Fulda launches new HP tyre
Fulda has launched its latest high performance (HP) summer tyre, the EcoControl HP.
Extensively tested by the independent testing and certification organization TÜV SÜD Automotive. and found to be a ‘well balanced performance tyre’ by the organisation, the new tyre will meet Fulda’s high quality requirements head-on, with independent track results showing solid dry and wet braking outcomes and excellent rolling resistance.
As we awake from our winter slumber, the need to change back to summer tyres becomes a reality again. However, with two very wet summers behind us, awkward weather conditions in many European countries have proven to be a challenge for drivers on the road. To meet these new realities, Fulda is launching a new summer tyre designed to meet both dry and wet conditions in its stride, delivering a quality tyre for an often uncertain season.
Fulda’s EcoControl HP does exactly what it is named for: provide cost-conscious drivers with solid control on the road. Built on an elliptic cavity with decoupled shoulder ribs, the new tyre offers increased road contact when braking on dry surfaces, delivering up to 5% shorter braking distance on dry roads. On wet surfaces, EcoControl HP’s full silica tread compound provides solid traction while multiple AquaFlow grooves ensure water is absorbed and dispersed in an efficient manner. The tyre’s extended biting edges cut the water layer in the contact patch, improving the tyre’s overall grip on the road surface with a 9% shorter braking distance in the wet.
