In comparing the two summer tyres, the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti and the Michelin Pilot Sport 4, we find distinct differences that can assist drivers in making a choice suited to their personal preferences and specific driving conditions.


The Vredestein Ultrac Vorti, made in the Netherlands, pleased consumers with an overall rating of 55%. This tyre demonstrated exceptional performance in cross aquaplaning, wet braking and handling, and wet side guide, aspects highly rated in the Autobild test. It also offers benefits in terms of mileage and exterior noise, according to ADAC's evaluation. Its strength lies particularly in its dry handling, as the Automotorsport test reveals. A notable weakness of this model, however, is its lower ranking in mutual tests. This tyre does not have any previous models or newer replacements, with its details available here.
Manufactured in Spain and Germany, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 however surpasses the Vredestein model with an impressive rating of 88%. Its superiorities specifically include longitudinal and cross aquaplaning, dry and wet braking, and wet handling per the Autobild test. The Michelin tyre also stands out for its dry braking and mileage - as seen in the ADAC test - and extensive features related to wet conditions, according to the Automotorsport test. Its previously released model was the Michelin Pilot Sport 3, but it has since been replaced by the newer Michelin Pilot Sport 5. For more information, click here.

This tyre, produced by Michelin, caters better to diverse driving conditions, especially wet surfaces. While the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti is clearly a robust model, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 holds the crown among these two summer tyres.
