Comparison: Fulda MultiControl vs. Firestone Multiseason 2 vs. Falken e.Ziex

Quick summary: In head-to-head test results the Firestone Multiseason 2 consistently outperforms the Fulda MultiControl. Firestone shows clear strengths in snow traction, rolling resistance and value-for-money, while Fulda places near the bottom of comparable Autobild tests and offers no test highlights in the provided dataset. Neither model is marked as replaced by a newer direct successor.

Test positions and overall comparison

• Autobild (32 tyres): Fulda MultiControl finished 26th of 32, Firestone Multiseason 2 finished 6th.


• AUTOBILD (37 tyres): Fulda finished 27th of 37, Firestone finished 22nd.


• Internal ratings: Firestone shows a mid-range score (about 56%), while Fulda is recorded with a very low rating (3%) in the supplied data.

Firestone Multiseason 2 — strengths & weaknesses
The Firestone Multiseason 2 (manufactured in Italy; see Firestone) is presented in multiple Autobild reports as a strong performer in mixed-conditions testing. Key positives across tests:

• Excellent snow traction and short braking distances on snow — repeatedly highlighted as a core strength.


• Low rolling resistance and high mileage, contributing to fuel-efficiency and long wear.


• Good wet/dry handling dynamics in earlier tests and a consistently attractive price/value ratio.

Fulda MultiControl — strengths & weaknesses
The Fulda MultiControl (see manufacturer: Fulda) shows consistently low placements in the available Autobild tests (26/32 and 27/37). The supplied dataset contains no positive bullet points for the Fulda model and its internal rating is markedly low, indicating it underperformed across the measured disciplines. From that we can conclude:

• Weaknesses: overall poor competitiveness versus peers in the same test fields — likely deficits in braking, grip and/or wet performance given the low standings.


• Strengths: none explicitly documented in the provided test summaries.

Head-to-head verdict
Across the shared test reports, the Firestone Multiseason 2 is the clear winner. It consistently ranks substantially higher in Autobild tests, offers documented advantages in snow braking, rolling resistance and mileage, and scores solid value-for-money marks. The Fulda MultiControl fails to show comparable results and sits near the bottom of the test grids — it cannot be recommended when compared to the Firestone based on the available data.
