Comparison: Firestone Roadhawk vs. Fulda EcoControl HP vs. BFGoodrich Advantage

In the world of summer tyres, two models stand out: the Firestone Roadhawk and the Fulda EcoControl HP. Both known for their impressive performance and competitive pricing, these tyres from Firestone and Fulda, respectively, have been the choice of numerous drivers worldwide. Today, we dive into an in-depth comparison between the two, based on extensive test results and expert reviews.


First up is the Firestone Roadhawk, which impressively secured the 3rd position out of 51 tyres in an Autobild test, and the 4th position out of 16 tyres in an ADAC test. Despite this strong showing, the Firestone Roadhawk received an overall rating of 57% from us.


A strong point of this tyre is its performance, which has been steadily consistent across different tests, highlighting its reliable and robust nature. However, it's crucial to note that the Firestone Roadhawk model has been replaced by a newer model.


Moving on to the Fulda EcoControl HP, this tyre came in 17th out of 51 tyres in an Autobild test and 10th out of 16 tyres in an ADAC test. Unfortunately, in our rating, it did not score well. But despite this, the Fulda EcoControl HP is not without its merits.


It scored particularly high in categories such as mileage and price/value in multiple tests. This indicates that the tyre could be a cost-effective option for drivers, mainly if used for city driving or on roads not known for their harsh conditions. Also, a new version of this tyre has since been launched.


In conclusion, if the decision is based solely on test positions, the Firestone Roadhawk seems to outperform the Fulda EcoControl HP. Its superior performance and consistency across different tests make it a reliable choice. However, if factors like mileage and price/value are of utmost importance, the Fulda EcoControl HP might prove to be a more economical choice.


Ultimately, the choice between the two would depend on the individual driver's requirements, driving habits and conditions. Both tyres have their strengths and also, importantly, newer versions that might offer improved performance - definitely worth checking out.
