In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (
Toyo) against a tyre from a manufacturer from Germany (
Fulda). Generally,
Fulda winter tyres are slightly better rated (64%) than
Toyo (58%). In this particular case, the Fulda Kristall Control HP2 has a better rating of 64% compared to 51% of the Toyo Observe S944. The first tyre test of Toyo Observe S944 was done in 2020, compared to 2017 when was the Fulda Kristall Control HP2 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2023 225/45 R18 test, where both the
Observe S944 and the
Kristall Control HP2 were tested. See more mutual tests below. We also know where
Observe S944 is made - Japan.
