Competitors

The Fulda SportControl 2 emerges as a summer tyre that presents a mix of admirable and less favorable characteristics across various tests, thus illuminating its multifaceted performance spectrum. A key strength highlighted is its performance on wet surfaces, particularly its good resistance to aquaplaning and relatively short braking distances on both wet and dry pavements. This suggests that the tyre is designed with safety in mind, offering reliable handling in adverse conditions despite some criticisms.


On dry roads, the tyre demonstrates commendable braking performance, which is a critical factor for drivers seeking both safety and responsiveness. However, it's worth noting discrepancies in feedback regarding its dry performance; while it ensures secure driving conditions and is generally well-regarded for its handling capabilities, some tests report marginal weaknesses in driving comfort and grip. These discrepancies could stem from different testing methodologies or expectations, yet they indicate that the SportControl 2 may offer a safer threshold of performance without reaching the pinnacle of comfort or feedback on dry tarmac.


A notable concern across various evaluations is the tyre’s prolonged wet braking distances and somewhat delayed steering responsiveness. These factors could impact the tyre's overall appeal to drivers who prioritize nimble, acute handling and swift, decisive stopping power under rainy conditions. Despite these criticisms, its solid performance against aquaplaning and its economic benefits, such as low rolling resistance and reduced fuel consumption, reflect a well-rounded approach to tyre design, balancing safety, efficiency, and environmental considerations.


The tyre's durability and tread life receive mixed evaluations, with some reports suggesting only satisfactory projected longevity and wear. This aspect might influence the tyre's value proposition, especially for drivers covering high annual mileages or those seeking a blend of performance and longevity.


In summary, the Fulda SportControl 2 positions itself as a viable option for drivers seeking a summer tyre that performs competently in wet conditions with good aquaplaning resistance and safe handling features. Its economical advantages further enhance its appeal. However, potential buyers should weigh these positives against the critique of its wet braking and handling subtleties, as well as its satisfactory but not exceptional durability, to assess whether it aligns with their driving needs and preferences.

Fulda SportControl 2 in tyre tests

All tyre tests where Fulda SportControl 2 was featured:
ADAC Summer tyre test 2024 215/55 R17
satisfactory
Ranked #7 of 16
The Fulda SportControl 2 secured the 7th position out of 16 competitors, achieving a final rating of 'Satisfactory.' This tire was praised for its dependable driving characteristics on dry roads, its lightweight nature, and its low fuel consumption. However, it faced criticism for slight weaknesses in dry road comfort and wet conditions performance, alongside an adequate projected tread life. While it demonstrated good aquaplaning resistance and braking distances on dry surfaces were notably commendable, its performance on wet surfaces narrowly missed achieving a higher accolade due to deficiencies in wet braking and handling. The Fulda SportControl 2 offered an adequate level of grip but struggled to optimally combine longitudinal and lateral forces under wet conditions. Its environmental footprint, although closely missing a higher mark, was recognized for efficiency benefiting from the tire's reduced weight and lower fuel consumption; however, its wear resistance and projected longevity were only deemed satisfactory.
