In a comparison of two summer tyres, the Fulda SportControl 2 and the Uniroyal RainSport 5, extensive details and testing results provide valuable insight into the strengths and weaknesses of both models.
The Fulda SportControl 2, manufactured by Fulda, achieved an overall rating of 84% on our website. It made a solid presentation in the Autobild test, ranking 13 out of 51 total tyres evaluated. In the ADAC 2021 results, it was commended for its secure handling on wet roads and its comparatively lower cost. However, the tyre faced criticism for its delayed response during steering and extended wet braking distances. A similar observation came up in the Autobild 2023 evaluation, where the tyre's delayed steering response and subpar mileage were pointed out as negatives. Nevertheless, its excellent water planing resistance and short braking distances on wet and dry roads, along with its reasonable price-performance ratio, were highlighted as strengths.
On the flip side, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 provided by Uniroyal, was rated at 72% on our website. In mutual tests, it lagged behind the Fulda SportControl 2, securing the 36th position in the Autobild test. However, it dominated in the 'aquaplaning' feature, performing exceptionally well both on a cross and longitudinal basis during Autobild tests. While it didn't outshine its competitor in general performance, this Ultra High Performance (UHP) tyre proves itself as a reliable choice for wet conditions.
In conclusion, both tyres have their unique merits. The Fulda SportControl 2 stands out with strong overall performance and secure handling, despite its slower steering response and extended wet braking distances. The Uniroyal RainSport 5 impresses as an UHP tyre, delivering exceptional aquaplaning resistance, which makes it an outstanding choice for wet conditions. Therefore, the decision between the two would depend on the specific requirements and driving conditions of the users.
