Talking about the great summer tyres available in the market, we should compare and discuss the Imperial EcoSport 2 and Fulda SportControl 2 tyres. Both are brilliant options, but we will examine the data from various tests to see how they perform against each other.
First, let's dive into the Imperial EcoSport 2 tyre. Apparently, it has not been replaced by a newer model yet, so it should still be fully available and supported by Imperial. However, based on the data we have crunched, this tyre had a rather underwhelming result, scoring a 0% in our rating. This result is quite surprising, considering Imperial's reputation for quality tyres.
On the other side, the Fulda SportControl 2, which also stands unreplaced by any newer model, overall proved to be a much stronger performer in the tyre tests. Rated at 74% in our rating system, which is very respectable, the Fulda tyre certainly stacks up against the competition.
Now, let's dive into specific tyres test results. In the Autobild test, of the 53 tyres tested, the Imperial EcoSport 2 came in at the 41st position, which unfortunately reflects its lack of stellar performance. In stark contrast, the Fulda SportControl 2 shot to 12th position, coming out as one of the top performers in the tyre industry.
The Fulda SportControl 2 is especially known for its exterior noise, comfort, rolling resistance, and cross-aquaplaning abilities - this tyre truly shines when the weather conditions get tough. The ADAC 2017 test also praised the Fulda SportControl 2 for its good reserves in aquaplaning situations, short braking distances on wet and dry tracks, and a solid price to performance ratio. However, it mentions a delayed steering response and average mileage as drawbacks, which can be considered as minor setbacks when considered its other great features.
In conclusion, if you have to choose between the Imperial EcoSport 2 and the Fulda SportControl 2, the latter appears to be the more reliable and overall better-performing choice for a summer tyre. This doesn’t mean the Imperial EcoSport 2 is a bad tyre, but it might not be the most satisfactory choice when it comes to overall performance, at least, based on the data from our tests. Your choice will still depend on your individual needs and driving habits.
