Comparison: Vredestein ULTRAC vs. Pirelli Cinturato P7 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Firestone Roadhawk 2

Comparing two prime contenders in the summer tyre space, we have the Vredestein ULTRAC and the Pirelli Cinturato P7, both designed to enhance performance and driving safety during the hot summer months.


Begun with the Vredestein ULTRAC tyre, which is rated highly at 21% by our experts. Manufactured in Hungary, this tyre came as first equipment for the famed BMW 2-series Active Tourer. It scored impressive rankings in multiple tests, such as second place in the ACE test and third place out of 55 tyres in the Autobild test. The tyre delivered outstanding performance in dry handling and aquaplaning resistance, both longitudal and cross. However, in the Autobild 2024 test it was noted for a "slightly increased rolling resistance" and "lower durability". Whether it's rain soaked roadways or dry tarmac, the Vredestein ULTRAC provides excellent vehicle handling. Setting a high benchmark, let's take a look at how Pirelli's offering measures up.


Moving to the Pirelli Cinturato P7, carrying a respectable rating of 75% by our experts. Constructed both in Italy and Romania, the P7 didn't disappoint, securing a commendable fourth place position in the ACE test and ninth place in the highly competitive Autobild test. Notable strengths include dry handling, both objective and subjective, however, the Autobild 2024 test cited a more "satisfactory performance in durability and economy" and a "higher price level". For those searching an energetic summer tyre, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 can be a solid choice.


So which tyre comes out on top? Both the Vredestein ULTRAC and the Pirelli Cinturato P7 exhibit significant strengths, but considering test results and overall rating, in this comparison, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 is the more esteemed contender. However, the Vredestein ULTRAC pushes in close behind, especially for those prioritizing value over minor performance increments.


In conclusion, whether you choose the Vredestein ULTRAC or the Pirelli Cinturato P7, both these tyres are built to deliver enhanced safety and performance throughout the summer season. Remember, the best tyre is one that matches your driving style and conditions. Happy motoring!
