Autozeitung Winter tyre test 2022 225/45 R17

Ranked #6 of 8

Finishing in the 6th position out of 8 competitors, the Fulda Kristall Control HP2 showed a mixed performance in winter conditions. On snow, its capabilities were notably strong; the tyre provided secure traction and excellent side support, demonstrating a great ability to mesh with snowy surfaces - it specially excelled in snow cornering. However, the tyre faced challenges in wet conditions, displaying a relatively high aquaplaning speed alongside long braking distances and weak lateral support, leading to pronounced understeering. In dry conditions, the handling was described as slow and somewhat uncommunicative through the steering, with a quiet rear but a high rolling noise level. Despite these variances in performance across different conditions, it showcased exceptional performance in aquaplaning resistance, particularly in cross aquaplaning scenarios, highlighting its strengths in specific critical areas.
