Have had my V40 D3 Polestar for three years and run on Pirelli Cinturato P7 from new. An OK tyre by lacked road feel, response sluggish and a very noisy tyre.
In my nearly sixty years of driving the widest range of cars/quads/bikes/buggies tried most tyres in most conditions and have an interested (and survivalist) knowledge and feel of what suites my positive style and my transport.
Had Vredestain Cento on a previous Volvo and suited well, but got dated. Replaced the Cinturatos with the Ultrac Satin in the autumn - what an improvement. The feel and response is crisp, feedback immediate, confident in bends and braking and road noise is greatly reduced/almost eliminated (one of the quietest tyres I've had). Bit early to assess wear rates at 1,500 miles in, but no immediate concerns. And a big bonus is that I am also getting a consistent improvement in fuel consumption of around 4 to 5% with very mixed city, rural and motorway driving.
A big "congratulations" to Vredestein from me.
