conditionally recommended
Ranked #20 of 20
The Vredestein ULTRAC finished the competition in 20th place out of 20 participants, receiving a final rating of "Conditionally recommended". Despite its position, the tyre was praised for its excellent driving dynamics, short braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces, and very good resistance to aquaplaning. Its superior performance was particularly noted in disciplines such as aquaplaning (both cross and longitudinal), dry handling, wet circle cornering, and wet handling. However, the tyre was also criticized for its low mileage and increased rolling resistance, factors that affected its overall ranking.
