Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
74/100From 61 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
76/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 61 owner reviews found online.
The Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+ is well received as a sporty, grippy ultra-high-performance tire that delivers confident dry handling and good steering feel. Most reviewers also report solid wet performance and a more comfortable, quieter ride than their previous tires, though a few find wet grip short of the best rivals. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with high ratings and only minor reservations.
Pros
- Strong dry grip and sharp, communicative handling, including under hard driving and track use
- Good wet grip and braking reported by many users, including in storms and floods
- Improved comfort and reduced road noise compared with previous tires such as Pirelli P Zero runflats and Uniroyal RainSport
- Well-balanced, confidence-inspiring performance in varied conditions, with good steering feel and stopping distance
- Durable under demanding use, with one user reporting about 13k miles of hard daily driving on the rears
Cons
- Wet performance is not class-leading for some users, who found it less secure than Michelin Pilot Sport 5 or other tires they had used
- Poor grip in snow, as expected of a summer-oriented tire
- Possibly slightly reduced cornering grip compared with a previous tire, according to one reviewer
- Not the ultimate choice for pure performance, according to one reviewer
- Non-XL construction looks slightly skinny on a heavier SUV, in one reviewer's opinion
Worth knowing
- Performance cars were praised for dry handling: an Audi TT RS (8S) owner reported no understeer under hard driving, and a BMW 125i (E82) owner used a staggered 225/40R18 front and 255/35R18 rear setup on track.
- Reviewers moving from Pirelli P Zero runflats on 18-inch fitments, including on BMWs, reported better handling, comfort and grip.
- A rear-wheel-drive owner reported secure traction in heavy rain, while a high-mileage VW Touareg owner chose the tire for price and brand and noted it looked narrow because it is not XL.
