Today we are comparing two popular tyre models, the Fulda SportControl 2 and the Nexen N Fera Primus. Both tyres are summer models designed for great performance in dry and wet conditions.
The Fulda SportControl 2, made by Fulda, is a high performer making it a popular choice among drivers. It earned a rating of 74% on our site. The strengths of SportControl 2 lie in its capability at aquaplaning and short braking distances on both wet and dry roads. However, in tests, it showed a noticeably delayed steering response and only average tread life. For instance, in Autobild 2021, it performed well overall but was placed 13th out of 51 tyres, indicating that there are other models delivering better overall performance. In the ADAC test, it was positioned 7th out of 16 tyres evaluated.
The Nexen N Fera Primus from Nexen received a slightly lower rating of 71% on our site, but it still offers many attractive features for drivers. The tyre shows exemplary performance in aquaplaning, secure handling on wet roads, and short wet braking distances. On the downside, there's an understeering dry handling and significantly limited tread life, with an increased rolling resistance. In the Autobild test, N Fera Primus outranked Fulda SportControl 2 with the 10th position. However, in the ADAC test, it slipped to the 11th place out of 16.
It is important to note that neither of these tyres has been replaced by a newer model yet, as indicated on our site. Both are good options for summer driving, but the choice between Fulda SportControl 2 and Nexen N Fera Primus depends on the individual's driving conditions and preferences. For better aquaplaning and wet performance, Nexen N Fera Primus seems to be the better option. But if you seek a balance of both, dry and wet road performance, along with better tyre life, Fulda SportControl 2 can be your pick.
In conclusion, it's fair to say that both tyres are good and reliable options. The Fulda SportControl 2 may be a more suitable option for those who value a good price/performance ratio and can tolerate a slightly delayed steering response. Nexen N Fera Primus stands out with exceptional aquaplaning characteristics and safe wet handling but falls short on dry handling and tread life. Carefully consider your driving habits and conditions before making your choice.
