Best Tyres for the Ford Focus

Not a lot of grip in the dry and wet compared to a summer tyre. Especially in corners the tyre is not really predictable and does understeer a lot. tread depth is great and has almost not decreased over one winter season.

In comparison with non sport tyres like the Continental PremiumContact 6 the grip in dry conditions is outstanding and better like other tyres I have driven (e.g. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric). The Wet-Grip is surprisingly good and did not fade with lower tread depth (yet). No disturbing noise while driving.

I've had them for two summers and about 10k kms on a Ford Focus ST250. When I was buying them I was looking for good tires at a fair price and these were the newest model available at the time.

Dry: In the dry they have good traction, predictable handlings and good comfort for a UHP tire. Breakaway is communicated well and they don't surprise you out of nowhere. Lift of oversteer is easily achieved and controlled. They do wheelspin a bit in first gear if you are a bit more enthusiastic with the throttle but that's expected on a more powerful fwd car.

Wet: They have good and predictable grip in the wet, good aquaplaning resistance and stop quite well.

Others: Rim guard is somewhere in the middle, not as big as Bridgestone but better than Hankook. Sidewall design is good, comfort and noise are good for a uhp tire. Wear has also been good for me, I expect to change them due to age and not wear but then again I don't do that many miles a year.

It's a tire I like and would recommend. Price to performance is good. Would consider buying. I got their Wintrac Pro Plus to try this winter so I've been satisfied with Vredesteins as a whole.

Focus RS 4wd. Great grip in dry including on track. Haven't tested wet handling or real tread life properly but considering the driving I've done tread wear is good.

I have no wonder how this brand is not counted as a premium one. These tyres are awesome, I changed my Contis for these, and feels far better in terms of comfort, quieter and smoother as well. The grip levels are very good in all conditions, I cannot mention any drawback compared to the Conti.

Regarding the lifespan, I drove about 10000 miles on this set, on the fronts can notice some wear, but I have an FWD diesel car, that's normal. I guess this set will do 40000 miles for me with rotation.

So all in all, I'm satisfied with these tyres and happy to chosen instead of well known premium brands.

Think they are worth the money would definitely buy them again and knowing they are made by the same factory as Dunlop shows

These tyres have very good all round performance and for the price they’re definitely a good choice. For a normal every day use they have good dry and wet grip. I would accept a bit more directness and a bit more sporty handling, but on the other hand on the terrible Hungarian roads it has very good comfort levels.
Although a lot of people say it has high wear, my tyres are in their third season, I’ve already put about 40-50.000 kms into them and still has 3-4 mm depth left, so the wear is much better than I expected considering that I have a habit to drive a bit more sporty.
If you are looking for a tyre for a great price for regular use for a family car or a smaller city car with not high performance these are more than good enough!
I had Vredestein Sportrac 5 and Continental PremiumContact 6 before. The PC6 had the kinda same habit to be a bit more comfort oriented and less direct, while the Sportrac 5’s were very difficult to push to the limit they were like cemented to the ground, so from that point of view I liked the Sportracs more than the PC6.
The Ultracs are more closer to the PC6 in that perspective, they’re more like a comfortable all arounders with more than decent grip in dry or wet circumstances.

For Family driving, very good tyre. Noise is very low like when they were new. Before I had michelins and after 25000, the noise was nearly unbearable. Will buy again.

Compared to the Sava Eskimo S3+, these tires are slightly inferior. In dry conditions, they perform quite well and provide good road grip, although braking performance is somewhat weaker. On wet roads, they tend to exhibit mild slipping, but still remain within safe limits.

On highways, they are relatively quiet, especially when compared to summer tires. Under normal braking, their performance is satisfactory, while during emergency braking they may slightly increase the stopping distance.

For this tire size, ride comfort is at a good level. I have not noticed any significant changes in performance between when the tires were new and after more than 20,000 kilometers of use.

After three years driving, 10.000 km, the tyres no longer flake. They have stabilized. The tread depth was 6 mm when new. Now it is 5 mm on the front tires and 5.5 mm on the rear tires.. 90% driven in Milan City, few miles on the motorway and a few on A-roads • average 40.6 MPG. • 6,636 miles / 164 gallons of petrol."
