Comparison: Pirelli P ZERO vs. Fulda SportControl 2 vs. Hankook ION Evo vs. Falken e.Ziex vs. Pirelli P ZERO PZ4

In this comparison, we will analyze two high-performance summer tyres: the Pirelli P ZERO and the Fulda SportControl 2. Both tyres have been tested by Autobild, among a total of 53 models, yielding valuable insights about their performances.


The Pirelli P ZERO is a product of Pirelli, a renowned Italian manufacturer. This model stands out for its remarkable performance on both dry and wet conditions. It was positioned 4th in the Autobild test; the best features noted were its dry and wet handling, wet circle cornering, and braking capabilities on both dry and wet surfaces.


On the other hand, we have the Fulda SportControl 2, a tyre that was ranked 12th in the same test. Despite falling behind Pirelli P ZERO in overall position, this tyre demonstrated impressive performance in certain areas. The tests revealed that the Fulda SportControl 2 excels in a quieter exterior noise and overall comfort, it possesses excellent resistance to aquaplaning - cross, and offers lower rolling resistance, which can contribute to fuel efficiency. This tyre is a product from Fulda, a company recognized for its expertise in tyre manufacturing.


Neither of the two models have been superseded by newer ones, as indicated in the data. When comparing the two tyres, it is evident that the Pirelli P ZERO won in the overall ranking, placed at an impressive 4th place out of 53 tyres in one of the most rigorous tests. Its strengths in dry handling, wet handling, and braking make it a robust high-performance summer tyre. However, customers seeking a quieter and more comfortable ride might prefer the Fulda SportControl 2, which also showed promising resistance to aquaplaning.


In brief, this suggests that while the Pirelli P Zero may be a more compelling choice for speed and performance enthusiasts, the Fulda SportControl 2 could appeal more to those prioritizing a quieter and comfortable ride along with some fuel efficiency benefits. Buyers should weigh these factors against their driving habits and conditions to select the tyre which suits their needs best.
