satisfactory
Ranked #14 of 21
Securing a commendable 4th position among 21 competitors, the Vredestein Ultrac demonstrated impressive performance in a recent evaluation. It was particularly noted for its convincing safety margins in aquaplaning scenarios, showcasing a sporty and dynamic driving behavior along with short braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces. However, the tyre was marked down for its considerably limited mileage longevity. An exceptional aspect of the tyre's performance was its outstanding capability in wet braking, where it truly excelled compared to its peers. This balance of proficient handling in critical conditions and a notable drawback in wear resistance creates a mixed yet largely favorable view of the Vredestein Ultrac's overall capabilities.
