TYRE FULDA KRISTALL MONTERO 3 205 55 R16 91T WINTER TL M+S 3PMSF MS DIRECTIONAL FOR CARS

The tire that delivers allround winter performance. The Kristall Montero 3 is the winter tyre that delivers all around winter performance at an affordable price. Get topquality performance in all types of winter conditions. The Kristall Montero 3 comfortably handles cold, wet, snow, and ice – and all at an affordable price. Enjoy reliable winter traction with Fulda’s SnowCatcher Technology. The center grooves form an interlocking network that catches the snow as you drive, helping your tyre keep its grip on snowcovered roads.

The Kristall Montero 3 features Bubble Blade Technology, which balances the need for a dense blade arrangement that can tackle ice and snow, with a stable tread design that handles well in every type of winter weather. The tyre uses a special polymer that stays flexible at low temperatures, helping to maintain optimal performance in extremely cold conditions. The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.

With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decisionmaking aid. Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safetyrelevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.

Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safetyrelevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer. I have done a lot of driving on these tyres on snow and ice. I have had other tyres that were slightly better on soft snow, but they still did the job. They were outstanding though on icy roads and on compacted snow.

You obviously still need to drive for the conditions, but these are great, especially bearing in mind their reasonable price. Excellent winter tyre, although I did not have any chance to drive in snow.
