185/65 14 Tyre Review Highlights
Goodyear Vector 4Seasons rated
100% while driving a Ford Sierra Azura
Driving on
a combination of roads for 4000
spirited miles
Following on from Previous review of these tyres done in December. Now that the weather has warmed up a bit I am pleased to say that the tyres perform to an exceptional standard. I have given top marks for every aspect, but please be aware that they are noisy. I haven't marked them down for that purely because I like the roar that they make when you accelerate (Rear Wheel Drive) They are wearing fantastically well been on for a few months now. Run your hand over them and you can physically feel the power in the grip! (This is not a tyre for drifters. This is a tyre for the driver who wants the car to stay on the line (Stuck to the line) no matter what speed that the wheels are turning.
MOT tester did raise a comment earlier this month "Expecting Snow Are We?!!" Best to be prepared isn't it!!?? 19 Year old Sierra Passed tho!! YAY!
Goodyear Vector 4Seasons rated
100% while driving a Ford Sierra Azura
Driving on
a combination of roads for 2000
average miles
I bought 2 for the rear of my sierra. These are the best tyres i've ever had the pleasure of buying. Got them for £70 each not cheap but when you feel the performance then you know they are worth it. can't really judge them for wear yet but they are so good that I wouldn't mark them down for it. Bit noisy too it's a little like you can hear the tyres actually tearing up the road underneath you. Haven't actually managed to accidently spin the wheels in the snow yet whilst pulling away. Yes they have that much grip!! Buy some! and goodyear thanks for making them in my size!
Pirelli P6000 rated
100% while driving a Ford Mondeo
Driving on
mostly country roads for 25000
easy going miles
Great! Got them on a 1991 1.8 Mondeo I don't kill it anywhere so grip is always good, I do about 5000 miles a year and have had them on for 5 years. Bargain, good even where as well. Looking to get 2 more for the front but can't find any only just started though. Perhaps their was a bit of diesel about for the other drivers to lose grip or wet after a long dry period.
Yokohama C Drive2 rated
100% while driving a Mazda 323f 1.8 GT
Driving on
mostly country roads for 1000
average miles
Nothing not to like. Very happy with these. A soft,grippy tyre that has improved the comfort and roadholding of my Mazda 323Astina. Will definitely buy again. Cornering on the bumpy, mounatain roads where I live is vastly improved.

a combination of roads for 350
spirited miles
I was looking for tires that performe good in dry- and wet conditions, and I just found them. Enormous grip, way better then my last set of tires: continental eco contact
Even in wet conditions, no wheelspin and they give me a safe feeling.
They are even more quiet and more comfy.

Having been very impressed by my winter tyres - Vredestein Snowtrac 3,I decided to have Vredestein Sportrac 5 for summer tyres. My first impression was that they are very quiet and give a feeling of great stability and confidence. The first big test happened when I came round a blind corner at a fair speed, in the wet,and found a sheep and her two lambs standing in the middle of the road. A big emergency stop on a wet road with a bit of lock on the steering ensued. The car doesn't have ABS but it was not necessary. No wheels locked, it stopped beautifully.
I have just returned from a 2000 mile trip in Southern Ireland- plenty of work for tyres and suspension. Irish roads in general are not nearly as good as UK roads but there are occasional stretches of broad empty highway. On these good bits of road I had a fine time trying the tyres to their limits but discovered it was almost impossible within the limits of sane driving to get the back end to move much at all. I had to stop this fine game when my passenger complained of me "hurtling through the corners". These tyres are amazingly grippy.
So, very good in the wet, very good in the dry and nice and quiet. As for wear, well there are no signs of wear yet. Having spent nearly £550 on a set of winter and a set of summer tyres I expect not to have to buy any more tyres for two or three years and I am very pleased to have chosen Vredesteins. I can recommend them, especially if you like an occasional hurtle!
