Vredestein Ultrac Vorti R: The Ultimate High-Performance Summer Tire
Exceptional Grip and Precision for High-Performance Vehicles
The Vredestein Ultrac Vorti R is the pinnacle of ultra-high-performance summer tires, designed to deliver unparalleled road grip and driving precision. Tailored for high-powered passenger cars, this tire excels in maintaining traction even at elevated temperatures and during sharp turns. Its exceptional stability at high speeds makes it the perfect match for sports cars with both all-wheel and rear-wheel drive systems, offering a superior driving experience for those who demand more from their tires.
Innovative Design and Collaboration
Developed in close collaboration with the renowned Italian design firm Giugiaro, the Ultrac Vorti R boasts unique design elements, including carbon accents on the sidewall and tread. These features not only enhance the tire's aesthetic appeal but also contribute to its outstanding performance characteristics.
Optimized for Rear Axle Performance
Available in various sizes, the Ultrac Vorti R is specifically optimized for the rear axle, ensuring maximum performance on dry surfaces. The adjusted belt angle and reduced negative tread ratio are engineered to maintain superior road grip, while the front tires effectively channel away water on wet roads. Whether you're navigating tight corners or cruising at high speeds, the Ultrac Vorti R provides the confidence and control you need.
The Ultrac Vorti R is Vredestein’s most sporty Ultra High Performance summer tyre to date. Compared to the Ultrac Vorti, the emphasis with the Ultrac Vorti R lies with ensuring grip and driving precision for the most powerful cars. The tyre maintains its traction at higher temperatures, including on bends, and is exceptionally stable at high speeds. It is therefore the ideal partner for four-wheel and rear-wheel drive sports cars that demand the most from their tyres.
The Ultrac Vorti R was developed in close cooperation with Italian design company Giugiaro, and the carbon accents on the sidewall and in the tread are a design feature unique to this tyre. It is available in several sizes that have been specifically optimised for the rear axle. They include an adjusted belt angle and an even lower air ratio, with an increased focus on maintaining grip on dry surfaces (as the front tyres discharge most of the water on wet roads).
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
E
B
70dB
