Vredestein Sportrac 5 195/55 R16 91 V XL, VW

It is my second set of tires from Vredestein company (previous Hi-Track 2). I'm not a boy racer, but I cannot call myself very calm driver either. In general I am happy with brand and tire performance, good on wet (Ireland ;-) ), never let me down, fast cornering is not a problem too (talking about driving with faster peace - not racing). Between Hi-Track 2 and current ones got set of "Bridgestone Turanza ER300" - have seen no difference in performance whatsoever, and they got worn twice faster than Hi-Track 2 - that's why came back to Vredestein brand. So far so good :-) Can easily recommend! Read more Collapse

I was short on money when I was buying the tyres which is why I didn't chose Continental ContiSportContact which I was initially planning. Last ones I drove were ContiPremiumContact 2. The Vredestein seem to have better grip, especially on curves, where I like to take the car to the limits - especially in the small curvy roads of west Ireland. The previous ones were really good, so I wasn't expecting that Vredestain would be better, but they were. Unfortunately they're significantly louder. I don't care about that much, so I would happily buy these tyres again. Read more Collapse

I have covered almost 10,000km on these, mostly motorway/good quality roads and they have performed quite well all round. They are good in dry and wet, and on frosty/light ice covered roads. They are excellent value for money considering many brands are twice the price. Read more Collapse

Really happy with the tyres, very good grip in dry and wet, very quiet. The car handles very well with them on, they give you a lot of confidence in them in the wet. A great buy Read more Collapse

Fantastic tyres at a good price. I'm very impressed by the grip and roadholding of these tyres and have recommended them to friends. They seem to be wearing slowly aswell. Read more Collapse
