Fulda Carat Extremo 225/50 R16 V

The Fulda Carat Extremo tire was specifically designed for the most powerful versions of modern passenger cars. At the same time, its wide size range contains many tire sizes for SUVs and crossovers. Among other advantages of this model, it is necessary to note the excellent performance in any weather conditions, the short braking distance on wet roads, and the high level of acoustic comfort.

Increased contact patch size

A significant part of the excellent traction properties of this tire is provided due to the increased contact patch size. To achieve this, the developers applied a whole range of solutions, most of which fell on the carcass. Its multi-layered structure has increased resistance to deformation, while the tread profile is distinguished by "multi-radius". This made it possible not only to significantly increase the contact patch area but also to give it a practically square shape. In combination with the increased stiffness of the carcass, this led to an improvement in the stability of traction properties and directional stability at high speeds, reduced the level of tire heating and rolling resistance.

Improved braking efficiency

A significant part of the traction edges is located at a slight angle to the direction of movement, i.e. actually transversely. Together with the rigid construction of the tread blocks and the tire carcass, this allows to significantly reduce the braking distance even on a wet road. At the same time, numerous drainage grooves located against the direction of movement, extremely effectively prevent the occurrence of aquaplaning.

Key features of Fulda Carat Extremo

- optimized carcass construction and tread profile shape increase the contact patch size, keep it unchanged even in turns, which has a positive effect on traction and handling;
- excellent braking efficiency and resistance to aquaplaning due to the block design of the tread with numerous drainage grooves.
