In this comparison, we will look at two high-performing summer tyres - the Bridgestone Turanza 6 manufactured by Bridgestone and the Fulda SportControl 2 from Fulda. According to our ratings, the Bridgestone tyre has received a higher score (83%) compared to the Fulda model (74%).
Looking at the ADAC test results, Bridgestone Turanza 6 managed to secure the 6th position out of 16 tyres tested. Its strength lies in its longitudinal aquaplaning and interior noise characteristics. The Fulda SportControl 2 secured 7th position, indicating a close competition between these two.
On the other hand, in the Autobild test, the Turanza 6 placed 16th out of 50 tyres, recognised for its superior comfort and rolling resistance. The SportControl 2 took the 18th spot, showcasing good handling properties on wet surfaces and offered at a comparatively lower price.
From ADAC 2024, the Turanza 6 was praised for its good aquaplaning properties, predicted running performance, minimal wear, very light weight and low fuel consumption. Slight weaknesses were identified in its characteristics on dry and wet road surfaces.
The SportControl 2 was applauded for its safe driving properties on dry roads, light tyre weight and low fuel consumption. However, it displayed minor weaknesses when it comes to dry road comfort and wet road performance while its predicted mileage was satisfactory.
From Autobild 2023, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 was lauded for its high performance level, fuel-saving rolling resistance but had average economic efficiency. The Fulda SportControl 2 on the other hand was recognised for its balanced and secure handling characteristics on wet surfaces, despite its long braking distance on wet roads and slightly delayed steering response.
Verdict: Both Bridgestone Turanza 6 and Fulda SportControl 2 are competent summer tyres. The Turanza 6 might be the preferred choice for those prioritising interior noise comfort and aquaplaning properties while the SportControl 2 might be a cost-effective alternative offering secure driving properties on dry roads. However, always keep in mind your driving style and the road conditions you usually encounter.
