A great all round tire with a fantastic, eye catching tread pattern. Been very impressed with their wet weather performance on motorways, instilling confidence even in the heaviest Swedish downpours.
Would certainly buy these again, HOWEVER there is a catch! Vredestein (in their wisdom) have STOPPED MANUFACTURING THE ULTRAC MODEL! I found this out last week when I got a side wall puncture (unrepairable) and have been trying every avenue to get a new one.
If anyone from Vredestein reads this, please go back into production with the ULTRAC, they are much better than your Sessanta model!!

Surprisingly excellent tires bought to replace the Potenza R040's that car came with. They lasted ages and were very excellent for normal road driving from April to November, borderline useless on ice and almost reasonable on snow. I used these on a few track days too and they offered good drip on dry days and lots of opportunities to practice powersliding on wet days. The only gripe I have with these tires is that once they get hot they become a little bit like soap bars and that's not on track! If I had a sensible car I would buy them again, but for the time being it's time to move on to the UHP sector. :-)

Excellent tire. I noticed the difference straight away once they were fitted. I found them better than my old f1's. I was suprised how comfortable they were too. Wet grip is amazing. Couldnt be happier with them. Would highly recommend.

despite being described as tires for performance cars, these are suited to granny's fiesta and nothing else. they have no form of sidewall and the stability is appauling, and the lack of feel unbelieveable.
i had bridgestone potenzas before these which although fast wearing did give a good drive. These are the worst tires i have ever purchased by a long way, avoid them at all costs!

Excellent dry grip and pretty good wet grip considering it is a summer tire. Handling in the wet and dry is very consistent with lots of feedback through the steering.
I was expecting poor wear from these but they were excellent- far better than the michelin and toyo tires previously fitted. I would definitely buy these again.

Thought i'd review these again now ive done about 500 miles on them. Need a bit more driving time still on these tires for 100% review.But so far so good im really starting to like these tires the steering feel is great, and dry grip is as good if not better then the falkens 452's. Need abit more time with these in the rain but had a light shower and they grip well.

Just had two of these fitted on the front after hearing good things about them. First impressions are good! alot smoother then the falkens 452's and soak up the bumps in the road well, road noise is much improved too. Grip seems to be good but to early to give any opinion need to bed them in first, will report back when i've done some more miles on them.
