Comparison: Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 vs. Fulda SportControl 2 vs. Bridgestone Turanza T001 vs. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3
The Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 and the Fulda SportControl 2 are two competitive formats getting attention in the tyre industry.
Hankook's Ventus Prime3 K125 stands out for its dry handling, earning a distinction as the best feature in the ACE test. Aesthetically appealing for the Citroën C3 Aircross, the tyre is manufactured in Hungary and offers a debut credibility of 52%. However, the model does have its replacement under the badge of Hankook Ventus Prime 4, expected to improve upon the previous qualities.
On the other hand, Fulda's SportControl 2 holds a high-rank—with an impressive rating of 69%—on the summer tyre category. Although the product's exact origin is unspecified, it nonchalantly takes the third position in the ACE test, flaunting its best attributes such as wet handling, objective wet handling, wet circle cornering, and exterior noise besides dry handling. The model currently doesn't have a newer edition, unlike its counterpart.
In a nutshell, the Furda SportControl 2 whipped its competitor by securing the third position among nine participants in the ACE test. Despite faring eighth, the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 distinguished itself with the prime feature of dry handling. Comparatively, the Hankook model outran the Fulda tyre in the Autobild test, clinching the second position from 52.
The Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 positives point towards the dry handling and its high association with cars such as the Citroën C3 Aircross. However, the Fulda tyre, linkable at Fulda's site, stands superior with its wider range of strong features, enhancing its standing.
The overall comparison, hinting towards mobility and efficiency, indicates a stronger performance by Fulda SportControl 2 across multiple tests. The tyre delivers appreciable wet performance, cornering, dry handling, and low exterior noise, proving to be a valuable summer tyre choice. Yet, the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 is a potential option, particularly when focusing on dry handling performance.
