Performance Analysis

Drawn from 16 tests. Updated March 13, 2026.

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.

2024 ADAC Summer Tire Test

ADAC 215/55 R17

The Fulda SportControl 2 achieves a good rating on dry roads but does not surpass a satisfactory rating in wet conditions, impacting its overall safety rating. On dry roads, it provides satisfactory steering feedback but is considered safe at the limit, with its braking distance rated clearly good compared to the test field. However, on wet surfaces, the SportControl 2 misses a good rating, showing strength in aquaplaning resistance but only achieving satisfactory results in wet braking and handling, offering a medium level of grip and suboptimal combination of longitudinal and lateral forces. In terms of environmental impact, the SportControl 2 narrowly misses a good rating, with its projected mileage and wear assessed as just satisfactory. However, its efficiency is rated as good due to low weight and fuel consumption.
