Description
 
The Ultrac Vorti is the result of intensive cooperation between Vredestein and several renowned partners in the automotive industry. The tread was developed together with Giugiaro Design.
Whether looking at its tread or its sidewall, the Ultrac Vorti stands out for its sportiness, style and innovation. Moreover, the stunning design has been combined with the most advanced technical details. The outer walls of the two circumferential grooves have a double angle to ensure more block stability in the lateral direction and better compensate for the sideways forces around bends. The lateral grooves ensure even rolling characteristics, preventing uneven wear and maintain low sound levels. Special arrowheads in the tread reinforce the tire’s course tracking ability.

4-radii-contour
In contrast to the more common 3-radii contours, the Ultrac Vorti has a 4-radii contour. This innovative solution increases the contact surface and ensures an even surface pressure distribution.

Low sound levels
The Ultrac Vorti has an intelligent, asymmetrical distribution of the tread blocks in the shoulder of the tire. Together with an optimized angle of the lateral shoulder grooves this minimizes noise production. Shifting the blocks on the inner and outer shoulder of the tire in relation to each other prevents any sound amplification. This makes the tire even quieter; not only when new but throughout its entire lifespan.

Car/Truck Enthusiast Aggressive Driver 2002 GMC DENALI
    To start off, I have a really lowered Yukon Denali (to the point OE tire size would sit on fenders) and have had the experience of running 5 different sets of tires over the years of my build, ranging from OE 17's to multiple different 20' sizes, with the most recent size being a 285/50/20 and what I'm mostly going to compare too. Anyways, I wanted the best summer tire thats as close to a sports car tire as I could get because I always end up chu... read more...

Daily Driver/Commuter Aggressive Driver 2004 AUDI A6 QUATTRO
    Overall I feel its a very good tire except that they tend to follow grooves in the road which I feel is because of the tread design. Prior to these I had a set of the Ultrac Secenta, which are now discontinued, which I loved and I only bought these because those were discontinued. Next time around I will shop for a different tire.

Daily Driver/Commuter Aggressive Driver 2007 JAGUAR XK-R
    These are excellent tires, they are everything the reviews have said they were. Comparative to the popular enthusiast brands out there like Pilots, KDW etc. I have found these to be superior and at half the cost. I am running these on a 2007 Jaguar XK-R which is my DD and sees about 80 miles of daily travel of mixed highway (stop and go traffic in Dallas rush hour) and city driving. I will say I put the rating for treadwear at average as previo... read more...
