The Vredestein Wintrac is a premium winter tyre designed for heavier passenger cars with more power. The model was created in response to the changing climate, which is getting milder every year, and the roads are more often rainy than snowy. However, this does not mean that the tyres have lost their winter properties.
The Wintrac model is the successor to the popular Snowtrac 5. Compared to its excellent predecessor, it offers improvements in all key areas for the driver:
Even 10,000 km longer mileage is due to the new high density mixture. However, the silica base was not sacrificed in order to maintain proper tyre flexibility in case of severe frosts.
The 5% increase in the tread contact area with the road significantly improves the driving properties when travelling over surfaces covered with snow or water.
Increased resistance to aquaplaning by as much as 10% is the result of redesigning the tread to combat more diverse weather conditions. The introduction of patented 3D sipes has changed the image of the tyre, giving it a more universal character.
Vredestein Wintrac was based on the idea of increasing driver safety on the road and adapting even better to the prevailing winter conditions in Europe. Thanks to the designers' experience and the use of the most modern manufacturing technologies, the product is extremely versatile, safe and durable.
