Performance Analysis

Across 16 summer tests, the Fulda SportControl 2 shows a clear “capable mid-pack” profile: typically competitive in dry performance and notably strong on efficiency-related metrics, but repeatedly held back by wet braking (and, in some tests, broader wet safety). Overall results fluctuate from strong mid-field (e.g., 6/20 and 7/16) to weak lower-half showings in mega shootouts (e.g., 30/52 and 21/50), aligning with the reported average overall position of 11.4 across mixed field sizes.

Its most consistent highlights are rolling resistance/energy efficiency and aquaplaning resilience, while its most consistent weakness is wet braking distance-often far off the best and sometimes near the bottom of the field. Wear and value are generally average-to-below-average depending on test, preventing the tire from converting its efficiency strengths into a clearly “recommended” all-round outcome.

Performance Strengths

Rolling Resistance / Fuel Efficiency Strong Details
• 1st place rolling resistance in 2020 Auto Bild Summer Tire Test (7.13 kg/t, 1/20) with article note: "lowest rolling resistance on test"
• 2nd place rolling resistance in 2019 Auto Bild Sports Car Tire Test (7.63 kg/t, 2/11, +4.4% from best)
• Above-average fuel consumption result in 2024 ADAC test (5.9 l/100km, 7/16, +3.5% from best)
Aquaplaning Resistance (Straight & Curved) Moderate Details
• Top-tier aquaplaning in 2024 ADAC: Straight aquaplaning 4/16 (+1% from best) and curved aquaplaning 3/16 (+5.7% from best)
• 2nd place curved aquaplaning in 2022 AutoBild Sports Cars test (3.6 m/sec2, 2/11, +2.4% from best)
Dry Grip / Dry Braking Competence (not class-leading) Moderate Details
• Consistently near the front in dry braking in earlier Auto Bild braking phases: 4/45 (+2.6% from best) in 2019 53-tire shootout; 10/49 (+6.5% from best) in 2020 market overview braking
• Competitive dry handling pace in full tests: 6/20 (+0.7% from best) in 2017 Auto Bild summer test; 7/20 (+0.9% from best) in 2019 Auto Bild summer test

Performance Weaknesses

Wet Braking / Wet Safety (primary weakness) Strong Details
• Very weak wet braking in 2024 ADAC: 15/16 (+22.5% from best)
• Bottom-tier wet braking in 2023 AutoBild UHP test: 20/21 (+17.1% from best)
• Poor wet braking in the latest braking mega tests: 33/52 (+23.7% from best) in 2025 shootout and 20/50 (+18.7% from best) in 2026 braking test
Wear / Mileage & Environmental Abrasion Moderate Details
• Below-average wear ranking in 2024 ADAC: 40,400 km (12/16, +41.7% from best) and abrasion 82.5 mg/km/t (14/16, +71.5% from best)
• Mid-to-lower wear results across Auto Bild full tests: 27,389 km (13/20, +39%) in 2020 and 27,889 km (13/20, +30.3%) in 2017
Value / Price-to-Performance in Some Tests Moderate Details
• Weak value score in 2024 ADAC: Value 3.42 price/1000 (13/16, +93.2% from best)
• Poor value and high relative price in 2020 Auto Bild full test: Value 18/20 (+67.2% from best) and Price 17/20 (+81.7% from best)
