Great tyre. Have been use it for 5 days so far. Very comfortable, and no noise at all! Nothing...Handling is astonished! Dry grip is preety good, dont know nothing about wet grip, didnt have a chance to test it yet. First time i bought Fulda in my life and im really satisfied, for now...

I use these tires for 10000 km now. On dry they have average grip, but if at curve you drive with more speed they lose grip very rapid and the control is hard. Bad tire.

A good mid range tyre which I would describe as a slightly softer touring tyre. Definitely not a UHP in terms of outright grip. The tyres do everything well for normal daily driving. They perform well in the wet and dry but overall better in the dry. They give a good progressive feel but not the direct feel you might get from a £130 plus tyre in this size. My previous tyres were Pirelli P7 Cintarato which I've moved away from due to tyre wall cracking after only a couple of seasons. My reasoning for selecting the Fulda was overall good reviews across multiple review websites, price, made in Germany (and they are, which for some reason I find reassuring), specification (95Y) which tells me the carcass will be robust and tyre walls perhaps a little stiffer than 91's. Fulda has also been in business for many, many years so they must be doing something right. The way I figure it if I have paid less than £100 each fitted and get a couple of seasons I'm happy. With the Pirellis currently at £150 each I don't fancy taking the risk again. It was also great to see a side wall protector which is rare at this price point.

Comparing the two brands I would say the Fulda Sport Control 2 are quieter, made of a softer rubber compound, and more comfortable. The Pirelli's I have no doubt last much longer (harder rubber compound) and perhaps have a slight edge in the wet even though the Fulda's are labelled to be better. The Pirelli's also have the edge in terms of road feedback, break away communication and tyre sidewall design. Pound for pound I am happy with my decision. The difference between the two is not great enough to warrant the extra expense and for mainly local commuting they will be just fine. Also, having spent less I can afford to get fresh tyres every couple of years which will always be better than older rubber. I can't comment on wear as they have not been fitted for long.

My tyre size was 245/40/17 95Y. My main driving is local runs of around 10-15 miles per day and I then typically use the car twice a year for european trips. I don't drive hard and fast but do like to feel the communication of the car especially on faster country roads and these tyres give that enjoyment.

I don`t recommend these tyres. I had them fitted on the car when I bought it. There is absolute lack of feedback from the tyres. You are near the limit and there is no communication. I found it very dangerous and tried it only once. I never experienced such a behavior, but I am used to premium and sporty tyres. Overall I don`t recommend them, but their might be fine for some slow city driving...

Excellent tires for an acceptable price. I mostly drove premium brands, but last month I bought Fulda Sportcontrol2 on sale and they are better than I expected. Extremely quiet, excellent on dry and wet, comfortable and give a nice feeling on the steering wheel. The car is a Peugeot 607 2.2hdi 170HP and the size is 225/50r17. The price was around 400e for 4 tires. My sincere recommendation

Wow. I'm impressed with these tyres. I replaced the existing Hankooks with the Fuldas and the improvements can be seen - and felt - on all levels. Dry grip is better than the Hankooks - as is wet grip - which inspires confidence in general driving whatever the conditions. The biggest differences though are in driving comfort and steering feedback with tyre noise much reduced too. It all results in a competent tyre that keeps it's composure when the need for spirited driving arises. The only area that is a slight negative is slightly increased tyre wear but that's a compromise I can live with. The Fulda Sport Contact 2 is not the cheapest on the market but then it's nowhere near the most expensive either. A full set of four tyres in my car's size cost the same a pair of Michelin's so in that respect the Fuldas represent very good value for money. I like these tyres and would absolutely buy them again.

These tyres perform over and above the previous Hankook tyres fitted to the car when I purchased it. Not the most expensive tyre on the market but certainly not the cheapest. Great value with assured grip in all conditions. I love this tyre.

Honestly bought these tires last year and I must say I am very impressed by the wet handling. Here it rains very often and most of the time there are quite big puddles in the middle of the highway. Not once did I feel any uncertainty in the steering. Overall pretty impressed with the Tyre performance so far. Unfortunately have no overview of the wear yet, but hoping it’ll be above average

I drive different cars every day and am an automotive expert. These tires are very good. I have the opportunity to compare them in the same conditions with other similar ones and I say that the tires are great. They are much more stable after 50% wear compared to many other premium brands.

Great tyre for a midsize or upper class sedan or similar - great grip both in the dry and in the wet, copes well with aquaplaning and is very comfortable. Smooth ride and very quiet and nice handling at the same time. Great balance between grip and comfort. All 4 tyres balanced very well - under 15 grams on any of the wheels. Three drawbacks: 1) New tyre thread was under 7 mm deep - to my mind, very little for a normal road going tyre. 2) Wear. Partly this is due to mentioned above. Tyres lasted for about 35000 kms of normal use. 3) With thread deepness under 5 mm the look of the tyre is very generic - 4 grooves and nothing else. The tyre still performed well. At around 3 mm wet performance decreased significantly.

Really good feeling both in wet and dry conditions. Lasted 48000km

The Tyre feels comfortable at low inner city speeds. That is its only quality. Noise levels are on the high side at speeds above 60kph. Dry grip is average and becomes low as speeds increase. It is outright scary at speeds above 150 kph when even in slight corners the car feels unstable at speed and steering is vague. Even the relative comfort disappears at higher autobahn speeds. This behavior also applies to wet conditions. In comparison, to my previous tires this tyre has disappointed in every aspect. If your car is relatively powerful/heavy and you intend to use it for long stretches on the highway I would avoid it. Its comfort at low speed might be enticing for people who intend this tyre for motoring in cities only.

Bought 2nd hand for my ASA TEC GT4 wheels in 235/35/19. Fitted on my 2001 Volvo S80 2.4T with about 230BHP. They impressed me very much, and to be honest I didn't expect much from the tyre. But they are a good all round tyre and at the same being friendly for the wallet because 19 inch tyres don't come cheap (if you want some quality). I don't ask the maximum from tyres, but they are confidence inspiring (in the wet & dry). Im from the Netherlands, the summers are getting a bit hotter, but there is still a lot of rain throughout the year. I will be replacing them soon as they have about 2mm left, but I enjoyed them a lot.

I have replaced Michelin energy saver +, with Fulda SportControl 2. Fulda are much better tyres. For me they have a very precise balance of handling, grip and comfort.

I did a fair bit of research into choosing these tyres. They have performed really well on the road apart from wear. Had them approx 8-9000 miles on the fronts. Down to 3mm already. My daughter does drive it quite quickly, but had over 11000 miles from the Goodyears. I shall replace them toward the end of the year.
