Vauxhall vectra vxr 280bhp Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti R given 91% (235-35-19-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 30 average miles
I bought a Vectra B GSi 2.5 V6 (Facelift) with these already fitted in about 2005, I had not previously heard of them but now I won't fit any other tyre brand to my cars. I have recommended them to anyone I know that asks me (I'm a mechanic) and as I look after all the vehicles in my family, I obviously only fit these as they are ready for changing. The handling at the limit score I gave is at MY limit, I always remove my tyres at 3mm in winter (all 4) and 2.5mm in summer, I never run tyres to the markers as this is the MINIMUM for safety and I my own vehicles are always high powered. I have never once felt like I was in trouble with these tyres fitted and as for handling, my own opinion is why risk a change when these have performed at an outstanding level. This may just be how I am personally, but I check my tyre pressures sometimes 4 times in a week depending on how many miles I have been doing, I check them after EVERY long motorway journey (say over 100 miles or more) and keep them supple with conditioners after washing (the outlay is a no brainer to keep the outer walls from drying out in direct sun if nothing else) I have had a Vectra VXR now for over 10 years, I changed the Conti's to 'VRed's' as soon as they were ready and apart from a friend offering me a set of two Conti Sport Contacts for a price I wasn't able to refuse, I have only had Vred's on. I do all kinds of mileage, motorway as well as city and just occasionally when there is no risk to any other road user I have a little 'play' and put her through her paces ... these tyres IMO are as crucial to the vehicle (and my peace of mind) as the suspension and steering ... I get about a bit with mixed mileage, the last set changed - rear are still on at 4.5mm and 30,000 miles - front JUST changed, I removed the Reds after 23,500 miles at 3mm and put aforementioned Conti's on, I removed those at 15,500 miles with 3mm left ... Overall opinion ... The most UNDERRATED tyre on the market ... These are Very High Performance tyres masquerading as a better than mid range tyre ... but Shhh .. or the price will go up !!

I'm running 235/35/19 on these tyres in my vectra vxr running at 366bhp and 454 pound of torque,
Have to I'v never use these tyres and will use them again, in the wet there is no traction what so ever all the car wants to do is spin, and for the handing is pathetic go round roundabouts the car just wants to go straight on, comfortable when your cruising the only good thing about them. Would I buy these again definitely "NOT" I don't what to die.

Writing about the Avon ZZ5 given 90% (235-35-19-W)
Driving on mostly motorways for 4000 spirited miles
Fitted on a vectra vxr pushing 300bhp & 400 foot pound torque.very impressed with these ZZ5 tyres every bit as good as the perreli p zero k1 tyres that They replaced,small spin up on full throttle 1st,2nd gear both wet or dry, but that's to be expected with 400 pounds of torque wet grip is great as well gives you plenty of confidence. cost me £110 a corner so I think they are great value for money

Writing about the Uniroyal RainSport 3 given 87% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
Awesome tyre 235/35/19s FWD car is running at 320bhp, more importantly with a tyre a balding 550nm of torque. They replaced the excellent Goodyear eagle Assy 2s with a disappointing 2.4mm at approx 7000miles, no real noticeable difference for me.

Also one of the best looking tyres I've ever had. Cost £254 fitted for the pair, £60 cheaper than the Goodyear F1s at the time.

Cant say say much about comfort due to the low 35mill profile.
