Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tires; a tick marks the tire ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 5 tests, 2025 to 2026
Each row is one published test in which both tires ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 118 ft stop against 112 ft is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 94%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 6 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Drivers largely praise the Vredestein Ultrac Pro for strong dry and wet grip, confident handling, and notably good ride comfort, with several noting premium feel and value. High-scoring reviews highlight short braking distances, stability, and decent wear for aggressive or heavy vehicles. A minority report concerns include poor performance in very cold (sub-5°C) conditions and one case of premature wear/delamination. Overall, the Ultrac Pro delivers balanced performance with comfort-focused tuning and attractive design.

All 7 Ultrac Pro reviewsI've had them for two summers and about 10k kms on a Ford Focus ST250. When I was buying them I was looking for good tires at a fair price and these were the newest model available at the time.
Dry: In the dry they have good traction, predictable handlings and good comfort for a UHP tire. Breakaway is communicated well and they don't surprise you out of nowhere. Lift of oversteer is easily achieved and controlled. They do wheelspin a bit in first gear if you are a bit more enthusiastic with the throttle but that's expected on a more powerful fwd car.
Wet: They have good and predictable grip in the wet, good aquaplaning resistance and stop quite well.
Others: Rim guard is somewhere in the middle, not as big as Bridgestone but better than Hankook. Sidewall design is good, comfort and noise are good for a uhp tire. Wear has also been good for me, I expect to change them due to age and not wear but then again I don't do that many miles a year.
It's a tire I like and would recommend. Price to performance is good. Would consider buying. I got their Wintrac Pro Plus to try this winter so I've been satisfied with Vredesteins as a whole.
Yokohama Advan Sport V107

Owners most consistently praise the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 for strong dry performance, with around three in five highlighting excellent dry grip and many also noting sharp steering and confident dry handling. Wet grip is generally rated as decent, though opinions are more mixed, with a small but notable group (around one in seven) finding it weaker, particularly in colder conditions. The biggest drawback is longevity: around two in five owners complain of very fast wear. Noise is another frequent issue, with around one in three reporting higher road roar, especially on rougher surfaces.
- Outstanding dry grip and confidence under power
- Very capable dry handling with strong feedback
- Direct, responsive steering feel
- Stiff, sporty sidewalls that support hard driving
- Very short tread life and rapid wear
- Noticeable road noise/roar, especially on coarse surfaces
- Needs heat or a bedding-in period to feel at its best

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
A clean split, and a rare one. Across five shared tests the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 braked shorter in the dry every single time, and the Vredestein Ultrac Pro braked shorter in the wet every single time. Neither tire lost a single comparison in its own discipline.
The wet advantage is the larger one. The Vredestein stopped in 45m against 47.9m in Auto Bild's 2026 test and 28.8m against 30.6m in the 52 tire braking shootout, both around 6 percent, while the Yokohama's dry wins ran from 0.3 percent to 4.9 percent.
Away from braking the Vredestein keeps adding. It was quieter in all three tests that measured noise, rolled with 24.3 percent less resistance in the 2026 test, 7.65 against 10.1 kg/t, and Auto Bild's judges scored it 5 points against 3.9 for comfort in 2025. That is why it finished ahead in four of the five tests.
Conclusion
The Vredestein Ultrac Pro is the better road tire here. Its clean sweep of the wet braking tests is the headline, 45m against 47.9m and 28.8m against 30.6m in Auto Bild's two 2026 outings, and it added the wet circle twice and the subjective wet handling score, 8 points against 7.3. It also rolls far easier, by 24.3 percent in 2026 and 13.5 percent in 2025, and at ADAC it wore better and cost less, 40,100km against 34,300km and 2.89 against 3.30 per 1000km. It finished ahead in four of the five shared tests, including 5th of 18 at ADAC.
The Yokohama Advan Sport V107's case is the dry road. It stopped shorter in every dry braking comparison, by 4.9 percent at ADAC and 3.4 percent in Auto Bild's 2025 performance test, and Auto Bild singled it out for strong dry handling and the highest straight aquaplaning resistance in the 2026 field. In that test it also projected longer life, 45,630km against 42,100km, and it was the cheaper tire per 1000km, 14.03 against 15.20.
The wear and cost picture is the one to be careful with: Auto Bild had the Yokohama lasting longer in both of its tests, while ADAC had the Vredestein lasting 16.9 percent longer than it. That is a real disagreement rather than a rounding difference, so treat mileage claims for either as uncertain. Otherwise the choice is simple: dry braking and dry handling point to the Yokohama, wet safety, quietness and efficiency to the Vredestein.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
