Vredestein introduces larger Ultrac sizes

Apollo Tyres is expanding its Vredestein Ultrac summer tyre range with the addition of 18 new options for 17- and 18-inch rim diameters. The Ultrac portfolio now encompasses 63 different 15- to 18-inch dimensions.

Coinciding with these new arrivals, the Ultrac has collected another accolade from an independent automotive publication, this time from German motoring magazine Autozeitung, which conducted a group test of leading summer tyres. Auto Zeitung rated the tyre ‘very recommendable’ and named it runner-up in the 2022 summer test.

“Strong and sustained demand for the Ultrac range since it was launched early in 2021 prompted us to develop these new variants of the product for larger wheels, improving availability of the product for a wider range of vehicles,” shares Daniele Lorenzetti, chief technology officer at Apollo Tyres. “Thanks to our R&D engineers, the tyre delivers superior standards of handling, comfort and noise reduction in the highly competitive summer tyre market.”

Regarding the Auto Zeitung test, he adds: “We are always proud and pleased whenever an independent publication highlights the performance of our products. To receive recognition from a magazine as prestigious as Auto Zeitung speaks volumes for the Ultrac and the team behind it.”
