Today, let's look at a comparison of two summer tyres, the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun and Fulda SportControl 2. Both tyres are among the popular choices in the market and are highly rated by users and reviewers alike.
The Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun, a touring tyre manufactured in Turkey, has earned an impressive rating of 81% from us. It excels in important characteristics such as aquaplaning - longitudinal, comfort, and wet braking, especially doing brilliantly in Autobild tests, securing the 5th position out of 51 tyres. As per autobild 2022, the ZE310 Ecorun received praise for very good aquaplaning characteristics, stable wet handling, short braking distances, and dynamic dry handling. However, it was criticised for increased rolling resistance.
On the other hand, the Fulda SportControl 2 does not fall too far behind with a rating of 84% from us. In ADAC and Autobild tests, this tyre got the 7th and 13th position respectively. The tyre was applauded for its good aquaplaning reserves, short braking distances on wet and dry roads and good price-performance ratio in autobild 2022 but was noted for a noticeably delayed steering response and moderate mileage.
The Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun, produced by Falken, has overall better performance in tests and is best for those looking for good value for money. On the contrary, the Fulda SportControl 2, made by Fulda, is a solid choice for users seeking secure dry road driving properties and low fuel consumption.
In conclusion, while both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses, the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun stands out in terms of its overall performance, making it a more preferred choice. However, the Fulda SportControl 2 provides stiff competition with its secure driving properties and energy efficiency, making the ultimate tyre choice dependent on individual needs and driving preferences.
