The Kumho Ecsta HS52, a successor of the Kumho Ecsta HS51, is notable for its reliable dry and wet braking and dry handling. It holds an overall rating of 73% in our review and has outperformed in the 'Autobild' and 'ADAC' tests, securing 2nd and 8th positions respectively out of 55 and 50 tyres. However, the tyre displayed slight environmental imbalance, efficiency weaknesses and sustainability weaknesses.


On the other hand, the Fulda EcoControl HP2, replacing the Fulda EcoControl HP, is known for its excellent exterior noise reduction, mileage, and efficiency. In our reviews, it received a score of 69%, and ranked 16th in the 'Autobild' test and 13th in the 'ADAC' test. It's well balanced in terms of environmental balance, mileage, and efficiency. Yet, it showed some deficits, particularly its difficulties on wet road surfaces.


When we analyze the best features, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 shows a clear lead in its capabilities to handle dry and wet conditions. However, the Fulda EcoControl HP2 scores better in certain areas such as noise reduction and efficiency.


To conclude, both tyres offer the qualities expected of products from reputable manufacturers like Kumho and Fulda. However, with a higher score in our review and consistently better rankings in peer tests, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 emerges as the superior tyre. But the discrepancy in performance is small, and the choice between these two largely depends on individual needs and contexts.
