This comparison focuses on two performance-oriented summer tyres: the
Fulda EcoControl HP2
and the
Nokian WetProof.

Fulda EcoControl HP2

The
Fulda EcoControl HP2
scores a rating of 71% in our tests. This model replaces the previous Fulda EcoControl HP model. Made by
Fulda,
this summer tyre has been particularly appreciated for its performance in aquaplaning and noise tests. Nevertheless, it does not completely balance performance, showing weaknesses in wet condition tests. Despite these, the Fulda EcoControl HP2 has been praised for its good environmental efficiency and longevity.

Nokian WetProof

The
Nokian WetProof
, manufactured in Finland by
Nokian,
obtains a slightly higher overall rating of 74%. It performs well on both dry and wet roads and is efficient, but has been criticized for its environmental impact and its longevity. This tyre also shows slight weaknesses in terms of sustainability. Its best features are its low noise and wet circle cornering.

Comparison

In the ADAC mutual test, the Fulda EcoControl HP2 came 8th out of 15, while the Nokian WetProof was just behind in 11th position. On the other hand, in a comprehensive test by Autobild, the Nokian WetProof significantly outperformed the Fulda EcoControl HP2, finishing 6th out of 53, compared to the latter's 20th position.

Verdict

Overall, it seems that if you are looking for a more balanced tyre and better overall performance, the Nokian WetProof is a more competitive option than the Fulda EcoControl HP2. On the other hand, if environmental considerations and longevity are important factors for you, you might favor the Fulda EcoControl HP2 despite its slightly lower general performance.
