Had some fondness for them previously, and I still do.

I got a puncture on one the week after I bought it, and the other one is swelling and looks like it doesn't fit properly even though it said it would on the site.

5/5

Vredestein Ultrac

Achieving around 60mpg on motorways, it has performed well regardless of the weather. After 28K miles, it still has 6mm tread left.

5/5

Vredestein Ultrac

I do miss the grip I had with my Bridgestones, but I would say these tyres are acceptable on wet roads.

4/5

Vredestein Ultrac

Grabbed a 2003 Civic Type S with loads of miles and fitted four new Vredestein tyres. Took it for a spin at Snetterton which started off wet but dried later. We were keeping up with the Caterhams in the rain. Drove over to Germany and Italy in June, hit 130mph on the autobahn, grip was fantastic. Amazingly, they're a much cheaper option than Michelins and still give you plenty of confidence.

5/5

Vredestein Ultrac

They are content and for good reason. Does what it says it will do. Reasonable price for the value so would buy again. They are quiet and inexpensive.
