Comparison: Fulda SportControl 2 vs. Kumho Ecsta PS71 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 vs. Falken e.Ziex vs. Goodyear Efficientgrip 2 SUV

When we compare the Fulda SportControl 2 to the Kumho Ecsta PS71, we see some slight differences that could play a significant role in your tyre choice. According to our rating, the Fulda tyre scores a bit higher with 74% compared to the Kumho tyre's rating of 68%.


Manufactured by Fulda, the SportControl 2 is a summer tyre that stands out for a couple of reasons. Its best features, as stated in the Autobild test, include its exterior noise, comfort, rolling resistance, and its ability to resist aquaplaning.


In the same test, the Fulda SportControl 2 took the 12th position out of 53 tyres, which is a quite significant achievement. However, the autozeitung 2022 testing did raise concerns over longer wet braking distances and slightly delayed steering response. Yet, the tyre received praise for its balanced and safe handling on wet roads, as well as its affordable price.


On the other hand, the Kumho Ecsta PS71, produced by Kumho, also has its strong points. In the Autobild test, this tyre found itself in 18th place out of 53. The tyre particularly shines in its performance potential, excellent handling, and short wet and dry braking distances. All these, coupled with a fair price, make it a strong contender in the tyre market.


However, one disadvantage raised in the autozeitung 2022 test was an increased level of driving noise. Despite this, the Ecsta PS71's performance and price balance still makes it an ideal choice for many.


Verdict: Overall, The Fulda SportControl 2 seems slightly superior according to the tests. The quiet drive and excellent resistance to aquaplaning give it a slight edge over the Kumho Ecsta PS71. However, both tyres perform well in their ways, and the final decision may depend on individual preferences and driving conditions.
