Lowcost

7.4 /10 Conditionally recommended

Fulda is a budget brand under the Goodyear umbrella, and the EcoControl HP2 is exactly what you'd expect — decent dry braking and good mileage for the price, but it consistently lands in the bottom half of tests against premium and upper-mid competition. Only 30 sizes available, so fitment options are limited too.
