Just had four new tyres fitted.
Fronts - 225/45/R17
Rears - 245/40/R17
They are Fulda Carat Extremo's
Total cost £330.
The Michelin's which I've just replaced were horribly noisy on anything other than the newest surface. On some surfaces it emitted a loud booming sound. Awful.
On the 17 mile drive back to work with the Fulda's on the difference in road noise was very noticeable. On the newest surface total silence but on at least three other types of surface it was nearly silent. Even on rough country roads (single track) there was hardly any road noise.
So far I am extremely pleased with the tyres. I understand they came quite high up in a recent AutoExpress tyre test.
