The efficiency class label evaluated based on customer preferences.
Delticom centralized survey results from more than 40.000 customers from 15 European countries and created this index.
The Fulda SportControl delivers exceptional control on dry and wet roads, while also lowering fuel consumption. The SportControl is designed for controlled sporty driving. Benefit from confident handling and shorter braking in wet conditions. You’ll also enjoy lower fuel costs and CO2 emissions.
Controlled sporty driving
Superb control in the wet
Lower fuel consumption
Drive with peace of mind
Controlled sport driving. Get the most from your high performance car. The tire tread features progressive humps that distribute pressure evenly across the contact patch. The result is better handling at motorway speeds, with precise cornering control.
Superb control in the wet. Drive with confidence in rainy conditions. A full silica tread compound works with Aqua Flow grooves to deliver shorter braking distances on wet roads – up to 3 meters shorter than competitors’ tyres.*
Lower fuel consumption. Lightweight construction makes the tyre easier to roll, resulting in lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. In independent tests, the SportControl offered 14% lower rolling resistance than the competition.*That adds up to significant cost savings over the tyre’s lifetime.
Drive with peace of mind. The tread pattern is optimised so that wear occurs evenly across the tyre surface. This ensures a smoother, quieter ride and longer tyre life.
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.

17.09.2015fromPaul 53 reg Avensis. Great confidence in roadholding around corners in all conditions. Tyres are quiet, good on fuel and wear. Will be buying some more for the rears.
14.01.2015fromJason Cant fault these tyres good grip in all conditions. I used in snow the other day and was surprised how much better they were compared to the budget tyres I owned before.I will be buying them again.
02.12.2014fromWilliam Morris Initial wear was obvious but has now settled right down. very good tyre for the money.
09.11.2014fromSwain Purchased based on quality claims and sound levels. Very happy with overall driving feel and reduced noise levels. Too early to comment on tyre wear. No noticeable fuel consumption change. Very good value for money for a high spec tyre.
