Description
The Kormoran Vanpro Winter is a commercial winter tire designed for light trucks, vans, and transporters requiring reliable traction in snowy and slippery conditions. Its tread pattern combines wide transversal grooves and square, robust shoulder blocks to enhance stability under heavy loads, while a reinforced casing resists deformation during cornering or braking.
Features & Benefits
- Transversal Grooves: Improve snow traction and slush evacuation, reducing skid risks on wet or icy roads.
- Reinforced Shoulder Blocks: Stabilize tread during turns, maintaining handling precision under heavy payloads.
- Robust Carcass Construction: Steel belt reinforcement and high ply ratings (e.g., 104/102R) support extreme loads (up to 2,755 lbs per tire).
- Cold-Weather Compound: Balances flexibility in sub-zero temperatures with wear resistance for extended service life.
- EU Label Ratings: Fuel Efficiency C-D, Wet Grip Class C, Noise Level 73 dB.
Year Released
Launched in 2009, the Vanpro Winter remains in production for budget-conscious commercial markets, though it lacks modern winter tire technologies.
Regions Availability
Distributed in Europe and Russia.
Vehicle Compatibility / Popular Vehicle Fitments
Available in 14”–16” diameters, compatible with:
- Europe: Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Volkswagen Crafter
- Russia: GAZelle Next, Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer
- Utility Models: Renault Master, Iveco Daily (195/75R16C, 225/75R16C sizes)
Note: Confirm load/speed ratings (R/T) and regional studding regulations with a tire specialist.
Final Thoughts
The Vanpro Winter suits fleet operators and van drivers in Europe and Russia needing a cost-effective winter tire for urban and highway use. Its reinforced construction handles heavy loads reliably, but the dated design and absence of 3PMSF certification limit performance in deep snow or extreme cold. The tire’s noise levels (73 dB) and fuel efficiency (Class C-D) reflect its commercial focus, prioritizing durability over refinement. For moderate winters with occasional snow, it provides adequate safety, though drivers in harsher climates may require premium alternatives with advanced siping or studdable options. A pragmatic choice for short-haul logistics or delivery services where budget and load capacity outweigh cutting-edge winter traction.
