Performance Analysis

Across 11 tests, the Fulda MultiControl shows a clear pattern of underperformance in core safety metrics, especially dry and wet braking, with frequent bottom-tier finishes in large Autobild braking shootouts. While there are a few isolated strong overall placements in earlier, smaller tests (2016: 4/10; 2019 ACE/GTÜ: 2/8; 2018 Gute Fahrt: 3/12), detailed category data consistently reveals long stopping distances and weak aquaplaning performance, indicating limited competitiveness versus modern all-season rivals.
Overall, the tyre's strengths appear context-dependent and not sustained in recent, larger fields, whereas braking deficits are recurrent and sizeable (often 15-40% longer than best). This positions the MultiControl as an aging design that struggles in contemporary braking-focused comparisons.
