Comparison: Vredestein Ultrac Vorti vs. Kumho Ecsta PS71

3 mutual test(s) with detailed data

In the world of summer tyres, the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti and the Kumho Ecsta PS71 are two models worth considering. Both have had their merits tested and proven in competitive tyre tests conducted by Autobild and ADAC.


A product of the Netherlands, the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti boasts an impressive 55% rating from our experts. It shines especially in terms of aquaplaning and wet condition performance, acing categories such as wet braking, wet handling, wet side guide and cross aquaplaning in the Autobild test where it ranked 9th among 53 tyres. In the ADAC test, it managed a respectable 7th place out of 16 tyres, with strengths identified in its mileage and exterior noise. Despite its remarkable features, this model has not been replaced by a newer version yet. Find more about this tyre on Vredestein's official website.


On the other hand, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 earned a robust 77% rating from us. Unspecified as to its country of origin, this tyre similarly excels in aquaplaning, particularly in cross and longitudinal situations as per the ADAC test where it took the 10th spot out of 16 tyres. It stood 18th in the Autobild test, demonstrating a strong performance across various metrics. Much like the Vredestein model, the Ecsta PS71 remains unrivaled within its own range up to this date. Visit Kumho's product page for more details.


In conclusion, while both tyres have their unique strong suits, the reigning choice between the two will depend on individual user needs and conditions. The Vredestein Ultrac Vorti may be more fitting for those prioritizing performance in wet conditions and mileage, while the Kumho Ecsta PS71 seems to lead in terms of aquaplaning resistance. It's important to note, however, that the Ecsta PS71 fares better overall in our comprehensive rating.
