Tires KENDA or FULDA

They had been recommended to me by a couple friends, but obviously you have to try it before you really know. This is *my* take on these tires **after only one ride**. I can corner better than I've ever been able to on a 29er. I feel more comfortable going through loose sand and dirt. Traction on most surfaces that I rode on (packed dirt, loose dirt, rocks, road, and gravel) was much higher. Due to the above, I was able to go faster through more areas of trail. Rolling over small objects was smoother. Rolling resistance is much higher than I had thought, but it doesn't stop you dead. To me, this simply means I have to work a little harder, which I have no problem doing.

The sumitomos are no longer available. I found a website that has some Fulda's and Continentals in the size we like. They are more expensive, but better than the sumies.

Fulda\u00b4s are the best tires you can get here for ultra low cost , but most vW people in Germany dislike Fulda\u00b4s .... they prefer spending 100\u00b4s of euros for Dunlop\u00b4s which i don\u00b4t like. I always buy Fulda\u00b4s or Continental\u00b4s...

Of course if this is a street car, and comfort is required and you dont drive like I do a set of all seasons in 205 like a fulda assuro on a 7 inch wide wheel will give you sufficient grip for the street. Cleats for the snow if you have to do that too, and they're pretty smooth over bumps...

They are ATP Magnum Elegance (9,5 x 18) with Fulda Tramp 4x4 Yukon (255/55/18).
