Last Day: Become a Tire Tester for Grassroots Motorsports and Vredestein

Vredestein knows that Grassroots Motorsports knows a thing or two about performance tires. And they know that our readers do, too.

That’s why they came to us with a simple request: Find five readers worthy of a set of Vredestein’s latest performance tires, their Ultrac Vorti and Ultrac Vorti R.

Vredestein Tires

What do they want in return? They want your feedback, in the form of three blog posts: One when you receive the tires, one after three months of driving, and a final recap after six months with the tires. Every post will be published on GrassrootsMotorsports.com, and yes–you’ll get to keep the tires after those six months are over.

Of course, there aren’t enough tires in the world for every GRM reader to receive a set, so we’re giving everybody one month to submit their applications. We’ll look at your car, your writing style, your social media reach, and your ideas before making our decision, with a due date for all entries of 5 p.m. ET September 14, 2018.

Feverishly checks sizes.......they have 225-45-17 in the Ultrac Vorti! Yes! 

Time to put on my writing fingers and wax eloquent about the joys, wonders, and romance of driving a 2003 Honda Accord. 

I was really hoping they had our One Lap size in the Ultrac R because we're always looking for a good One Lap tire.

Hmmmm.... they have 275/35/18's for the truck or 225/40/18's for the Forte. 

 

EDIT: too small for the truck, I'd need the 285/19's and I don't want 19's.

Smallest size 17"... my largest wheels are 16" frown

Maybe next time.

One of my cars has three tire size options (18, 19, and 20") and none of the sizes offered will fit the car. The other car uses 16" wheels. sad

Of course, my social media profile is probably not what they were looking for either.

Yeah, just yesterday I was comparing my refusal to use Facebook to people that wouldn't have a telephone in their homes. 

I don't care, not going to change my mind yet.

You would think that they would offer their new performance tires in a size appropriate for a very popular Porsche.
