Details about tires:

Designed by Giugiaro Design and developed by Vredestein, the Ultrac is the ultimate tyre for the high-end sector. Thanks to its successful cooperation with the Italian design house Giugiaro, Vredestein has established a unique position in this segment. The introduction of the Ultrac 19 inch with the Y speed index (up to 300 km/h) is a logical follow-up.

In aesthetic terms, the Ultrac Y looks the same as the existing Ultrac tyres. It retains the same standards of style and quality that are the hallmark of any tyre from Giugiaro Design, making it ideal for trend-setting car drivers in the higher echelons of the market. Technically speaking, however, this latest tyre from Vredestein has been further developed based upon the company’s Ultimate Handling Construction.

The maximum belt width and composition of the tread mix play a key role in a tyre's road handling ability. Vredestein has succeeded in increasing the belt width by a further 5 mm and therefore significantly enhanced the performance of the Ultrac Y. At the same time, a special cap ply has been added that, in combination with the exceptionally sturdy steel wire, prevents deforming at very high speeds. Finally, a new and innovative tread mix has been developed, which includes an improved Full Silica Silan Solution.

Taken as a whole, these developments have resulted in a tyre that is very predictable in terms of its performance while also offering an even more alert steering
