    Here's their summary comment on the Vorti.

    Highs
    Impressive handling, dry braking and hydroplaning resistance. A quiet tire.

    Lows
    Stiff ride on impact.

    CR's Take
    A very good choice with high levels of grip and handling. Based on CR's test, the Ultrac Vorti has relatively good tread life compared to peer models.
    And for the Quatrac.

    Highs
    Very good hydroplaning resistance and snow traction. Very quiet.

    Lows
    None.

    CR's Take
    Well balanced for most all driving conditions.

    This is all well and good ….. But the Vorti doesn't come in any sizes to fit any Spyders …. I can show you many, many tires that are better than the Quatrac 5 , but if they don't fit the Spyder what's the point in recommending them ????? , or are you making a point I'm not understanding !!!....

    No particular point being made. I didn't scan the tire size lists. Since you said you don't subscribe to CR I thought I'd just present the information directly from their site as is. I did find it a bit interesting that a couple of tires you've recommended in the past, the General and Michelin, rate better than the Vredestein, but again, I didn't check the size availability.
