Comparison: Fulda MultiControl vs. Continental AllSeasonContact 2 vs. Hankook ION FlexClimate

Head-to-head: Fulda MultiControl vs. Continental AllSeasonContact 2


In independent tyre tests the two all-season contenders occupy very different positions. The Fulda MultiControl finished near the back of the field (positions 29/35 and 27/37 in two AUTOBILD rounds) and carries a very low internal score (our rating: 3%). By contrast the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 ranks among the best (positions 5/35 and 3/37) with a strong overall score (our rating: 87%).


Neither tyre is recorded as having been replaced in our dataset; note that the AllSeasonContact 2 is the successor to the original AllSeasonContact and represents Continental’s updated all-season offering.


Summary of test performance



  • Continental AllSeasonContact 2 — consistently top-tier in wet and winter disciplines. Test reports highlight wet handling, dry handling, snow traction, wet braking, and low exterior noise. AUTOBILD summaries praise it as a balanced “multitalent” with convincing performance on all surfaces, very good snow and ice behaviour, short braking distances and sporty, safe handling on wet roads. Downsides reported include only average aquaplaning reserves and a somewhat higher price point.

  • Fulda MultiControl — placed near the bottom in the same AUTOBILD tests, indicating clear weaknesses across the board relative to the Continental. Test positions suggest shortcomings in grip, braking and dynamic handling compared with the test leaders.


Strengths and weaknesses


Continental AllSeasonContact 2 strengths:


  • Excellent wet and winter performance: reliable wet handling, short braking distances and impressive snow traction and cornering.

  • Low noise and rolling resistance: contributes to comfort and economy.

  • High overall balance: strong across most test criteria—suitable for drivers who need one tyre for varied conditions.


Weaknesses: average aquaplaning margins and a premium price tag; slight tendency to understeer at the limits per some reports.


Fulda MultiControl strengths:


  • Value proposition potential (Fulda marketed as mid-tier brand) — but the tests do not reflect competitive performance.


Weaknesses: clear deficits in braking, handling and traction compared with top all-season tyres; low test positions indicate it is not recommended where wet and winter safety are priorities.


Overall verdict — which tyre is better?


Across the shared test programmes the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the clear winner. Its top-5 / top-3 finishes and consistently praised wet/snow behaviour make it the superior all-season choice for safety, comfort and year-round usability. The Fulda MultiControl trails by a wide margin in the same tests and should only be considered where budget constraints trump performance — and even then potential buyers should weigh the safety compromises.
