Best note in fuel consumption
Spazio di frenata ridotto su fondo bagnato,Profilo piatto del battistrada e maggiore larghezza per una resa chilometrica più elevata, Mescola in silice di nuova generazione per una minore resistenza al rotolamento: Garantiscono un minor consumo di carburante
AutoBild ha effettuato una prova comparativa sui pneumatici 195/65 R15 per vedere se davvero mantengono tutto ciò che la pubblicità promette.
Dopo tutto, questi due obiettivi - bassa resistenza al rotolamento e di buon grip sul bagnato - sono qualità che stanno ai poli opposti nello sviluppo del pneumatico
L'elevata resa chilometrica fino ad ora è stata realizzata solo a scapito delle prestazioni sul bagnato. And so it proved in the recent trial – in which seven fuel-saving tyres and one standard tyre used as control, competed with one another – that many an alleged green tyre was a sham. One “wannabe fuel-saver” even increased consumption, rather than reducing it. For AutoBild it was a clear case of false labelling.
Others did prove their saving potential, but then turned out to be a safety risk with overlong braking distances in the wet.
The Fulda EcoControl however, thanks to its new silica compound, proved to be a model. In the discipline of average consumption, the tyre got a straight first.
Nevertheless it still shone with short braking distances on the wet test road. Result: after the German automobile clubs ADAC and ACE, which both rated it as “highly recommendable” and Stiftung Warentest declaring it simply “good”, the AutoBild editorial staff came to a similar result. With an overall result of 2+, the EcoControl has once again shown its qualities as an all-rounder that saves fuel without loss of safety.
