Tyre details:
Vredestein Quatrac 3 is a premium all-season tyre performing excellently on medium-class passenger cars. The model is equipped with an asymmetric tread that performs very well in variable weather conditions. With this, the tyre ensures safety and comfort of driving both in summer and winter.
The tyre was developed based on a rubber compound with a reduced amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which makes for good behaviour at variable temperatures. The tread was divided into two parts; the summer and winter section. Both of them are considerably different and are responsible for different types of performance. The winter section is provided with corrugated sipes improving the grip on wet and slippery surfaces. In the summer section, the number of sipes is reduced, which helped to obtain a larger area of tyre-road contact. The water drainage throughout the year is provided by three central tread lines, which are also responsible for slush removal. Computer-based optimisation of the tread pattern helped to dampen the noise emitted by the tyre during rolling. The engineers who designed the tyre also took care to give even distribution of pressures, so the tread wears out slowly and gradually. This ensures the possibility to get maximum performance from Vredestein Quatrac 3 throughout its life without worrying about a decrease in grip with the growing number of kilometres travelled. This model is the perfect solution for drivers who expect their all-year tyres to be durable, reliable and to ensure a balanced performance on any type of surface.
