I run 225/50 Z rated Fulda Extremos on my 635CSi, love them
to bits. Excellent wet and good dry traction, not too loud
either. They are wearing a wee bit on the front but that
probably says more about how much I'm enjoying my new
suspension than the tyres themselves!

Fulda use a Goodyear carcass I believe. They are great value
for money and the Z rating was only slightly more than V.
