Ranked #11 of 20
The Fulda EcoControl HP2 secured the 11th position out of 20 competitors, earning a "Good" final rating. This tire distinguished itself with short braking distances on dry surfaces and was notably quiet, contributing to a reduction in exterior noise – a category in which it performed the best. Additionally, its remarkable mileage and economic efficiency were praised. However, its performance was tempered by mediocre lateral grip on dry roads, which restrained its overall ranking. Despite this, the tire's strengths in durability and noise reduction alongside its cost-effectiveness make it a commendable choice.

Ranked #13 of 50
Securing its position at 13 out of 50 competitors, the Fulda EcoControl HP2 stood out with a final rating of 'Good', reflecting a strong performance in several key aspects. It was recognized for its positive environmental impact, showing commendable results in longevity, wear, and efficiency, which highlights its low fuel consumption and lightweight design. However, the tyre exhibited some limitations, notably a less balanced performance with weaknesses on wet surfaces that influenced its overall safety rating. Despite a satisfactory performance on dry roads, where it demonstrated safety up to a certain extent and a good braking distance, its abilities on wet roads left room for improvement. The tyre showed good resistance to aquaplaning but faced challenges with wet braking and handling, achieving only satisfactory levels in gripping and managing longitudinal and lateral forces. These factors culminated in a mixed overall conclusion on its safety, alongside an admirable environmental profile.
