Great value tire. Feels really good, and better than the factory mounted Toyo R38.

Before these tires I wore barum bravurious, hankook xl, bringeston turanza. None of this was that good. The sportrac 5 effortlessly got me 50000mm safely. Very good in dry and wet. In the light snow he walks. It is economical and has a hard sole. I would go through it again. I did the kilometers in two years.

Very reliable tire in all sections with a very good performance and rim protection.Excellent feedback,not very soft/medium rubber for comfort.

The drive quality is perfect but the wear is a real trouble. 2mm down in 2000 km in a very careful driving style mostly on highway at no more than 100 km/h. 185/70 r14 tires, made in India.

Really do not understand these reviews. 100% true what is stated here: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tires/88489/vredestein-sportrac-5-tire-review Dry grip almost non-existent for 125 BHP Fiesta. You may not be able to move a car from standstill on a Dry asphalt using 1st gear up to almost 7000rpm. Moose manoeuvre very vague for 45 profile and 2.2 all round pressures. This is not (even little) sport tire. An initial impression (350 km), but I will probably change them soon.

Bought these to replace the stock GY Efficient Grip Performance RUNFLAT on my Active Tourer, which had 3-4 mm of thread and almost 70000km in the (4 yeras old). Grip was problematic in the old ones.

Have drive the Sportrac 5 for about 10000km since march 2019 when I fitted them. First impressions were off course positive: much grippier tire than the old and worn GY. But although they are very grippy in dry, but most noticeably in the wet, I would say they are a harsh and noisy tire. These are not runflat tires and with the same preassure front and back, I did not see much improvement with regard to comfort, maybe because they are the XL version with stronger sidewalls. Secondly: they are very loud in comparison with the old and worn GY.

my conclusion: grippy, sporty tire, especially in the wet...but harsh and noisy.

Only been on about 600 miles so far. Grip improving still, very impressive In all areas so far.
Quiet, and with good grip, these Sportracs are a revelation in the rain.

I’m told these tires get better as they bed in. I’m happy now, if they improve more I’ll be amazed.

My car is fairly torquey, and so
would spin it’s tires in the wet previously. These haven’t spam once as yet.

I drove the tires for 6 summer seasons. I drove them for more than 45000km. They were still not weared down, but they started to crack on the sides because of the rubber that started to harden because of the sun i guess. I would definetely buy them again.

On the open road, the tires are excellent, but not as good on the city asphalt. They wander well on the wet. For each recommendation.

Tires used on a taxi / minicab
Good wear, although the edges have worn first with heavy braking on roundabouts. But 20k miles on the front and 45k on the rear, in this use is very good.
Wet grip is decent and progressive loss of traction long before they give up. But you can get caught out on quick direction changes.
Dry grip is very good, in high temps they work very well. Cold temps not as well.
A decent amount of scrubbing in is required, probably 1000 miles or so.
Noise levels I have not noticed any difference from the hankooks they replaced.
Just about to order a set of 4 replacements
