Both the Vredestein Ultrac Pro and Firestone Firehawk Sport tyres are summer tyres geared toward performance. However, their rankings and performance in mutual tests differ considerably. Both have no previous models and none of them was replaced by a newer tyre model.
The Vredestein Ultrac Pro, made in Holland, earned a 71% rating from our experts. Test data reveals its strengths in terms of aquaplaning- longitudinal and comfort. The tyre came in 18th out of 52 tyres tested by Autobild and 5th out of 18 in tests by ADAC. With satisfactory predicted mileage and a higher weight as its downsides, the Vredestein Ultrac Pro still offers good properties on both wet and dry roads, with less wear and low fuel consumption.
On the other hand, the Firestone Firehawk Sport, manufactured in Italy, scored a slightly higher rating of 76% from our experts. Also a summer tyre, it shines in rolling resistance, occupying the 15th and 7th position in tests by Autobild and ADAC respectively. While the tyre is a good performer on both dry and wet surfaces, its weaknesses include slightly poor aquaplaning behavior, lower projected mileage, and higher wear compared to Vredestein Ultrac. Despite these, the Firestone Firehawk Sport is still offering lighter weight and low fuel consumption.
