Switched my Peugeot 308 from Bridgestone Potenza Sport to these Ultracs. First thing I noticed? Less noise, better comfort, and easier steering. The Ultrac outperforms my old tires in lateral grip and wet road holding. The downside? Rapid wear. After just 4000 miles, they’re nearly worn out. But despite this, their overall performance is excellent. Definitly a reliable choice!

Got these on my Ford C-Max, replacing the older Ultrac Satin model. The new Ultrac is a huge improvement. The reinforced walls don’t look flat anymore. They grip really well in both wet and dry conditions. The steering feels lighter, and the ride is smoother. There’s a slight hollow sound when cold, but it’s no big deal. Overall, these tires have seriously improved my driving experience.

I've been driving a Kia Ceed 1st gen and recently switched to Vredestein Ultrac from the Sportrac 5. Let me tell you, these tires are a game-changer. Covered about 500 km and the comfort is top-notch. Despite my car's hard suspension, the 205/55 R16 size feels softer than my old winter tires (195/65 R15 Alpin 6). The grip, especially in wet conditions, is impressive. Road feedback is spot-on, making spirited drives safer. These are way quieter and more comfortable compared to my old tires. Although it's early to talk about wear, I’m thrilled with my choice so far. Bought them from a local store, and they've significantly boosted my driving experience on Greek roads. The reinforced sidewalls provide a stable ride, and the lighter, more manageable steering is a huge plus.
What is bad?
It's too early to identify any significant drawbacks. So far, initial impressions are overwhelmingly positive.
