Vredestein Ultrac Cento

The Vredestein Ultrac Cento I bought are fitted to a Skoda Superb Mk2 2.0 TDI DSG (170 BHP). Unfortunately, after 1,5 years I got bulges on two front tyres. The tyres are worth the price, but the price of 400 pounds per set and not 150 pounds per tyre as it was earlier. I have used them for two seasons and did ca. 15 thousand miles. When it comes to tread wear, they wear surprisingly slow. They behave best on warm pavement, but unfortunately I can’t use them more aggressively in the car I have as it is a bit long and TC on the rear switches on when you overdo. Unfortunately, as for the UHP tyre, they hum too much above 60 MPH, and such phenomenon wasn’t present in a lower class product – Nankang in this case. If I was to choose new tyre in the price up to 600 pounds other than Vredestein Ultrac Cento, it would be Continental ContiSportContact 3 or CSC 5, as I have such tyres fitted to a Mini Cooper S (200 BHP) and they are perfect on both wet and dry, and they have never squealed – and they passed numerous corners sharply, without cutting. I also decided to change to Nankang AS 1 as they are quieter, and when I do passenger transport, my passengers prefer not to hear humming of the tyres on the motorway, as it is uncomfortable. I don’t use the car on the track, but on public roads, and it’s not a car to use for fun, so the tyres are used in a sensible way. Therefore, I think I don’t need UHP tyres such as Vredestein Ultrac Cento. If I buy a Porsche, then I will fit UHP tyres – for a middle class car, Nankang will be just fine, and I think the fact that these tyres are a revolution in Germany and in the USA is just a confirmation.

Please to not be mislead by my star rating, as you have to rate behaviour of summer tyres in winter conditions, which is ridiculous. When it comes to Vredestein Ultrac Cento tyres themselves, they got fitted to my alloy wheels and they behave superbly on both dry and wet. Very good grip. After doing almost 8500 miles they have minimal, however visible wear. I think that if someone does a lot of miles (ca. 20000 a year), then these tyres should last about 3-4 seasons. I have a few objections when it comes to noise level, because it all depends on the surface – they are a bit loud on rough surface, but on smooth pavement and concrete they are very quiet. Shock absorbing can be only rated as good, but I have hard suspension and it also may have influence. My general rating in 1-10 scale is 9, but I think that for this price, Vredestein Ultrac Cento are good tyres with great driving properties, however bear in mind they are not the quietest (it all depends on the surface). It’s hard for me to say if I would buy Vredestein Ultrac Cento again, but I can say I will definitely stay with Vredestein. Read more Collapse

Vredestein Ultrac Cento is a tyre rather for moderate driving style, as it is very soft – therefore, it’s very comfortable. It absorbs all the bumps, holes and speed humps without any problem. It’s a bit worse in fast corners. I previously used Dunlop SP Sport MAXX and it was great in the corners, but over time it became very loud and wore rapidly in moderate driving. When I fitted my new Vredestein Ultrac Cento tyres, I thought I am riding a hovercraft or someone has just replace my whole suspension with brand new parts – they are so quiet and comfortable, I was shocked. For winter, I fitted some Michelin tyres and they are also way back when it comes to silence and comfort, but the reason for this may be that these tyres are already old and have only 8 mm tread. I have some objections against Vredestein Ultrac Cento tyres as the brand was unknown to me, but now I don’t regret I chose them, however the tyres are still new – we’ll see what happens next.

I was looking for a comfortable tyre with a low profile, but also with sports characteristics, and Vredestein Ultrac Cento met my requirements. Driving comfort is very good despite low profile, noise is almost inaudible - it's very quiet. Tread wear is moderate, however the tyre seems to be a bit soft, I can't see visible signs of wear after 8000 miles. Generally, I drive fast and dynamically, the 2.5 V6 engine in my car only encourages to do so, and the tyre allows to do much. In my opinion, if someone likes to drive fast and comfortable at the same time, Vredestein Ultrac Cento is the tyre perfect for such purpose. Read more Collapse

Vredestein Ultrac Cento tyre looks marvellous on the wheel. It's very quiet and has very low rolling resistance. It's sensational on dry - the car goes like glued to the surface. Also, the tyre is hard and makes the car take the corners like it was on tracks. Unfortunately, it's a total disaster on wet surface. It often loses traction during starting and makes ABS switch on during sudden braking. Generally, I can recommend Vredestein Ultrac Cento, but you have to watch out on wet in order not to hit someone's rear end. Next time, I think I will go for a different tyre. Read more Collapse

Vredestein Ultrac Cento is a superb tyre! It's a bit soft but this is the one I was looking for. I changed it from my used Bridgestone Potenza. I can defintiely recommend these for BMW E46 drivers. I have struggled with the problem of rut swerving for a very long time, I couldn't manage to hold the wheel, I took a risk and bought 225/45R17 Vredestein Ultrac Cento - and the problem disappeared instantly! The tyre goes in ruts very well. Vredestein Ultrac Cento is a great example, that the myth of a wide tyre swerving in ruts is only a myth. Read more Collapse

