Ultrac Vorti R

Hate Ultrac Vorti R plus on our Leon Cupra R. Now on our Mustang and 124 Spider. For me the best price performance you can buy!

Using it on a 300+ hp Octavia 3 1.8 tsi remapped with a bigger turbo etc etc .
For the price I paid this is what I will get I understand that .
Good tyre nothing wrong with it .
But if ur doing anything above 240 plus horses go the Michelin PS4 way .
Gets a lil scary in the wet .

Great performing tyre.
Losing grip towards end of life and spinning up more now on take off as they have hit 2.5mm but overall great tyre
Easy seen 11000 miles of mixed driving with some hard miles in there
Replacing with another set which says it all really. Rears still have approx 4.5mm on them and fronts about 2.5mm.
Continental sport contact 6 lasted about 8000 miles

I bought a Vectra B GSi 2.5 V6 (Facelift) with these already fitted in about 2005, I had not previously heard of them but now I won't fit any other tyre brand to my cars. I have recommended them to anyone I know that asks me (I'm a mechanic) and as I look after all the vehicles in my family, I obviously only fit these as they are ready for changing.
The handling at the limit score I gave is at MY limit, I always remove my tyres at 3mm in winter (all 4) and 2.5mm in summer, I never run tyres to the markers as this is the MINIMUM for safety and I my own vehicles are always high powered.
I have never once felt like I was in trouble with these tyres fitted and as for handling, my own opinion is why risk a change when these have performed at an outstanding level. This may just be how I am personally, but I check my tyre pressures sometimes 4 times in a week depending on how many miles I have been doing, I check them after EVERY long motorway journey (say over 100 miles or more) and keep them supple with conditioners after washing (the outlay is a no brainer to keep the outer walls from drying out in direct sun if nothing else)
I have had a Vectra VXR now for over 10 years, I changed the Conti's to 'VRed's' as soon as they were ready and apart from a friend offering me a set of two Conti Sport Contacts for a price I wasn't able to refuse, I have only had Vred's on. I do all kinds of mileage, motorway as well as city and just occasionally when there is no risk to any other road user I have a little 'play' and put her through her paces ... these tyres IMO are as crucial to the vehicle (and my peace of mind) as the suspension and steering ...
I get about a bit with mixed mileage, the last set changed - rear are still on at 4.5mm and 30,000 miles - front JUST changed, I removed the Reds after 23,500 miles at 3mm and put aforementioned Conti's on, I removed those at 15,500 miles with 3mm left ...
Overall opinion ... The most UNDERRATED tyre on the market ... These are Very High Performance tyres masquerading as a better than mid range tyre ... but Shhh .. or the price will go up !!

Having heard very good things about Vredestein tyres, I thought I'd give these a try. Being about £120 a corner delivered, they are far cheaper than the Michelin PS4S, which they are on a par with in a few dry performance tests.
After a few hundred miles on the front axle of my 285bhp Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV, I can safely say they grip like the car is on rails and the feedback is excellent. Wet grip is also very good. The tyres are fairly quiet and the sidewalls very stiff meaning feedback is good but comfort on motorways is not affected. They have much more feedback than the already decent Uniroyal RS3's I had on before thanks to being a bit stiffer. For about £120 for a 19" tyre, these are definitely worth the money, and I will probably get them for the back wheels as well when the time comes.
They also come with rim protection and are quite a good looking tyre with the carbon fibre look sidewalls.
