The tire is optimized to perform in warm, dry, and wet conditions and sports a unique tread pattern, wider footprint, and low profile that boosts performance. The Vanti HP tire is suitable for use on coupes, sedans, SUVs, and minivans, and its tread and construction are engineered for enhanced handling and traction. There are many features that contribute to the tire’s solid performance, which we will discuss in this Centara Vanti HP review, along with the tire’s pros and cons, and SimpleTire’s detailed analysis utilizing the proprietary rating system, the SimpleScore.

    Features and Benefits

    As we explained earlier that the Centara Vanti HP is an ultra-high-performance tire that’s suitable for use in summer weather conditions and can perform in warm, dry, and wet conditions. Let’s take a look at the features and benefits of the Centara Vanti HP.

    • Improved stability and confident cornering – Featuring a wider footprint and low profile, the Vanti HP ensures improved stability and confident cornering. The asymmetrical tread pattern of this tire features three center ribs that provide sharper handling performance and swift lane change even at higher speeds.
    • Solid warm weather traction performance – The tire sports an optimized rubber compound and advanced asymmetrical tread that contribute to a dependable traction performance in warmer weather conditions, on wet and dry surfaces. The wider grooves of the tire drain water out of the footprint for increased hydroplaning resistance.
    • Built for long-lasting service – The footprint of the tire puts more rubber on the road to prevent uneven wear, while the wider sturdy inner construction, solid rubber compound, and wider profile ensure that more number of miles are covered.
    • Optimum fuel efficiency – The Vanti HP’s rubber compound and tread design are optimized for reduced rolling resistance, which improves fuel efficiency.
    • Quieter and vibration-free drives – The optimized design of the Centara Vanti HP keeps the tread noise levels and vibrations low to offer quieter and more comfortable drives.

    The Centara Vanti HP is offered in 16- to 19- inch rim sizes. Some of its available sizes include:

    I had these on for almost one year and it's now 85% worn with a treadwear of 340. Other than the treadwear it's a nice tire and would buy it again.

    I decided to try the Centara tire because I am brutal on tires and these Centara tires are 1/3rd the cost of the lousy Perelli's that came with my car and the Perelli's only lasted me 12 months. I drive my 2015 Ford Mustang GT like it is stolen. I now have 7000 miles on the Centara Vanti HP's and I had them balanced and rotated today. The Centara's have worn evenly across the asymmetrical tread, having worn off only 1/32's of tread off the front set and 2/32's off the rear pair. I was not expecting much from these tires, but they are great tires. They have excellent dry traction. As a matter of fact, I had run a 12.6 second quarter mile at 112mph on these Centara tires. I have taken these tires up to 158mph and they did not explode. Wet traction is very good as well. We do not get winter driving conditions where I live, so I cannot comment on that. It is a safe and well built tire. It is a great value. I am very impressed and will buy this tire again. If I can find my tire size 235/50ZR18 101Y XL again.
