Comparison: Fulda SportControl 2 vs. Michelin Pilot Sport 5 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Pirelli P ZERO PZ4

The Fulda SportControl 2 and the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 are both summer tyres, but they offer different performances according to tests.


The Fulda SportControl 2, rated 69% by our team, offers balanced and secure handling characteristics on wet roads. Additionally, this tyre is more affordable, making it a decent option for motorists on a budget. However, it does have its drawbacks. Test data reveals that it has extended wet braking distances and slightly delayed steering response. In the AutoBild test, amongst a total of 50 tyres, the Fulda SportControl 2 came at position 18.


In contrast, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5, rates significantly higher at 96% by our team. This ultra-high-performance summer tyre offers precise steering behavior and excellent driving dynamics, with good aquaplaning reserves and short dry and wet braking distances, making it a superior option where performance is concerned. It excelled in the AutoBild test as the tyre came 6th out of 50, with praised features being its prowess in wet braking and mileage. However, this better performance comes at a cost which is a negative point as it's higher-priced compared to the Fulda SportControl 2.
