In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Finland (Nokian) against a tyre from a manufacturer from Holland (Vredestein). Generally, Nokian summer tyres are slightly better rated (66%) than Vredestein (55%). The first tyre test of Nokian Powerproof 1 was done in 2025, compared to 2024 when was the Vredestein Ultrac Pro first tested. Important for this comparison is also the Autobild 2025 225/40 R18 test, where both the Powerproof 1 and the Ultrac Pro were tested. If you wonder where the tyres in question are made, the Powerproof 1 is made in Finland and Ultrac Pro is made in Netherlands.
