Vredestein Ultrac summer tyre range expanded

Apollo Tyres is expanding its range of Vredestein Ultrac summer tyres, adding 18 new options from 17 to 18 inches.

The Ultrac portfolio now encompasses 63 different dimension options, from 15 to 18 inches.

Daniele Lorenzetti, CTO at Apollo Tyres, said strong demand for the range was the reason for the expansion.

“Strong and sustained demand for the Ultrac range since it was launched early in 2021 prompted us to develop these new variants of the product for larger wheels, improving availability of the product for a wider range of vehicles,” he said.

“Thanks to our R&D engineers, the tyre delivers superior standards of handling, comfort and noise reduction in the highly competitive summer tyre market,” he added.

Developed by the Apollo Tyres global R&D centre in Enschede, Netherlands, the Ultrac range delivers high levels of comfort, as well as impressive handling and cornering even at high speeds, according to the tyre maker.

This is facilitated by an enhanced tyre cavity with a squarer footprint, stiffer tread pattern and centre rib with parabolic lateral grooves.

Apollo says the tyre also enhances steering response and precision for a safe and dynamic driving experience and offers impressive rolling resistance and fuel efficiency.
