Great tyre with stacks of grip. Nice soft wall so gives you more cabin comfort and reduces road noise. These will give you track day grip on normal every day roads. Very happy at £99 a corner you can not go wrong. So far ran on these for 8500 miles with approx 25% wear.

these tyres are just ridiculously good!
300+hp up front and gripping is fantastic! even in wet, you wouldnt notice the difference!
cornering! like on rails makes for so much confidence bending it around!
imo there is no better tyre!

Going from Conti SC3s to these all round its like Night and Day tbh... Have no doubt in my mind i wish i used these around the Nurburgring when i visited a couple of months back... really compliments the Quaife LSD...

I wouldnt hesitate to recommend these tyres, having just visited the Evo Triangle in north wales, I have gained far more confidence over the Conti's...

Premium Assymetric tyre for a midrange price... independant tyre reviews agree

Having changed to these tyres from Yokohamas following reading several positive reviews, I couldn't be more pleased. The Yohohamas were DREADFUL in the wet and these Vreds are excellent. Due to the low profile they are very firm but most others at this profile would be the same. Never let me down even when pushed hard. Prefer them to Continentals and Pirellis. Would purchase again.

Due to all reviews and feedback from fellows I changed my bridgestone S001 with the vorti; I was 100% happy with the S001 because of their stiff sidewall mostly. The Vreds looks more or less the same and they are cheaper, so far so good. Maybe not as stiff as Bridgestone. Personally I don't like the Giugiaro logo on sidewall. Anyway good tyres

Had the Bridgstone run flats removed and the Veld Vortis fitted and the difference is like night and day. The first things you notice is the ride and the noise or to be more specific the lack of noise.First the ride . Gone is the tooth shaking effect experienced every time you went over a patch in the road or a change in surface, now the car just rides over them , the reduction in tyre noise is incredible its now possible have a conversation with the passenger. Tram-lining is a thing of the past you can actually drive the car now. The grip is fantastic and the rears respond instantly when you put your foot down. Overall I am impressed.

No doubt this could be achieved with other tyre makes and specs but for me the Vredstein Ultrac Vorti is the way to go.

Tyre pressure as the car recommended pressures are based on run flats I stuck with my gut feeling of 34 psi on fronts 225x40x18 and 36 on rears 255x35x18. and the balance seem's fine, will keep an eye on tyre wear and adjust if needed.

Would I choose Vorti's ,in a heart beat

Hi to all!
I was looking for tires wich are very stabil on a high speeds on the wet and dry grip, and has as much possible good wear. Nothing else i was not interested.
I installed my Vorti month ago and went to trevel to Europe with them.
Now is 5100km spent on odometr.
Half of the way in Germany i drive very sporty from 180-230km, couple of hours from 200-230km? also was on wet and dry conditions (in heavy rain too).
Other way in different countries had a 110-150km.
Before i use Bridgestone Dueller HP Sport in 235/45/19 on this car and Michelin PilotSport3 on fathers Focus in 225/40/18 so i will compare with them.
My opinion about Vori is:
- Fenomenal grip on Dry
- Exellent grip on Wet. I drive in rain in autobahns 180-200km on straight. Only in a long curve closely to the corner was more water and in 160-170km i got and feel some short aquaplanning. But it is ok for this water and speed.
- Very quite tires, so quite that i'm surprised. Quiter than MPS3 and Bridgestone.
- Progressive and Feedback are perfect as on i high speeds tires are stiil keeping a touch with you also in a long curves and have the effect of expansion duting a heave braking.
- Incredibly good wear! I checked the new tires they had a 6.5 to 7mm. After 5100km in such conditions - they are absolutely same!
I will definitely recommend Ultrac Vorti!

After alot of research I bought these tyres and was really pleasee I did!
I have a 2004 A4 with uprated 2007 s line 18" 8j ronal alloys. The tyres that came with them were 245 40 18 P zero's, a decent tyre but with too much wear and lacking wet grip. I now have 225 40 18 vredestein ultra vorti's on all corners. They look great with a very sleek tight look and a good rim protector. My car now sits better on the road. Dry and wet grIp is amazing. I will be choosing these again for sure! Payed £87 each from Camskil wih next day delivery.

I have recently fitted these tyres after a lot of consideration. My baptism was a 200 mile drive immediately after install. My car was marginally quieter, smoother and considerably more ' planted ' on all road surfaces.
An excellent looking tyre too which inspires confidence even when the car is standing still.
I am more than happy with my choice,the tyres were supplied and excellently fitted by Colin Brennan Motor Services of Lancs 07973 714260.

Mac

I have given these tyres full marks across the board as they have completely transformed my car. Previously had Continental contact 3's and these blow them away. Grp is superb in all conditions and they are much quieter.

Had to wait a week for them to be imported by mytyres.co.uk but was totaly worth it.

Bought them over pilot sports and havent looked back!

Do it!

Just put four of these on my car, replacing a set of Avon ZZ5's

I'm very impressed by the look, performance and value of these tyres . Noticeably better than the Avon on wet grip and 'responsiveness' in corners, and certainly compatible with previous Conti Sport Contact 3's - which are notably more expensive.

These sit especially well on the rims - with a good rim protector and a nice square tyre wall. They also bedded in very quickly.

I actually prefer this pattern to the 'fancy' sessanta's, which I've also had before on 18's.

Very impressed so far, would buy again and highly recommend to someone keen to buy performance tyres at good value. N.b. paid £150 a corner supplied and fitted.
