Comparison: Continental PremiumContact 6 vs. Fulda EcoControl HP2 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Pirelli P ZERO PZ4

The Continental PremiumContact 6, a summer touring tyre, has an 'our rating' of 83% and has been manufactured in Slovakia, Germany and the Czech Republic. Its strengths, especially in wet conditions, are highlighted in our test results where the PremiumContact 6 holds the 1st place in the ADAC test, notable for its wet braking and wet handling. On Autobild's tests, it gets 4th position out of 53 tyres and continues to excel in wet braking. The PremiumContact 6 is lauded for its high safety levels, offering excellently balanced performance on both dry and wet roads. This Continental tyre, however, shows some weakness in terms of efficiency. The PremiumContact 6 has replaced the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 and has since been replaced by the Continental PremiumContact 7.

On the other hand, the Fulda EcoControl HP2 summer tyre, rated at 71%, sadly falls short on test results. The tyre places 8th on the ADAC test, though its aquaplaning and noise performances are commendable. In the Autobild test, it comes in 20th out of 53 tyres much due to its aquaplaning excellence. The Fulda EcoControl HP2 earns plaudits for its environmental friendliness, extended lifespan, efficient wear, and fuel efficiency. However, its overall balance is found lacking, with particular weaknesses displayed on wet roads. This tyre is a follow-up to the previously successful Fulda EcoControl HP.

Overall, based on our comprehensive data, Continental's PremiumContact 6 excels in both dry and wet conditions, despite its efficiency shortcomings. Consequently, it outperforms the Fulda's EcoControl HP2, which, even with its strengths in environmental characteristics and aquaplaning, is surpassed by the Continental tyre in overall test ranking and wet road handling.
