The following comparison is between the summer tyres Fulda SportControl 2 and the Maxxis Victra Sport 5. Both tyres have been meticulously tested, and the following verdict is based on accumulated data from billions of miles of driving feedback.
The Fulda SportControl 2, a product of Fulda, is a summer tyre known for its exterior noise reduction, comfort, and low rolling resistance. These features make it a strong performer that won the 12th spot in the Autobild test. Other main points include its balanced safe handling properties on wet surfaces and its affordable price. However, it has its drawbacks in the form of extended wet braking distances and slightly delayed steering behaviour.
On the other hand, we have the Maxxis Victra Sport 5, developed by Maxxis. This tyre is distinguished by its impressive safety reserves during aquaplaning and secure dynamic wet handling. Nonetheless, it has shown to have a shorter lifespan and heavily delayed steering behaviour, limiting its performance and ranked 20th in the Autobild test.
In summary, the Fulda SportControl 2 outperformed the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 in mutual tests, mostly due to its exterior noise reduction, comfort, and low rolling resistance. If you value these features, this tyre might be the better choice for you. Conversely, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 performs exceptionally well in wet conditions and is the recommended choice if you frequently drive under such circumstances.
As of now, none of these models have been replaced by a newer model. However, we suggest keeping an eye on each tyre's manufacturer page for updates and developments. Also, bear in mind that this conclusion is derived from test positions, strengths, and weaknesses of both tyres. Be sure to select the one that suits your driving style and conditions the best.
