Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Sport

With sport tyres, grip in every situation is what decides — under hard acceleration, under braking, in the dry and in the wet. Fulda SPORTCONTROL 2 belongs to this group. Stability at higher speeds and precision through corners come on top of that. One thing drivers often underestimate when buying: grip comes from a softer compound, and a softer compound wears faster. Where a standard tyre covers roughly 40,000 km, a sport tyre manages about 20,000 to 30,000 km — and considerably less with a sharper driving style or a heavier, more powerful car.

Good tire on the rear of a C-Class. No negative impact and quiet. It also looks good. Sturdy tread blocks.

I don`t recommend these tyres. I had them fitted on the car when I bought it. There is absolute lack of feedback from the tyres. You are near the limit and there is no communication. I found it very dangerous and tried it only once. I never experienced such a behavior, but I am used to premium and sporty tyres. Overall I don`t recommend them, but their might be fine for some slow city driving...

Excellent tires for an acceptable price. I mostly drove premium brands, but last month I bought Fulda Sportcontrol2 on sale and they are better than I expected. Extremely quiet, excellent on dry and wet, comfortable and give a nice feeling on the steering wheel. The car is a Peugeot 607 2.2hdi 170HP and the size is 225/50r17. The price was around 400e for 4 tires. My sincere recommendation

Wow. I'm impressed with these tyres. I replaced the existing Hankooks with the Fuldas and the improvements can be seen - and felt - on all levels. Dry grip is better than the Hankooks - as is wet grip - which inspires confidence in general driving whatever the conditions. The biggest differences though are in driving comfort and steering feedback with tyre noise much reduced too. It all results in a competent tyre that keeps it's composure when the need for spirited driving arises. The only area that is a slight negative is slightly increased tyre wear but that's a compromise I can live with. The Fulda Sport Contact 2 is not the cheapest on the market but then it's nowhere near the most expensive either. A full set of four tyres in my car's size cost the same a pair of Michelin's so in that respect the Fuldas represent very good value for money. I like these tyres and would absolutely buy them again.
