Comparison: Fulda MultiControl vs. GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 vs. Continental AllSeasonContact 2

If you're looking for a comprehensive comparison of allround tyres, the Fulda MultiControl and GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 are worth considering. In our tests, we rated the Fulda MultiControl with a 60%, while the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 significantly outperformed with an impressive rating of 80%. Here's our detailed comparison.

Fulda MultiControl

This tyre unfortunately often ranked low in tests, for example, it landed the 27th spot out of 37 in an AUTOBILD test and the 26th spot in a total of 32 in an Autobild test. Despite this, it continues to be a respectable allround tyre for those on a tight budget. However, the MultiControl is seemingly due for an upgrade, as it currently has no newer model replacement.

GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3

This tyre made by GoodYear, however, has been a consistent top performer in tests, rightfully earning its high rating. It's worth noting that this is the third generation of the Vector 4Seasons line, with the predecessor models being the Gen-2 and the original. This version improves upon the strengths of its predecessors and addresses previous weaknesses. In AUTOBILD tests for instance, it ranked impressively in 6th and 4th places respectively.
Test summaries have highlighted several key strengths of the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3, including its high-level performance across a range of weather conditions, excellent aquaplaning reserves, and sporty and secure handling. Notable features were snow braking, wet circle cornering, dry handling, snow traction, and aquaplaning resistance. The only significant drawback mentioned has been its average mileage, although other versions of the tyre received praise for very good mileage.

Conclusion

Overall, the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 is the stronger choice, delivering superior, balanced performance in a range of conditions. The Fulda MultiControl, while still a reliable choice, simply doesn't perform as well in head-to-head tests. We encourage you to consider these facts and your personal priorities when choosing the right allround tyre for your vehicle.