I had problems with Vredestein Ultrac Cento in the very first season of use - I felt vibrations at ca. 90 MPH. After a long struggle (wheel re-balancing, brake disc control) ot turned out that the tyres are deformed. I made a warranty claim and had both tyres replaced (their vibrations were 10,5 kgs and 10 kgs). The other two weren't replaced as they had the vibration of "only" 9 and 9,5 kgs... I continue to use them, but the wheel still vibrates... Vredestein Ultrac Cento may look nice, but they are definitely not for use on a heavy car! Read more Collapse

I bought Vredestein Ultrac Cento tyres because of the special promotion. I was afraid of using Y-rated tyres, but I was pleasantly surprised. The tyre is not very hard, absorbs bumps nicely. The car handles better in the corners on dry. The only drawback is the tendency for the car's front to go off-course on wet. During faster cornering, you have to remember about it. In my personal opinion, Yekohama Decibel is a way better tyre than Vredestein Ultrac Cento - both on dry and wet. Read more Collapse

After driving ca. 25 thousand miles on Vredestein Ultrac Cento, I have a good opinion about these tyres. Good driving properties, appropriate comfort, low noise level (it depends much on surface type). Their wear is normal, there are no worrying signs of aging or rapid wear. Compared to Michelin Primacy HP (I use them in my other car), I don't see any difference between them and Vredestein Ultrac Cento. The driving impressions are pretty much the same.

I've had Vredestein Ultrac Cento on the front axle of my Astra estate (150 BHP) in the size 225/45R17. After two rear tyres wore out, I bought another two Vredestein Ultrac Cento, as they are very quiet and grip the roaad well. Lack of bump absorption is connected with low profile. The car goes like on tracks and doesn't swerve in the corners. Read more Collapse

Only four tyres are listed for my vehicle and these are the best rated on noise grip and economy. Although they were the second most expensive they were much less than the 'top' brand but very little more than the other two. Read more Collapse

I cant fault these tyres, I have had nearly 30,000 miles out of the rears, and 22,000 miles from the fronts, this is amazing for a 2.2 tonne car, they are quiet and have good grip regardless of the weather. Read more Collapse

Hi, I want to fix my pointing at previous review, because I gave to these tyres very low points(I made mistake, I gave 1 instead of 5), so after all very good tyres, I will recommend them. Read more Collapse

Tyres are very comfortable, and very good corner grip and noise level is very low. My friend recommended me these tyres from Germany. And that was very good deal to buy. Read more Collapse

Tire recommendable. While searching for the best option for me many fitters popped his head that I am looking for such exotic - maybe for them because they are limited to what for years squeeze unknowing consumers. I suggested a generally prevailing opinions on the internet and industry forums. The company in fact little known in Poland, but the West has a lot better. I do not regret buying - what you describe about her -się checks and I'm very happy with use. Tires very quiet - not too soft - not too hard - ideal to take the exam on dry and wet roads - some unevenness / stable - do not lose track - after the first season, and 12000 km look new / very good, ie low consumption rate, so quietly at a fairly aggressive driving can withstand 3 seasons as before with other brands Premium did not succeed. I would recommend skeptics! Worth buying! Read more Collapse

Tires very quiet, almost after a year of use and bicycling almost 15tys. miles do not see any wear. Quite long rant protective rim has helped in many challenging curb. Tires positively surprised me in the wet, while sudden braking ABS did not give to know of its existence. Tires generate very little noise which affects the comfort, especially the route about 500 km. Before buying I compared several other brands, and I bought because of the low noise. As it turned out the difference 4dBi. is huge (the human ear feels it in half down). When cornering feel that the tires are still in contact with the road. To this day I have not found any faults, so if you will continue to serve this next tires will be the same brand, especially now that winter is approaching. Read more Collapse

Quite hard to be fast while not so hard to give too much slippage at the start, au me a fairly simple (excess capacity, hard suspension and low weight of the vehicle). Perfect for me. Especially great behave on the water - the problem of aquaplaning farewell forever - only passengers get a heart attack as I do not mind driving on water at 140 km / h) Ideal for highly dynamic driving and short braking distances. As for durability, it is still too early for an opinion. Riding mainly in the delegations, so outside the city. They hold up so well in the corners that Hyundai Tiburon 2.7 V6 with 174 hp, I have to take an amendment to the passenger, because his face imprinted on the side window;) Read more Collapse

Tires really recommendable. Driving on a dry surface leaves no doubt that we are dealing with a tire adapted to dynamic driving. When driving in the rain tire drains water really sensational for a car you can see literally a wall of rain drained from tires. The car's braking is really sensational, regardless of whether the normal braking or left leg dohamowywania car perfectly, holding on to the road. And what is the most important tire really very durable, Our roads are what they are and honestly with the bait at such a low profile tire already tough lot. Summarising the perfect choice, honestly recommend without hesitation and would choose it again. Read more Collapse

