I run these tires on my Opel Astra K Sports Tourer for more than 100,000 km mixed driving (motorways, roads and streets) and although I'm not calm and slow driver they still show excellent performance! Quite good dry braking, grip and handling, excellent aquaplaning behavior and wear resistance (after the above mileage the treads are 4mm). The small drawback is that they behave not so well on wet braking and grip, but still reasonable. As far as they are summer type, for cold, snowy and icy weather I recomend changing with winter tires or just staying at home with glass of red wine.

I purchased these tires to replace the original Goodyear Efficient Grip SUV tires which were scandalous, especially on roundabouts in the wet. The Vredstain are a whole other world, incredibly stable especially in the wet and dry. Excellent comfort and mileage. Too bad about the increase in fuel consumption and the fact that they are useless in the snow, chains are needed. Otherwise excellent. Unfortunately they haven't been made like all good things for a while now.

Very prone to understeer in dry & wet conditions, possibly the worst tyre I've ever bought. Don't handle aqua-plaining that well but in a small & light car many tyres struggle here. Getting them to spin is easy even when moving let alone a standing start. ABS triggers under heavy braking consistently. Compared to my previous Bridgestones Potenza RE040 the Sportrac 5's are a wobbly mess. Wear seems fine, expect them to last a while although I can't wait to get rid of them.

My first sporty tyre and it was marvelous completely changed handling of the car. I felt much more in control in all conditions. Wet braking is staggering, I would never think I could stop so fast in greasy conditions. I feel much safer behind the wheel and have much more fun driving, really recommend it.

Got these tires after a set of hankook, drove them 3 years in Wich the lasted 90000 km 56000 miles. Dry road drives incredible the handle like a dream, can put the car in every corner and the won't let go. Wet on the other hand isnt that stable, braking takes a while and the slip sometimes when pressing hard. I adjust my driving for this reason on rainey days but overall not living in a very Rainey courty i would buy them again if i could !

I've got these tyres mounted in my BMW 116i since almost 4 years. After 52.000 kms, they should be at the end of their lifetime, but it seems they will perform well for other 10.000 kms. I spend half of the use in town, and half in motorway. Although I'm a careful driver, it does not mean that I don't push the car to the limit from time to time. And the tyres are not yet wear. I've used them mostly in dry conditions (I live in Spain), but sometimes in wet and even in snow, given that I'm a snow sports lover. The performance in dry is really, really good, although they work not as good in extreme wet conditions. As overall, I'll buy them again.

BEWARE! Not great in my size! I tested many, this was the worst "sporty" tyre...these will ruin your car sportiness. I selled them and replaced with Toyo TR1 (front) and Laufenn s-fit eq+(rear). Both transforming the car literally.

Impressive. I'm not an expert to go in details but I can say I had same good feedback replacing the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 by those Sportrac 5. Very responsive

Sportrac 5 behaves really well at dry. Not being -extrictly speaking- a sport tyre, the behave and response are quite good for a usual driver. The wear is even slower than expected (35.000 kms done and aseems to remain at least 20.000 kms else). The main weakness is the wet weather. Under moderate rain, they still go well, but if there are puddles, the behaviour start to decrease. I also had the chance to drive on snow, and...surprise! they fitted well!! I would recommend them for normal and conservative drivers (non sport style), specially for dry and/or eventual rain. It worths the price-durability-sensations you got.

Best tyres I have used until now.. Was planning to buy a new set but they dont have it in stock due to the pandemic.. Highly recommend..

Best tyres I have used. Good grip both dry and wet roads. Smooth running with almost no noise. Excellent response in turns and braking.

A benchmark tyre for everyday drivers. Comfy, tons of grip, smooth ride.
