Experience unparalleled traction and control with the Fulda Kristall Control SUV, a premium winter tire designed specifically for off-road vehicles. Engineered for exceptional snow performance and enhanced cornering stability, this tire is perfect for those who demand more from their winter driving experience.
Key Features and Benefits
SUV Block Stiffening: Reinforcement elements between the central blocks enhance profile stability, providing improved driving stability for SUVs on dry roads.
SnowCatcher Technology: Dual directional and counter-rotating tread grooves trap snow within the contact area, ensuring mobility and superior control even in the harshest conditions.
3D Bubble Sipes: These interlocking sipes create numerous small yet stable blocks, offering better control on dry roads and outstanding performance in winter conditions. The optimized contact patch ensures even pressure distribution for uniform wear.
Flat and Wide Contact Patch: The broad and robust contact area guarantees high mileage, making it a cost-effective choice for long-term use.
Modern Rubber Compound and Lightweight Construction: Designed to minimize heat generation, this tire reduces fuel consumption, making it an eco-friendly option.
Optimized for Winter Adventures
Whether navigating snowy terrains or cruising on dry roads, the Fulda Kristall Control SUV tire delivers reliable performance, ensuring you stay in control and safe throughout the winter season. Choose this tire for a blend of durability, efficiency, and superior winter capability.

3D Bubble Blades Straight sipes on the top of the tread surface allow the presence of more rubber volume. Allows an optimized footprint shape with uniform pressure distribution which results in an even wear.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
