Comparison: Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 vs. Fulda SportControl 2 vs. Kleber Dynaxer UHP vs. Federal Evoluzion ST-1
Allow us to examine two popular tyres: the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 and the Fulda SportControl 2. Both tyres are tailored for the summer months, with Hankook's model designed specifically for ultra-high-performance vehicles.
Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127
Manufactured by Hankook in Korea, the Ventus S1 evo3 K127 impresses with an 81% rating from our team. It's been used as original equipment on notable vehicles like Audi Q8, Audi SQ8, Porsche Cayenne, and the BMW X3. In Autobild's tests, it finished third out of 53 tyres, with its dry and wet braking demonstrating remarkable strength. Additional reviews in autobild 2022 and 2023 attest to the tyre's impressive handling, both in wet and dry conditions. However, the subpar mileage, slightly limited safety reserves at curve aquaplaning, and a bit higher noise were cited as drawbacks.
Fulda SportControl 2
The Fulda SportControl 2, meanwhile, surpasses the Hankook model slightly, earning an 84% rating from our team. It came in 12th position in Autobild's test and was praised for its comfort, exterior noise level, rolling resistance, and ability to handle cross aquaplaning. Reviewers consistently noted that the tyre offers balanced, safe handling on wet surfaces, and excels at aquaplaning, dry braking, and comfort. Areas of improvement include slightly longer wet braking distances, slower steering response, and less precise dry surface cornering.
Verdict: Here's a concise wrap-up of our comparison: If dry and wet braking are top of your priority list, the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 is a solid choice. However, if overall case of handling, and controlling are more significant, the Fulda SportControl 2, with a superior rating and commendation for these, should be your top pick. Both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses, so your decision should also take into account your specific requirements and driving conditions.
