Today, we're comparing two well-rated summer tyres: Fulda SportControl 2 made by Fulda and Continental PremiumContact 6 made by Continental.
Fulda SportControl 2
Scoring 84%, the Fulda SportControl 2 does not disappoint. It does not have a predecessor and no model has replaced it yet. It secured a fair 9th position out of 52 tyres in the Autobild test. Its main strengths include aquaplaning resistance as well as comfort, exterior noise, and rolling resistance. The 2022 Autobild summary highlighted its good comfort, low rolling resistance, and good performance on both wet and dry roads. However, it faces some drawbacks related to extended wet braking distances and mediocre dry handling.
Continental PremiumContact 6
Continental's PremiumContact 6, with an impressive 87% rating, tops the chart. A successor to the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5, its newer model is the Continental PremiumContact 7. It ranked 1st in the Autobild test, boasting top features like dry handling, mileage, value for money, and dry braking. The 2022 Autobild summary praised it for its stable driving characteristics on dry terrain and good comfort but reported deficiencies such as low aquaplaning safety reserves and extended wet braking distances.
Verdict
To sum up, both tyres perform commendably in their respective areas but Continental PremiumContact 6 outperforms the Fulda SportControl 2 in overall ratings and test positioning. PremiumContact 6's superior dry handling and mileage make it a more reliable option for summer driving, notwithstanding a few reported drawbacks. Comparatively, Fulda SportControl 2 offers a nice balance in terms of comfort and noise, but falls behind in terms of wet braking distances and handling on dry surfaces.
Continental's superior ranking might also be attributed to it being a touring tyre, engineered for long-distance comfort and durable performance, whereas the Fulda model lacks a subtype specification. Both models, however, serve as great summer tyre options for motorists, offering impressive features and reliable performance.
