Today let's focus on the comparison of two reliable choices of summer tyres - the Maxxis Premitra HP5 and Fulda EcoControl HP2, from the reputable manufacturers Maxxis and Fulda respectively.
The Maxxis Premitra HP5 has noted strengths in aquaplaning both cross and longitudinal, and dry braking as per Autobild's tests. However, it shows a slower response in steering and lower grip levels on both wet and dry surfaces which might be a point of consideration for certain drivers. It secured the 9th position among 53 tyres in Autobild's test and 10th places out of 15 in ADAC's test, earning an overall rating of 56% on our site.
On the other hand, the Fulda EcoControl HP2, which replaced the previous EcoControl HP, is known for its low exterior noise and excellent performance in aquaplaning. It showed superior results in dry braking and has outstanding mileage, making it a cost-effective choice. However, it showed mediocre lateral control on dry roads. It ranked 20th in Autobild's test among 53 tyres and 8th out of 15 in ADAC's, leading to our overall rating of 69%.
To summarize, both tyres are strong contenders for summer usage with distinctive strengths in their different domains. The Maxxis Premitra HP5 stands out for its superior aquaplaning performance and dry braking distances while the Fulda EcoControl HP2 excels due to its efficient noise control, mileage longevity, and aquaplaning performance.
Despite a few weaknesses, such as delayed steering response and mediocre grip levels for the Maxxis Premitra HP5, and reduced lateral control on dry roads for the Fulda EcoControl HP2, both tyres should hardly disappoint, especially for their cost-effectiveness. However, considering overall test performances and ratings, the Fulda EcoControl HP2 seems to edge over the Maxxis Premitra HP5.
