i drive roughly 800km a week and these are excellent tires when you decide to put it through its paces. lovely for spirited driving, stuck at 70-90km/h when wet. predictable grip and tire does allow you to turn in tighter when need arises.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I'm very pleased with these tires! I replaced Yokohama Advan A10 with Fulda SportControl and i find Fuldas much better! Excellent grip both wet or dry. Great update... I will buy again! Excellent tires at a good price!!!
Before the S Drive ,I was using the Goodyear eagle F1 which I skid and nearly got major damages to the car .i was only doing 40km/hr on a turn
The S drive on the other hand was very assured and I felt safe . Both the dry N wet grip was good .The best part was that did change tires recently ..only after 2.5years . And I'm in a sales position , I had to drive up and down and had considerable mileage . The tires did last a long while .
The cons would be a slight noise .not too much .
I would consider getting a Sdrive again ,given its Longevity . It maybe pricier as compared to many other models ..but hey it did last me a long time while giving good grip till the end of its days .

Great Tire. I bought them thinking they wear cheaper then the Bridgestone potenza or dunlop SP01. But the performance is just amazing. I can push my car to the limit and they just keep gripping. Unlike the Toyo TeoPlus tires i had before which where terrible.
Would highly recommend and buy again!
