Comparison: Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 vs. Vredestein ULTRAC vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2

The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 and Vredestein ULTRAC are two summer tyres that come with distinctive properties and performance parameters. This comparative review aims to help you understand which tyre dominantly outperforms the other in multiple test scenarios.


The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 is a premium-level model notable for its stable driving characteristics on both wet and dry surfaces. According to Autobild 2024, the strengths of this tyre lie in its direct steering response with good feedback, safety reserves in aquaplaning, and exceptional comfort. However, its downsides are its higher price level compared to other tyres in its class and slightly prolonged dry braking distances. For further reference on the newer model, you may want to check out the Pirelli Cinturato (C3).


On the other hand, the Vredestein ULTRAC tyre particularly excels in aquaplaning properties, as reported by TyreReviews.com 2023 and Autoklub ČR. While it boasts reliable driving qualities and pleasant ride comfort, its weaknesses are its slightly understeering tendency on both wet and dry surfaces, higher rolling resistance, and slightly longer braking distances. Contrary to the Cinturato P7 C2, this tyre is made in Hungary and is employed as the first equipment on the BMW 2-series Active Tourer.


When it comes to their standings on various tests, the Pirelli tyre generally ranks higher than the Vredestein tyre. In Autobild, Aftonbladet, and Autozeitung, the Cinturato P7 C2 secures a position within the top three, while the ULTRAC tyre occupies only about the middle positions. However, both these tyres demonstrate excellent control over wet handling, making them a great choice for wet conditions as noted by Tyre Reviews.


In conclusion, while the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 boasts an impressive overall performance, it comes with a higher price. On the contrary, the Vredestein ULTRAC is more budget-friendly but does not compromise on ride comfort and safety. Make sure to keep in mind your specific requirements while choosing the right tyre for your vehicle.
