Comparison: Fulda MultiControl vs. Continental AllSeasonContact

When comparing two all-round tyres: the Fulda MultiControl and Continental AllSeasonContact, there's a lot to consider. Both tyres offer outstanding features adapted to year-round weather conditions. However, they exhibit individual strengths and weaknesses.

The Fulda MultiControl, manufactured by Fulda, doesn't have a rating from us yet, but has received noteworthy feedback in various tyre tests. Particularly, it secured the 2nd place in the ACE tyre test amid 8 tested tyres, showing outstanding abilities in dry handling, snow braking, and snow traction. Meanwhile, its overall position in the Autobild test was less competitive, being 13th out of 27 tyres.

On the other hand, Continental AllSeasonContact, a product of Continental, enjoys an excellent rating of 77% from us. It performs exceptionally well in diverse conditions. According to the Autobild test results, it landed the 5th place among 27 tyres and noted the best features including snow braking, snow cornering, wet circle cornering, comfort, snow traction, rolling resistance, and excellent performance in aquaplaning. Test summaries from autobild 2020 and 2022 highlighted this tyre's best winter qualities, stable wet handling, and low rolling resistance. However, understeering and extended braking distances on dry surfaces were mentioned as its drawbacks.

In a head-to-head comparison in the ACE test, the Continental AllSeasonContact outperformed the Fulda MultiControl by securing the 1st position. It displayed excellent handling in both wet and dry situations, impressively low exterior noise, and remarkably low rolling resistance. The tyre also exhibited superior handling on snow-covered surfaces.

In conclusion, both tyres showcase well-rounded performances. However, Continental AllSeasonContact consistently outperforms the Fulda MultiControl in various tests, often excelling particularly in winter conditions and handling. Thus, while the decision may ultimately come down to personal preferences and specific use cases, overall, the AllSeasonContact can be considered the more refined tyre.
