Fulda Kristall Control SUV

Touring Winter Winter rated

For optimum traction on snow-covered roads, the Fulda "Snow Catcher" technology uses the adhesion of the snow, therefore, the tread grooves are arranged in the central region so that the snow is compressed and held in the profile.

The Fulda Kristall Control SUV has a high number of sipes so that the tire can form many biting edges, resulting in better handling characteristics. Through the so-called 3D Bubble Blades- composite vane technology through which support the blades themselves, the tire tread is very stable. Greater stability, balanced driving characteristics in wintry road conditions, on wet and dry surfaces are the result.

The Fulda Kristall Control SUV also convinces with mileage and fuel consumption. The tire has a weight-optimized carcass. Thus the internal friction is low and the low rolling resistance, which reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Because of its flat and wide ground contact area, a uniform pressure distribution is given; so the wear performance of the tire increases.
