Detailed head-to-head comparison based on actual test results
Let's compare two summer tyres, the Nokian Powerproof and the Fulda SportControl 2, both highly rated choices when it comes to grip and performance. Here, we'll examine their strengths and shortcomings as revealed in multiple tests, and summarize which is the overall better tyre.
The Nokian Powerproof, manufactured in Finland, has proven to be a reliable tyre, with our rating of 71%. Strong in dry braking and wet braking, it secured the 7th position among 11 tyres tested by Autobild. In the Autobild 2022 tests, it demonstrated good aquaplaning properties and convincing dynamic wet handling, together with short braking distances. However, it showed a delayed steering response and reduced stability on dry tracks, restricted mileage and a high price level.
On the other hand, the Fulda SportControl 2 stands out with our rating of 84%. Despite its 11th position in the Autobild test, it has some notable strengths. It scored well in terms of exterior noise, comfort, and rolling resistance. According to the Autobild 2022 summary, this tyre showed good aquaplaning reserves and short braking distances on both wet and dry tracks. Additionally, it has a good price-performance ratio. Nevertheless, its downsides include noticeably delayed steering response and modest mileage.
In summary, while both tyres demonstrate good braking performance and aquaplaning properties, the Nokian Powerproof shines in wet conditions, but falls short in terms of steering on dry tracks and overall price. The Fulda SportControl 2 scores high for comfort and noise level but lacks in steering response and mileage.
Neither of these tyres have been replaced by newer models yet. For further information, visit the official manufacturer's page for Fulda tyres and for Nokian tyres.
In conclusion, the choice between these two tyres would significantly depend on your specific driving needs and budget. Both tyres perform exceedingly well in their respective strengths and have minor weak points to consider.
