1 mutual test(s) with detailed data

The Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 and the Fulda EcoControl HP are both summer tyres from reputable manufacturers Hankook and Fulda respectively. They have both been evaluated in our tests and this comparison review aims to summarize the results, compare the key features, and give a verdict on their strengths and weaknesses.
The Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125, with our rating of 52%, is a performance tyre that stands out in dry handling conditions. Manufactured in Hungary, this tyre was first fitted on the Citroën C3 Aircross. Ranked at 2nd out of 50 tyres by AutoBild and 5th out of 16 by ADAC, its strengths lie mostly in its superior dry handling abilities. This model has been replaced by the Hankook Ventus Prime 4.
On the other hand, the Fulda EcoControl HP received great feedback for its mileage and price/value combination, in spite of not receiving a rating from our tests. This tyre achieved the 7th position out of 50 tyres in the AutoBild test and the 10th position out of 16 in the ADAC test. The newer model that replaced the Fulda EcoControl HP is the Fulda EcoControl HP2.
Both the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 and the Fulda EcoControl HP are competitive summer options. The choice between the two will depend on your specific needs and priorities. If excellent dry handling is a critical factor, the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 appears to have the edge. However, if mileage and value outrank all other factors, the Fulda EcoControl HP might be your better choice.
Our verdict does not discount that both tyres have been replaced by newer models - the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 and the Fulda EcoControl HP2, respectively. As manufacturers continuously strive to develop their products, it's always worth checking the latest models for potentially enhanced features and capabilities.
