Performance Analysis

Drawn from 6 tests. Updated October 15, 2025.

Across six summer tests, the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti Plus shows a mixed profile: standout wet handling prowess that twice topped or matched the field contrasts with generally mediocre braking and efficiency results. It has occasional aquaplaning strength and good subjective comfort/steering feel, but dry and wet braking typically sit mid-to-lower tier, and rolling resistance is consistently weak. One notable outlier is the 2022 AutoBild Sportscars test where it finished joint first, driven by exceptional wet handling; however, broader data places it around the middle to lower half overall.

Overall, the tyre's dynamic balance and wet handling grip can be excellent in the right size/vehicle, but braking shortfalls and higher rolling resistance limit its consistency and efficiency. It is best suited to drivers prioritizing wet handling feel and stability over shortest stopping distances or fuel economy.

Tyre Reviews 255/35 R19 Tested by Tyre Reviews

The Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+ was a comfortable performance tyre, but the comfort came at the cost of handling, with the Vorti+ feeling woolly with low levels of grip in the dry and wet.

Tyre Reviews 225/40 R18 Tested by Tyre Reviews

The new Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+ had extremely stable dry handling times with good steering and very good heat resistance. Sadly that seemed to hamper it in the wet, where it couldn't match the best on test.
