Fulda EcoControl HP2
The Fulda EcoControl HP2 is a summer touring tyre with consistently good wear results and some favourable cost-per-kilometre figures. Wet grip and braking are less convincing, while aquaplaning resistance varies markedly between disciplines and tests.
Independent tests give the Fulda EcoControl HP2 a clearer advantage in projected tread life than outright grip. ADAC found the lowest wear in 2022, and Auto Bild placed mileage second of 20 in 2024 at 40,300 km, with the lowest cost per 1,000 km. Dry braking drew favourable comments in 2023 and 2024, but dry handling and steering response were less convincing. Wet-road weaknesses recur, including last-place wet braking in Auto Bild's 2021 full test and 18th of 21 in 2024.
Aquaplaning is more complicated. Curved results were third in 2023 and 2024, while straight-line performance varied unusually from 20th of 21 in 2024 to first of eight at Moottori in 2025. The latter also conflicts unusually with its critical aquaplaning wording. That mid-range comparison gave it fourth overall and a better wet-braking result, but it does not erase the earlier concerns. Noise and efficiency also vary, so neither is an unqualified advantage. For touring use, the strongest case is wear and running cost, with wet-road confidence the main compromise.

2025 Moottori Summer Tyre Test P4 of 8
With a score of 8.7, the Fulda Eco Control 2 delivers solid overall performance with an emphasis on fuel efficiency. Its wet braking distances are good, though not quite matching the best tyres in the test. The tyre handles well in most conditions but shows some limitations in aquaplaning resistance compared to top performers. Fulda, with its Goodyear heritage, offers a balanced tyre that's particularly strong in reducing rolling resistance for better fuel economy.

Very dangerous tire on wet roads. Only buy these if you live in a very dry climate. I've done 45000kms on them and can probably do another 30000kms. They hardly wear out. I am waiting for them toe wear out so I can buy a tire that performs better on wet roads.

I had these tyres on my Golf IV 2002 tdi for almost 3 summers then i sold my car with almost perfect tyres.Wear them about 20000km,and they were almost new,but i am not a hard driver,just average.Very quiet tyre,comfortable,fuel consumption very low.Consumption with them were about 4.2-4.7L per 100km,even once i've managed 3.8 on a 50km short trip.Generaly perfect tyre for average driver.For sports car, i don't now...
