Comparison: Fulda SportControl 2 vs. Bridgestone Turanza T005 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Continental UltraContact NXT

In this article, we are comparing two popular summer tyres: the Fulda SportControl 2 from Fulda, and the Bridgestone Turanza T005 from Bridgestone. Both of these tyres have established reputations for their performance, but let's see how they fare head-to-head.


The Bridgestone Turanza T005 is a touring summer tyre that claims to provide exceptional grip and excellent wet and dry handling. The tyre is noted for its precise steering and short wet and dry braking distances. Its limited tread life is a reported downside, but overall, it earned an impressive rating of 89% from our tests. In the Autobild test, the Turanza T005 also ranked a commendable 10th out of 53 tyres, showing prowess particularly in dry and wet braking, cornering, handling, and rolling resistance.


On the other hand, the Fulda SportControl 2 is also a compelling choice for summer tyres. This model, however, seems to focus more on aquaplaning resistance and short dry and wet braking distances. Despite some issues with delayed steering response and moderate tread life, the SportControl 2 still scored a noteworthy 84% in our tests. In the Autobild test, it also performed commendably, ranking 12th out of 53 tyres and scoring high on its aquaplaning attributes.


Both tyres fare exceptionally well in wet and dry conditions. However, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 takes the lead with its all-rounded test results and slightly superior rating. The Fulda SportControl 2, while also strong, could improve on steering response and tread life.


In conclusion, if you are looking for a tyre with high aquaplaning resistance and satisfactory performance in both wet and dry conditions, the Fulda SportControl 2 is a solid choice. However, if you prefer a tyre with superior overall performance, precise steering, and short braking distances, then the Bridgestone Turanza T005 emerges as the more balanced and robust option.
