Technical information
Focus: Standard
The largest and best-selling category, and Vredestein ULTRAC+ belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

What owners say
<p>I xannot recommend these vrederstein tyres higly enough. On safety ,fuel economy and dry and wet weather handling and safety . If they have any weakness it would be on tred wear. But at 90 pounds a tyre i wil never drive on anything else.</p>
<p>I bought mine in April with a new 2026 DOT.
I wanted quality tyres, that can handle everyday driving, but also fantastic grip when needed for some sporty driving.
The wet grip is phenomenal and the tyres do not let go, even when it is pouring outside. The stopping distance is fantastic and so far, I am pleased with it.
Dry grip is great and I kind of expected it.</p><p>So far I have driven on mountain roads with lots of rain, during the heat waves, highway and ofcourse the city and I am as pleased, as I can be.
Highly recommend them.</p><p>Fantastic all-rounder.</p>
I looked for silent tyres, but they are far away from my expectations. They are much louder than my Hankook Winter i*cept iON X (IW01A). Acceptable noise at 90 km/h, but loud on Lithuanian highways at 130 km/h. Maybe it is just the car with weak insulation. The driving properties in contrast are fine, comfort is good. I drove on rainy highway at 130 km/h without problems.
Not a race driving, but steering was ultra sharp and precise, was quite surprised how car reacts to even tiniest maneuver. It's also very quiet. At this price here in Poland, I couldn't find anything better.
As a family car guy with a heavy PHEV (almost 2 tons), I was looking for tires that are genuinely good in the rain, quiet, comfortable on our crappy roads, and don't cost a fortune – since I only do about 5–8 000 km per year on my private car.
Most of the time I drive the company car on Continentals (which makes sense with 80k km/year), but for the private Optima I wanted something sensible.
After some research I went for Vredestein Ultrac+ XL 215/55 R17 98Y.
Short verdict: I'm very pleasantly surprised – these are excellent tires for the money.
Rain performance – really top class. I tested them hard in heavy downpours on the highway at 110 km/h – zero aquaplaning feeling, zero twitchiness during overtaking, they just hold the line like they're glued. Much more confidence-inspiring than my previous Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 in really bad weather.
Noise & comfort – massive improvement. The Dunlops were quite hard and transmitted every single pebble and expansion joint straight into the cabin. The Vredesteins have a noticeably softer sidewall (thanks to the taller profile and construction), so they filter bumps much better. Cabin is now properly quiet even at highway speeds.
Grip & handling – they sit very planted, steering feels precise, no drama on wet corners or sudden lane changes.
Price – paid ~93–94 € per tire, so ~375 € for the set. For that money getting this level of wet safety + comfort is a steal compared to 120–130 € Continentals or Michelins.
Slightly higher rolling resistance (B label) than some premium EV-optimized tires (A label), so probably 1–2% more consumption on battery mode – but with my low mileage it's completely negligible.
Wear will probably be average (not as long-lasting as Primacy 5), but again – at 5–8k km/year this set will last 5–7 years easily.
If you have a heavy family PHEV/SUV, drive mostly in Central Europe (lots of rain, average roads), don't do crazy mileage and don't want to overpay for a badge – Vredestein Ultrac+ is currently one of the smartest buys in this size. For me personally – best value tire I've had in years.
Would buy again without hesitation.
