Fulda EcoControl HP: Optimal Performance and Efficiency for Your Ride
Enhanced Safety with Shorter Braking Distances
Experience peace of mind with the Fulda EcoControl HP, designed to deliver superior braking performance on dry roads. Its unique elliptical tire contour, combined with decoupled shoulder blocks, increases the contact patch for improved surface grip. This innovative design reduces braking distances by up to one meter compared to other brands, ensuring you stop safely and swiftly.
Fuel Efficiency and Environmental Responsibility
The EcoControl HP is engineered to lower your fuel expenses and carbon footprint. Thanks to its lightweight construction and EcoTread design, this tire requires less rolling energy. Independent tests have shown a 5.5% reduction in rolling resistance compared to competitors, making it an eco-friendly choice that doesn't compromise on performance.
Extended Tire Life for More Miles
Benefit from a longer-lasting tire with the EcoControl HP's advanced rubber compound infused with Nano-Polymers and an optimized tread pattern. The balanced distribution of tread blocks and grooves ensures even pressure across the contact area, promoting higher mileage and a durable performance over time.
High Performance Meets Summer Excellence
The Fulda EcoControl HP is a state-of-the-art high-performance summer tire, featuring an asymmetric EcoTread pattern that significantly reduces rolling resistance. Its proven wide AquaFlow grooves and full silica tread compound enhance wet braking capabilities, providing reliable traction in various summer conditions. With its elliptical contour and decoupled shoulder blocks, this tire ensures shorter braking distances on dry surfaces. The use of Nano-Polymers and a balanced tread design further contribute to its impressive longevity, making the EcoControl HP a smart investment for any passenger car.

Balanced performance
Shorter dry braking. Enjoy confident control when it matters most. The EcoControl HP increases road contact under braking force, for dry braking that’s 3 meters shorter than competitors’ tyres*. The EcoControl HP gives you high performance handling and high mileage – without the high price tag. This fuel-efficient tire delivers superb braking ability on wet and dry roads.
Shorter wet braking. Braking distances in the wet are up to 2.9 metres shorter*, thanks to a full silica compound and biting edges that cut through the water layer beneath the contact patch. AquaFlow grooves quickly disperse water in heavy rain conditions.
High mileage. Benefit from long lasting performance. Hardwearing compounds and a harmonised poly-rib distribution ensure slow and even wear, giving you more mileage for your money.
Drive with peace of mind. The EcoControl HP is the ideal all-rounder for high performance vehicles. It delivers better overall results in wet handling, braking and fuel efficiency when compared to the average performance of competitor tyres tested.*
Lower fuel consumption. Lower your fuel costs and CO2 emissions. With its high performance construction and EcoTread design, the EcoControl HP needs less energy to roll. In independent tests, the EcoControl HP delivered 9% lower rolling resistance than competitors’ tyres.*
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
