In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Holland (
Vredestein) against a tyre from a manufacturer from USA (
Firestone). Generally,
Firestone summer tyres are slightly better rated (70%) than
Vredestein (34%). In this particular case, the Firestone Roadhawk 2 has a better rating of 80% compared to 50% of the Vredestein Ultrac+. The first tyre test of Vredestein Ultrac+ was done in 2026, compared to 2024 when was the Firestone Roadhawk 2 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
ADAC 2026 225/50 R17 test, where both the
Ultrac+ and the
Roadhawk 2 were tested.
