However, the Nexen N fera Sport, demonstrating superior in Aquaplaning - longitudinal and Wet braking, reached a higher rank at 7th position.
Despite this, both tyres have their own strengths and weaknesses as the Nexen N fera Sport is praised for its Short dry brake distances, low rolling noise, and moderate price, but is marked down for understeering handling behaviour and only average tread life. On the other hand, the Fulda SportControl 2 receives positive remarks for Balanced and safe handling characteristics on wet roads and its low price, but with criticism of extended wet braking distances and slightly delayed steering response.
Looking at the Autobild 2022 test, the Fulda SportControl 2 is heralded for its brand profile with safe driving characteristics on wet and dry roads, good aquaplaning qualities, short dry braking distances, low rolling resistance, and good comfort. However, it also displayed extended wet braking distances, moderate lateral guidance on dry tracks, and indirect steering response.
In conclusion, though the Nexen N fera Sport excels in certain areas and outperforms Fulda SportControl 2 in the Autobild test, the latter presents a more balanced performance overall. Nevertheless, both options appear to offer good value for money, and the specific needs of the driver should guide the ultimate choice of tyre.
