In this text, we will compare two tyres that have made a mark in the industry - the Vredestein Sportrac 5 and the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5. Manufactured by Vredestein and Continental respectively, we will analyze test results, highlight key features and finally provide a verdict on which tyre triumphs.
The Vredestein Sportrac 5 fast became a popular tyre for its exceptional wet circle cornering marked as its best feature in the ADAC tests. It managed to secure the 1st position out of 16 tyres in that test. However, in tests conducted by Autobild, it dropped to 11th position out of 50 tyres, yet, it stood up at a commendable 6th position with dry driving behaviour as its highlighted feature in the ACE tests. This tyre is recognized for its remarkable performance under wet conditions, primarily due to its grip and response while cornering.
In contrast, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 manufactured in the Czech Republic, is known for a number of excellent features such as longitudal aquaplaning, lower interior noise, impressive wet braking and wet circle cornering. These features helped it secure the 2nd position in the ADAC tests, just behind the Vredestein Sportrac 5. Performing better in Autobild's evaluation, it landed on the 9th position out of 50 tyres. Stellar performance was demonstrated in ACE tests where it secured 1st place, highlighting its proficiency in longitudal aquaplanning, dry braking and driving behaviour, and wet conditions handling. This tyre, however, has been replaced by the Continental PremiumContact 6.
To conclude, both tyres have their individual strengths. The Vredestein Sportrac 5 shines with its wet circle cornering, whereas the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 is versatile offering a range of excellent features, particularly in wet conditions. Nevertheless, in the overall evaluation, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 does appear to have a slight edge over the Vredestein Sportrac 5 due to its superior performance across different tests. However, the final choice must primarily consider the type of driving conditions and personal preference of noise levels.
Please note that the ratings given to the tyres are based on test results and they do not necessarily reflect our personal view.
