When comparing the Vredestein ULTRAC and the BFGoodrich Advantage, it's clear both tyres offer unique strengths. Manufactured by world-renowned companies (Vredestein and BFGoodrich respectively), they add a strong blend of features to a driver's summer tyre experience.
The Vredestein ULTRAC is top-notch when it comes to driving dynamics and braking. It's particularly impressive in wet conditions, showcasing excellent safety attributes in heavy rain. However, it falls short on mileage, which may not be ideal for those clocking lengthy distances regularly. The tyre also shows an elevated rolling resistance, which could affect fuel efficiency. It ranked 4th in the AutoBild tests out of 51 total participants and secured 2nd place in the Autozeitung test.
On the other side, the BFGoodrich Advantage impresses with its dry handling, low rolling resistance, and, most strikingly, its quiet ride. The tyre is quite affordable, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious drivers. However, its wet performance lacks finesse, with tendencies to understeer in rainy conditions. This tyre secured the 20th spot in the same AutoBild test and came 9th in the Autozeitung evaluation. Comfort was highlighted as its best feature in the collective tests, which is an essential factor for many drivers.
In terms of test outcomes, Vredestein ULTRAC outperformed BFGoodrich Advantage in most mutual tests. It held higher rankings, indicating superior overall performance; however, the BFGoodrich Advantage held its own by providing an impressively comfortable ride and balancing out an array of features at a competitive price.
To conclude, if you prioritize dynamic driving and wet condition safety, Vredestein ULTRAC is your go-to choice. But if you want a quiet, comfortable ride with pocket-friendly pricing, the BFGoodrich Advantage would be the apt pick.
Both these tyres showcase a different variety of strengths and weaknesses, allowing drivers to select one that aligns with their driving style, priorities, and budget. Always remember to consider these factors alongside test results when you're choosing your next summer tyre.
