Comparison: Vredestein ULTRAC vs. Vredestein ULTRAC (2026)
Also compare with
Strong in the wet and refined on the road, the Vredestein ULTRAC trades mileage and rolling resistance for impressive safety credentials.
If you've landed on this page expecting a head-to-head between two different models, there's something worth clarifying upfront: both entries here refer to the same Vredestein ULTRAC — the Dutch brand's entry-level summer passenger tyre, sitting at the base of a lineup that also includes the Ultrac+ and the flagship Ultrac Pro. The ULTRAC is manufactured in Hungary, carries an OE fitment on the BMW 2-series Active Tourer, and is available in 66 sizes spanning 15 to 21-inch wheels. Rather than a comparison between two distinct products, what follows is a clear-eyed profile of what the Vredestein ULTRAC actually does well — and where its limits lie — so you can decide whether it's the right tyre for your car and driving style.

ULTRAC
The Vredestein ULTRAC is a genuinely capable tyre for the right application — impressive in the wet, refined in the cabin, and competitive on braking distances. Its weaknesses are equally clear: high wear, elevated rolling resistance, and a dry handling character that lacks sharpness, particularly in sporty or lower-profile sizes. If you drive a compact or family car, cover moderate distances, and want a premium-brand summer tyre with excellent wet-safety credentials at a sensible price, the ULTRAC earns its place. If you drive hard, prioritise longevity, or own a sports-oriented car, step up to the Ultrac+ or Ultrac Pro within the Vredestein lineup for a more complete package.
