Default thoughts on fulda quantums?

so im searching through craigslist for mustang parts and i see cobra wheels for 100 bucks .. they are chrome cobra replicas like these http://www.americanmuscle.com/17x9-f...ls-silver.html with 4 fulda quantum elite tires so i figure i can buy 1 more wheel new for 160 and for 260 bucks have some chrome cobras but how good are these tires? the price is good enough to buy without tires but am i going to mind using them until there shot?

I would say they cant be so bad that you can use them till their shot but... I would guess that due to the fact that it's pretty much a no name tire... it's gotta be cheap... which means it's crappy.

Still worth the $100 EASY.

ind out who actually makes the tire (IE goodyear michelin) I bought a set of Douglas tires from walmart, which were actually made by Goodyear but a quarter the price. They were actually good tire considering the price.

yes he threw one wheel out cause it was destroyed .. so the 3 wheels come with the tires on them and it comes with an extra tire ... so for 260 i would have a full set of chrome cobras ... he just called n im looking at them tomorrow so we shall see how they look

I work at discount tire and i dont think that those tires are a generic brand (EX: BFG is made by Michelin as well as Uniroyal)

My guess is they are Just some random tire that you can probably only get online shippped from another country or a mom and pop tire shop...

None the less... What are you waiting for!
