Comparison: Fulda SportControl 2 vs. Continental PremiumContact 7 vs. Hankook Ventus Evo

When it comes to tyre tests, the Fulda SportControl 2 and Continental PremiumContact 7 are two notable products to consider. By diving deeper into various tests and reviews, we can piece together a succinct comparison between these two models.

The Fulda SportControl 2, which hasn't been replaced by a newer tyre, offers secure driving characteristics on dry surfaces and promises a low fuel consumption due to its light tyre weight. The performance on dry surfaces is strong, but the comfort level may be affected slightly. However, it shows weaknesses in wet conditions and its predicted service life is satisfactory but not stellar. In mutual tests, the Fulda SportControl 2 didn't perform as well as the Continental PremiumContact 7. For instance, in the Autobild test out of 50 tyres, the Fulda SportControl 2 ranked 18th, while in the ADAC test featuring 16 tyres, it managed a 7th position. Overall, the tyre still carries a respectable rating of 69% on our scale.

On the other hand, the Continental PremiumContact 7, made in various European countries, including France, Slovakia, Germany, and Czech Republic, offers exceptionally good results. This summer tyre provides high safety reserves in aquaplaning situations, short braking distances, dynamic handling, a convincing mileage, and very good price-performance ratio. Even though it's pricier, the performance justifies the cost. It's particularly notable in comfort, dry handling and braking, and wet handling and braking. In the Autobild test, this tyre achieved 5th position out of 50, and in the ADAC tests, it grabbed the top spot. Consequently, it receives a strong rating of 97% on our scale.

In summation, although both products from Fulda and Continental have their strengths and weaknesses, it's clear that the Continental PremiumContact 7 outperforms the Fulda SportControl 2 in both individual performance and mutual tests. The margin of difference is substantial enough to lean towards the Continental, but baring in mind the potential cost implications.