I was looking for a quiet / comfortable tire with a low profile and I'm happy, although in some sections (rough surface) tire pretty much noise. Both on dry and wet surface gives you full control over the car and there is no concern of aquaplaning (no mention of ruts because of this, no tire can not do it). Very good ride comfort despite the low profile, attrition - moderate. After around 20 thousand. consumption at an acceptable level. It seems that should be enough for about 3-4 seasons. Attractive appearance of the tire is why I recommend. Read more Collapse

I bought these tires even though I had never heard of this company but read a little bit and they were all good reviews so I decided to and I do not regret. Tires look cool but most importantly great road holding on wet and dry. Inequalities it is not bad for such a low profile, known inequalities but feel it can be safely withstand. Price tires great for the quality they offer. I would recommend indecisive and, of course, only OPONEO, nice contact and fast delivery that distinguishes them no and price :) Read more Collapse

Surely tire quiet, but thought it would be quieter. More than 110 km / h much noise. The impression of riding a hovercraft. Noi stress - the wet weak note on slippage during cornering .. Just do not recommend it in the area. What to abrasion yet it well. The greatest stress is such that pa tire tread is not only pdłużne incision. Despite the manufacturer's declaration, until starch think how to keep the emergency brake Read more Collapse

Tire fantastic ease on wet and dry. The lack of any malfunction. The fuel consumption do not care so I have no opinion. Volume rolling? It is not to be bezszelesnym skates. The noise is energy losers. What loses? For sticking to the asphalt. My next set of Vredestein and would rather stay with them unless they heap more will prove a terrible disaster. Vredestein good job :-) Read more Collapse

Maybe my opinion will not be too helpful but write that that tires are very cool, with a combustion was able to go down by 0.5 l / 100km so there's always something, they are very quiet perhaps many did not notice a difference but I hear a big difference. When it comes oz this use did not notice the difference with other tires. I highly recommend! Read more Collapse

Grip on wet TGE is good, but slightly behind Uniroyal in my experience. directional grip is incredible in a dry and humid. Aquaplaning is good, but not perfect. A little behind Pirelli P6000. All things considered, it is an excellent performance tire for the price. It is also very quiet at all speeds. I would definitely recommend to a friend. Read more Collapse

For a short ride to judge but to bombard mails so I gave your opinion. After the season I'll run over another, and now I'll just add that has not had such a great tire. Quiet and good brakes on dry, wet attached to the ABS but I think the fault of driving style. In the autumn I will add again opinions. Read more Collapse

The tire throughout the summer season shows minimal signs of wear. Previously rode Godyerach Eagle F1 and I admit that, compared with those Vredstein is a softer tire which is reflected in chałasie in the cabin and comfort cushioning. As I wrote I thought Vredsteiny will quickly clashed but it is not bad. Read more Collapse

Great quality product with very good parameters. High resistance to wear (after approx. 5000 km) minimum marks. Tire quiet, almost inaudible noise rolling. Very good price. Car cornering carried out safely and predictably. I would recommend the product to people who like fast but not reckless driving. Read more Collapse

I did not know I bought the brand because of the low noise according to the catalog. Tire-class, such as Yokohama persists. Outstanding on the highway, for high speed. It is acoustically transparent, as if she was not there. I have not tested the acute driving in curves, may have skids. Read more Collapse

Very good tires it is actually the highest shelf. I bought tires in size 225/45 17 I started them in late winter, exercised as far as good as a summer tire. After about 15 thousand. you do not see a trace of abrasion. Quiet and very comfortable. For sure I will return to this brand. Read more Collapse

Very interesting tire. Quiet and comfortable during normal driving. The fun starts only when baaaardo dynamic. Then there are like smeared with glue. In the rain the best I've had. The admirable traction during emergency braking. An honest recommendation for dynamic drivers. Read more Collapse

The tires are really performing well in all conditions, fast enough and not just warm throw rubber like some of those Chinese. I almost 10k km and Tyes still look like they are new. My only complaint is the noise, but at this price I'm fine with it. highly recommended Read more Collapse

Recently, I started pulling off the tyres Yokohama decibel70 and I must admit that the difference in favor of the colossal Vredestein. Unbeatable driving comfort and a wonderful silence. In short I am very zadowoliny. Tyres recommendable. Read more Collapse

Tires soft, well dampen inequality, not noise. But on the other hand, probably faster wear. I made them only 5000 km and can be seen wearing. Very good hold in dry conditions, but the rain you have to be careful prone to hydroplaning. Read more Collapse

Goodyer F1. Vredestain less sticky, but it is quieter and keeps well in the wet. I highly recommend for those who do not submit to the comfort of the performance! The tire of a set of 4 to rozwarstwiła. The complaint was accepted. Read more Collapse

Tires wear out very slowly, after the first season, they look almost like new, quiet should be enough even for three seasons, they do not get any bumps, not cracked, only at speeds above 130km / h for a bit more noise. Recommend Read more Collapse
