigger (other than on ice) whilst fitted, I do frequently brake very strongly to help clear the disc surface of corrosion (caused by the strong use of regen braking by the i3).
This seems to be a contrast to lots of the reviews on here, perhaps the extremely narrow width of the i3 tyres are better suited to the fuldas tread pattern.
I consider myself a fussy tyre purchaser, who is happy to pay extra for the security offered by premium brands, but these Fulda tyres have totally exceeded my expectations. Had I paid the same price of Michelins or Continentals I would still be extremely happy with my purchase, the fact they were over £300 cheaper for a set makes them a genuine bargain. Will definitely purchase them again once the performance starts to deteriorate but at the moment they are as good as the day I bought them.
Well done Fulda.

I would never buy this tyres again , first winter was amazing , 2nd winter was bad, now 3rd winter is worse than summer tires , the rubber got so hard on them and they have no more grip.

★★★☆☆

If the tire is between 0 and 5 years old, I can recommend it. From the 5th year onwards, the tire deteriorated for me.
After approximately 40,000 km and 7 years, 4 mm of tread depth remained (the first indicator on the tire profile was reached), which is a good mileage.
Negative points from the 5th year onwards: loss of grip in wet and icy/snowy conditions; rapidly hardening rubber (despite underground parking); summer tire-like ride (direct steering feedback, harsh impacts, hardly any damping effect from the tires); when going over potholes, the rear axle became unstable, i.e., loss of grip and poor rolling characteristics.

★★☆☆☆

Very poorly wearing tires. I'm a mechanic and I keep seeing these tyres cupping very bad on the rear of many cars, with many customers complaining about noise. On the front they last long, but it seems the compound and the tread pattern have been designed poorly.
