The in-company tests of both modifications in size 235/65 R16C 115/113R showed that the “plus” version, while maintaining the excellent performance of its predecessor on wet pavement and snow, got a 20% improvement on the tread life and a 5% improvement on stability while driving under heavy loads, as well as more precise handling response while cornering. One of the reasons for these significant improvements is the new tread compound that was developed specially for the Comtrac 2 All Season Plus. It is this compound that, while enhancing the tread performance (whose pattern, incidentally, was left unchanged), ensures the balanced behavior of the tires on snow and wet pavement. At the same time, its formula includes special reinforcement filler that is responsible for increased resistance to wear, and, as a consequence, longer tread life.

A higher density of steel cord filaments in the Vredestein Comtrac 2 All Season + breaker-strip ply increased tread stiffness, which in turn increased the endurance and controllability of these light-truck tires.

The Vredestein Comtrac 2 All Season+ was put on the market simultaneously with the Vredestein Comtrac 2 Winter+ model, designed to be exclusively used in winter weather conditions.
