Comparison: Hankook Ventus Prime 4 vs. Fulda EcoControl HP2 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Kumho Ecsta PS71

When it comes to selecting a perfect tyre for your vehicle, both Hankook Ventus Prime 4 and Fulda EcoControl HP2 are popular choices, each with its unique merits. The Hankook Ventus Prime 4, which replaced the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125, is known for dynamic behavior on both wet and dry tracks, shorter dry braking distances, and lower rolling resistance. Despite these positives, it does exhibit slight weaknesses in terms of efficiency and environmental balance. The overall rating of Ventus Prime 4 stands at 77%.


The Fulda EcoControl HP2, the successor to the Fulda EcoControl HP, scored well in terms of environmental balance, tread life, wear, and efficiency. However, it was slightly less balanced overall and struggled on wet tracks. It carries an overall rating of 69%.

Comparing their performances in various tests, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 ranked better overall. It claimed the 4th position in the Autobild test out of 55 tyres, while the Fulda EcoControl HP2 secured the 16th position, excelling particularly in exterior noise. The positions were relatively similar in the ADAC test, where the Hankook Ventus Prime secured the 9th spot out of 50, and the Fulda EcoControl ranked 13th.


Verdict: Both tyres have their merits and minor drawbacks. However, if you prioritize dynamic behavior, dry braking distances, and overall balanced performance, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 is a better option. If environmental balance, tread life, and noise are higher on your list of priorities, you may want to consider the Fulda EcoControl HP2 instead.
