How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews

The Fulda Carat Extremo is widely regarded as a subpar tire, characterized by significant noise issues and poor performance in wet conditions. Users generally advise against using this tire for sporty driving, noting that its performance degrades rapidly as the tread wears down.
Pros
- Acceptable dry grip when the tire is new
- Adequate for basic, low-demand family saloon usage
Cons
- Excessive road noise and howling at highway speeds
- Poor traction and safety in wet or greasy road conditions
- Rapid tread wear
- Significant loss of performance as the tire reaches the end of its tread life
Worth knowing
- Lightweight kit car owners reported difficulty generating sufficient heat in the tire compound, leading to poor grip.
- Users noted that the tire is unsuitable for sporty vehicle applications, performing better only on standard family saloons.
