The Laufenn S Fit EQ and the Fulda SportControl 2 are two summer tyres that have undergone comprehensive testing. According to our ratings, whilst the Fulda comes out as the larger favoured of the two, both have their strengths.
The Laufenn S Fit EQ earned a fair rating of 46%. Although it landed the 44th position out of 53 tested tyres by Autobild, the tyre's features make it a reasonable value for the price. Its strengths lie in its secure aqua planning properties, short dry braking distances and good rolling comfort. However, feedback indicates restricted grip and longer braking distances on wet roads - not ideal for rainy summer days - and moderate mileage performance. These drawbacks may require addressing Laufenn's future models.
Contrarily, the Fulda SportControl 2 demonstrated an impressive performance, with a high rating of 74% in our evaluation. This tyre managed a laudable 12th position in the Autobild test, standing out due to its low exterior noise, excellent comfort, minimal rolling resistance and highly-rated cross aquaplaning performance. While it's plus points include good reserves at aquaplaning and short braking distances on dry and wet surfaces, some concerns were raised about a markedly delayed steering response and modest mileage performance. However, its cost-to-performance ratio solidifies its position as a worthy investment. Fulda
In summary, the Laufann S Fit EQ provides a cheaper though less efficient alternative, while the Fulda SportControl 2 offers superior features and overall performance but at a higher price. Carefully weigh your priorities - be it comfort, handling, noise, or resistance - against your budget before making your final choice.
Neither tyre has been replaced by a newer model yet, meaning that both are currently representing the pinnacle of their respective manufacturer's offers in this category. Both tyres certainly have their merits, and potential buyers are advised to study various reviews and tests to ensure they get the tyre that's best suited for their needs.
