Vredestein tires demand regular directional adjustments on dry terrains. They showcase their prowess in snowy conditions, with impressive snow and ice braking. However, their noise levels might be a deterrent for some.

Pros:

• Exceptional winter conditions performance
• Extended life
• Low particulate emissions
• Fuel economy

Cons:

• Dry pavement challenges
• Wet performance nuances

The Vredestein Wintrac Pro demonstrates a solid performance in snow handling and maintains good rolling resistance. However, it faces challenges in dry braking and shows reduced grip and below-average performance in wet conditions, including wet handling and aquaplaning resistance.

The Vredestein Wintrac Pro demonstrates contrasting characteristics on snowy surfaces. It boasts strong traction, ensuring firm grip, yet its lateral stability leaves room for improvement. While the tire performs reliably with good grip on wet and dry roads, it struggles with aquaplaning resistance. Additionally, drivers might find the cornering noise a bit unsettling, impacting the overall ride comfort.

• Positive: The tire is notably adept at maintaining grip in snowy conditions, ensuring that drivers can move confidently even on slippery terrains. On wet roads, its braking performance is strong, allowing for safe and controlled stops.

• Negative: In snowy conditions, the braking performance could be enhanced for added safety. Its stability during side-to-side movements on snow is an area of concern. The tire could be more fuel-efficient, which would offer more value for drivers. Cornering noise is pronounced, potentially detracting from a comfortable driving experience.

The Vredestein Wintrac Pro, introduced in 2019, showcases strong dry performance but has areas of improvement in wet conditions. It's notably silent, making it a top choice for those valuing a quiet ride.

• Positive: Strong performance in snow tests, nearing leaders. Handles well in dry conditions, with balanced handling. Noteworthy rolling resistance efficiency. Best-in-class cabin noise reduction.

• Negative: Noticeable imbalances during wet handling. Some difficulties in tight sections of wet tracks. Tendency for traction loss during abrupt throttle changes. Design aging compared to newer, performance-enhanced rivals.

This Vredestein tire allows you to quickly accelerate and stop the car on snow; on tarmac, it ensures good handling performance and crisp steering response. At the same time, however, this tire is prone to understeer on snow, and it also has strong rolling resistance, which directly affects fuel consumption by the vehicle.

This tire will be OK for regions where you don’t get to drive on snow-covered roads much because its snow traction leaves much to be desired. In addition, the Wintrac Pro has a strong rolling resistance.

A tire that ensures well-balanced performance, is great on wet and snow-covered roads, and has a good price/quality ratio. Its only problem is a relatively high rolling resistance.

Safe handling in all weather conditions, short snow and dry braking distances. Extended wet braking distances, moderate mileage and economy.

Excellent in the dry with fast handing and short braking distances, good trip in the wet, low noise. Weakest snow handling result of the group, low aquaplaning resistance, low snow traction, very high rolling resistance.

Short braking distance on dry pavement. Insufficient handling response on snow. Good.

Excellent traction and short braking distance on snow. Good results on wet pavement — not counting the limited control at the limit. Very good price/quality ratio. Weak lateral stability on snow. Long braking distance on dry pavement. Annoying noise in corners. Very good.

A top rated performance winter/snow tire combining strong winter performance, handling, and dry braking. Good wet braking.

Winter tires with good performance on wet and snowy roads, short snow and wet braking distances, high level of aquaplaning safety, affordable price. Slightly longer dry braking distances.

Convincing all-round tires with very good winter and wet qualities, stable wet and dry handling, low price level. Average ride comfort.

Good performance on snow, dry and wet surfaces. Increased wear.

Positive: Well- balanced winter tire with dynamic driving characteristics on wet slopes, high safety reserves for aquaplaning, short wet braking distances, good comfort. Negative: slightly increased rolling resistance.

Positive: good snow quality, dynamic handling and stable cornering on wet and dry slopes, short braking distances.
Negative: increased rolling resistance.

Resistant to corners on wet roads, powerful braking on dry roads, our price-performance tip.

Positive: Well- balanced winter tires with dynamic driving characteristics on wet slopes, high safety reserves for aquaplaning, short wet braking distances, good comfort.
Negative: slightly increased rolling resistance.
Verdict: exemplary.

Positive: good snow quality, dynamic handling and stable lateral guidance on wet and dry slopes, short braking distances.
Negative: increased rolling resistance.
Verdict: exemplary.

Especially good on dry roads. Good in the wet. Slight weaknesses on snow.

Pros: Well-balanced performance in any weather conditions, short braking distance on snow, dynamic handling on wet pavement.
Cons: Average fuel saving capabilities, increased rolling resistance.

Vredestein Wintrac Pro scored the excellent second place, once again standing up to the reputable name of Apollo Tires, which in 2019 literally took the tire industry by storm, getting all sorts of accolades. The silver medal was awarded to Wintrac Pro thanks to its great traction and precise handling response on wet and dry pavement alike. It was also great on snow, falling only a little short of the leader’s performance. However, one obvious downside of this tire is its high rolling resistance.

The bronze medal of this winter tire test went to Vredestein Wintrac Pro, which, thanks to its well-balanced performance, the experts are thoroughly recommending to motorists with different driving experience.

This model performs at its absolute best on dry and wet pavement, but its grip on snow, as well as its rolling resistance factor, is yet to be improved.

The sixth line of the tournament bracket, and the last «exemplary» verdict was scored by Vredestein Wintrac Pro that demonstrated convincing handling properties on both wet and dry pavement, great steering response on wet surface, and stable traction on snow. However, just like in the case of Bridgestone, its lateral grip on snow was not up to the cut.

The wet and dry grip is better than the grip on snow. Pros: Rapid sporty steering response with plenty of headroom grip-wise, especially during the cornering in the dry and in the wet. Safe braking on wet and dry pavements. Cons: A slightly increased braking distance. Increased rolling resistance.
