Best Review for the Vredestein Ultrac Pro
Given 83% 225/45 R18 on mostly motorways for 3,000 spirited miles
Firstly, the Ultrac Pro is a sexy tire. The sidewall is designed by italodesign, and it really looks good. Dry grip (intermediate temps ~10-20°C) is very good. The car feels to have endless grip and you really feel comfortable pushing some twisty roads. Obviously, the warmer it got, the stickier the tire was. The Ultrac Pro seems to like temperature.
Wet grip is also very handsome. You really feel comfortable driving in heavy rain, and the grip is also very reassuring. Especially in the wet

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
