Vredestein points to strong summer tyre test showing

Vredestein representatives are highlighting the results the brand’s summer tyres have achieved in recent independent tyre tests. The Vredestein Sportrac 5 and Vredestein Ultrac Vorti were rated highly in various independent European tyre tests across dry handling, sound level and fuel consumption tests.

German car magazine Auto Bild, the German and Austrian automobile clubs ADAC and ÖAMTC, and the consumer organisation Stiftung Warentest subjected the all-round model Vredestein Sportrac 5 and the Ultra High Performance tyre Vredestein Ultrac Vorti to their multipurpose testing programmes.

The test results pointed to excellent performance on both wet and dry surfaces. According to Dr Seshu Bhagavathula, chief technology officer, Apollo Tyres Ltd, “The test results of Vredestein Sportrac 5 and other product lines are a testimony to the cutting-edge technology and process innovation at Apollo’s R&D centre in the Netherlands. It has helped us to continuously meet the exacting demands of our customers.”

The Netherlands-based Apollo Tyres’ Global R&D Centre for passenger vehicle tyres works closely with the Giugiaro design studio in Italy – “form follows function” is Vredestein’s motto. The Giugiaro lines are found on almost all Vredestein tyres, including the Vredestein Sportrac 5 and the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti, which represent crucial pillars in the Vredestein range.

The Vredestein Sportrac 5 is available in sizes from 14 to 18 inches and the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti from 17 to 22 inch.
