Vredestein Ultrac

The Vredestein Ultrac Pro ultra-high performance summer car tyre will arrive in spring 2024. It is the Apollo Tyres premium brand's first new summer UHP tyre since the launch of the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti in 2012. Vredestein says the new tyre will offer advanced handling capabilities and superior driving comfort at an accessible price. The Vredestein Ultrac Pro will be available in a wide range of 18-24” sizes. These sizes will be compatible with sportscars, supercars and high-performance saloons, hatchbacks and SUVs. 

The BMW Group has selected Vredestein Ultrac tyres as original equipment for the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer. It will fit three sizes of Vredestein Ultrac: 205/65R16 95W, 205/60R17 97W XL and 225/50R18 99W XL. All factory-fitted tyres worn by the new BMW feature a star symbol on the sidewall to indicate that they are a bespoke product developed for this particular vehicle. The star-marked tyres will also be available for purchase as aftermarket fitments at BMW franchised dealers.

Drivers of cars with 17- and 18-inch rims now have more options within the Vredestein Ultrac range. The introduction of 18 new dimension for these rim diameters boosts the Ultrac portfolio to a total of 63 sizes for 15- to 18-inch rims.

The new Vredestein Ultrac summer car tyre has been launched today. The new varient improves wet and dry performance by 15 per cent, representing a big leap forward for the brand. The Ultrac will be available in range of sizes between 15 and 18 inches for compact-medium sized cars. It has also been developed with sustainability in mind. Rolling resistance has been reduced by 5 per cent in a boost for fuel efficiency. Vredestein has developed the tyre with a 50 per cent increase in traction-enhancing silica and resin compounds, which have helped to reduce braking distances by 10 per cent. It also uses materials more efficiently, making the tyre lighter. As a result, Vredestein calls the tyre’s performance “best-in-class”.
