Vredestein, a renowned Dutch brand owned by Apollo Tyres, has recently launched a new range of tires, including the Pinza HT and larger sizes for the Ultrac Vorti I. These new offerings cater to different needs, with the Pinza HT designed for SUVs and the Ultrac Vorti I targeting luxury and performance SUVs.
The Pinza HT range, which focuses on highway terrain, has been receiving rave reviews internationally, with consumer reports ranking it among the top three premium HT tires in the USA. These tires are built to withstand extreme weather conditions, with testing done in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 60°C. The incorporation of 3D sipes ensures consistent performance throughout the tire’s lifespan, making them a reliable choice for various SUV models.
During a test drive in Ooty, the Pinza HT tires showcased their off-road capabilities on a challenging trail, displaying excellent grip on loose rocks and dirt. The minimal wheel spin and slipping experienced during the test highlighted the tire’s traction and stability. While the off-road performance was impressive, the tires also excelled on the highway, delivering a quiet and comfortable ride with efficient bump absorption.
On the other hand, the Ultrac Vorti I range offers high-performance tires for luxury SUVs, with new 21- and 22-inch sizes introduced in India. These tires, designed by renowned car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, provide exceptional grip and handling, making them ideal for vehicles like the Mercedes GLS, Lamborghini Urus, and BMW X5. Test-driving these tires on the COASTT track revealed great off-the-line grip and impressive lateral stability, allowing for confident cornering at high speeds.
What’s noteworthy is that both tire ranges are manufactured in India, eliminating the need for costly imports and duties. Additionally, the tires come with a 5-year manufacturing warranty and a 2-year road hazard protection cover. Vredestein’s commitment to energy efficiency is evident through its voluntary participation in the BEE star rating program, with a full 5-star rating achieved for rolling resistance, leading to potential fuel efficiency benefits for consumers.
Overall, Vredestein’s latest tire offerings provide a blend of performance, durability, and comfort, catering to the diverse needs of SUV owners in India and beyond. Experience the innovation and quality of Vredestein tires for yourself, and elevate your driving experience to new heights.
