A genuine wet-weather performer, but poor mileage and inconsistent dry dynamics limit its appeal.
Something unusual has happened with this comparison request: both entries point to the same tyre — the Vredestein ULTRAC. Rather than manufacture a false head-to-head, this guide focuses on what the ULTRAC actually is, where it sits in Vredestein's passenger car summer lineup, and who it is — and isn't — the right choice for. The Dutch-engineered, Hungary-produced ULTRAC sits at the base of Vredestein's current summer range, beneath the Ultrac+ and the Ultrac Pro, consolidating several earlier models including the Sportrac range and the ULTRAC Satin into a single touring-oriented option across 66 sizes from 15" to 21". It carries OE fitment on the BMW 2-series Active Tourer, which gives a useful indication of its intended character: a composed, safety-oriented daily tyre rather than a sporting performance flagship.

It is not the right choice for owners of performance or sport-focused vehicles, drivers who prioritise long tread life and fuel economy, or anyone who needs assured dry-road dynamic composure. Drivers considering it should also be aware that Vredestein's lineup now includes the Ultrac+ and the Ultrac Pro above it — both of which address the ULTRAC's weaknesses in overall test consistency. If the ULTRAC's aquaplaning strength is specifically what appeals, it represents a valid choice for its core use case; if you need a more balanced all-round performer, the step up within the Vredestein range is worth exploring.
