Looking for a comparison of Vredestein ULTRAC to tyres that are made in similar dimensions? Here you can find detailed information based on tests, reviews and manufacturer's data.
The Vredestein ULTRAC, made in Hungary, holds its own in the summer tyre market. However, when compared to the Continental PremiumContact 7 there are noticeable differences, largely leaning in favour of the Continental tyre.
Regarding the Vredestein ULTRAC, testing data indicate the tyre's strengths fall in its aquaplaning performance, both longitudinally and cross. It showcases good dry handling, ranking 2nd and 3rd in ACE and Automotorsport tests respectively. Interestingly, manufacturer Vredestein has this model being the first equipment for BMW 2-series Active Tourer. However, weaknesses point to elevated rolling resistance and slightly lengthened braking distances.
On the other hand, the Continental PremiumContact 7, manufactured across Europe in France, Slovakia, Germany, and Czechia, excels in well-rounded wet braking, wet and dry handling, and dry braking, consistently taking 1st place in independent tests. Apart from being a touring subtype, it does not have any first equipment endorsements that Vredestein basks in. Feedback from Automotorsport 2024 reflects excellent grip on wet roads and reliable dry cornering capabilities, balanced by a comfortable roll. Weakness noted includes a mildly loud external noise and decreased fuel efficiency.
It’s also essential to note that the Continental PremiumContact 7 succeeds the Continental PremiumContact 6 and the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5. Despite this, there is no indication in the data of a newer version replacing the Continental PremiumContact 7. Similarly, Vredestein ULTRAC doesn't have a predecessor or a newer version replacing it.
Considering the overall performance in the mutual tests, the Continental PremiumContact 7 from Continental has an edge over the Vredestein ULTRAC. The Continental tyre scored an impressive 99% in our rating, securing the top spot across most of the test categories, including comfort, dry braking, wet braking, and handling. In contrast, the Vredestein ULTRAC stood at a low 26% in our rating.
In conclusion, while the Vredestein ULTRAC posts commendable results in aquaplaning and dry handling, the Continental PremiumContact 7 outperforms it in numerous tests, showcasing superior wet and dry handling and braking capabilities. Customers would benefit from considering their specific driving conditions and needs when choosing between these two.
