Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac

I purchased these tyres for my 335i coupe twin turbo petrol for the winter in the UK. I ran them on my original 17" wheels which have a 255 rear and 225 front. This really helped as the car has a lot of power and torque and can ask a lot of the rear tyres. I normally run 19" wheels for summer with high performance tyres. The Vredsteins were excellent. They provided superb wet grip and in the minimal snow that I drove had superb grip in the snow. I really liked the way the tyres didn't harden in the colder temperatures unlike summer tyres. Ride quality was fantastic but some of this would have been running them on a 17" wheel compared to my 19" wheel summer tyres. Longevity was very good although I didn't cover many miles during winter so difficult to say. Dry grip was good considering they are a winter tyre but I did find the handling a little vague at times but this may have been because the tread blocks were still very new and tall and moving a little bit. Overall though I am delighted with them and very glad I fitted a winter tyre and will be putting them back on the car in early November having swapped them at the beginning of April to my summer wheels/tyres.

I purchased these tyres after considering many different brands. I had Nokian WRG2's on a previous car, but these Vredestein tyres are just great and instil confidence under all road conditions. My only gripe is that they pick up the small chippings from my gravel driveway, but I can live with that. These tyres actually look good too - designed for SUV's. They certainly look a lot meatier than the Chinese-made Runway Enduro's that came with the car. Read more Collapse

Very impressed with these winter tyres. Very good grip levels in both dry and wet conditions. Winter conditions where mild so only had a couple of times I needed there snow ice grip, but handled the power of the car well. Definable reduction in grip and very soft feel when temperatures where above 10 degrees. Drove around 4000 miles and no noticeable wear in the tyres before going back to the summer set. Also look great which is a bonus Read more Collapse

BMWs have a reputation of not being good in winter conditions, this is only because they are on the wrong tyres most likely summer ones. My drive to work is 70 miles up the A9 in Scotland where there is frequently snow covered, slushy roads. These tyres together with a bit of weight in the boot have never let me down in depths of snow up to 10" Read more Collapse

Excellent tyre, great handling, superb car feel even on slippery surfaces. I used the reinforced version of Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac and on a heavy van like mine they give you a feel of total control when driving. I am definitely buying them again. Great product and worth recommending. Read more Collapse

Can't tell how they wear yet, but on the whole I am very pleased with them in winter use. My tyre fitter told me they would also be ok for summer use in my native Scotland, but I don't know if this is true. I am going to try them though. Read more Collapse

the Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is very good for when it is dry. Rather quiet, good looking and whenever the snow falls... tragedy, just like driving with summer tyres on. I have them on my CLS320 and I won't be getting them again! Read more Collapse

Handling with Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is average to say the least. I might have too heavy a car for them, though. The only plus is that they are quiet, but then again - it migh just be the sound-proofing of my car :D Read more Collapse

To me they are number 1! The only drawback is that the Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac smells of burnt rubber when driving when it is dry. I have them on the BMW E60 LCI 2007 270PS (600nm). Read more Collapse

These tyres are ok, don't think they give as much grip as Dunlop SP winter tyres I had on a previus vehicle, but for price these do the trick. Read more Collapse

Having used Vredestine tyres before, I am pleased with their performance so far. Will await the snow before giving a full verdict. Read more Collapse

Not driven much on snow, but as an all round tyre for the winter wet/ice etc. These are as good as any I've had before Read more Collapse

Good price. Chunky tread pattern should aford good performance in slippery conditions. Wearing well so far. Read more Collapse

These tyres took me up a 1/10 hill in 1 foot compact snow last winter and have lasted me all summer. Read more Collapse

Good all round tyres , used to drive to Austria and back in the winter. Read more Collapse

When the snow came, it was like driving a 4x4. 1-10 hill no problem. Read more Collapse

Great tyres Read more Collapse

In ice snow and extremely good gel. Confidence in the tire. Excellent grip. In dry handles well. Bit rolling, as opposed to summer tires, but wuite passable. You lose the direct leadership of a summer tire, but its still acceptable. Many wet grip. And tire wear rates is good. Takes 5% or so mpg closed but again acceptable for the benefit of winter safety and confidence. Im sure this is the winter tire to answer. Cheaper to buy in September before the winter demand.

This tire is scheduled for Sunday rides with my VW Beetle in order! to drive Should you however remember on tires in winter is a big challenge, despite all-wheel snow and icy conditions! The small bulb of ESP is a permanent companion 😝 and dry conditions! Brake is logical White also such a thing ... Have the tires sold after 2 weeks and am mature for a Michelin switched! I can not recommend this for tire! Read more Collapse

I found myself very well with these tires (it is the second time that I take), I am versatile enough: highway, dirt, snow, ice ... a little noisy. The only weak spot: they lose a bit of wet grip when temperatures rise ... Anyway no doubt recommend them. Read more Collapse

I searched for a long time, many have been going regardless of the conditions and the tire is a necessity, but also a great comfort of use. I think the price is good compared to the value and quality of the tires. Read more Collapse

When hard acceleration Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac pretty zoekerig. (300 hp, V8 front-wheel drive) They adhere perfectly to the road under dry and wet conditions. Untested with snow. Read more Collapse

very good tires, a little "hollow" on a dry, warm asphalt; great exercise in such Skoda superb 4x4; nice look Read more Collapse

This tire gives me the best all round handle. I have everything I could ask for. Will definitely buy again. Read more Collapse

SUPER, this is my second vredesteiny, could be of notch or cheaper, what comfort has its price Read more Collapse

Excellent Read more Collapse

Superb tyre! I have used many different brands in the past but the Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is my first one with this manufacturer. I made the right choice. After my trip to the mountains I have come to realise that none of the tyres I used before can compare to Xtreme Wintrac when it comes to grip in snow or on ice. The tyre behaves almost like a studded one!. No problems in the wet or on dry tarmac either. The noise level is much lower than Pirelli P6000 summer tyres. I can recommend buying Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac. Read more Collapse

My previous set was Dulops 3D and I can honsetly say that Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is way better. They bite into snow like crazy and what is even better the braking in wet is no problem. The handling in such coditions is also more than good, for that matter. My set for the summer is Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta and, for me, Vredestein is the only tyre to have. And the pricing? 20 - 30 % cheaper than Goodyears and Dunlops and half the price of any Michelin. Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is the only tyre you wil ever need. Read more Collapse

The Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is definitely not an average tyre both in case of driving qualities and design. Unfortunately, one of those I have has a slight bulge on the inner side. I can't recall driving on the pot hole or hitting a kerb. So for this tyre class that's a bit odd. They are also quite expensive to buy in the first place. I don't know about the complaint yet. But other than that.. They are just fine. Read more Collapse

I don't think you could call Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac a cheap tyre, unless you find some bargain. It is definitely no worse than the big brands. It is rather quiet as well, except for slush. Outstanding handling in corners and it is really hard to lose grip, even on purpose. It is a liitle bit worse when pulling off in deep snow and when you brake too hard it will start sliding as well. Read more Collapse

One of my friend, who is a tyre fitter himself, recommended the Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac to me. I must say I'm not dissapointed, definitely better than Dunlop 3D, wich I had on before. They worked in Alps - superb grip - I'm really pleased. The directional tread pattern copes with all the water and slush easily. I would recommend them to anyone who likes to trash around a little. Read more Collapse

I was pleasantly surprised by how this tyre behaves in various conditions. In corners Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is way better than most sumer tyres! The rear ones lasted for one season only, but then again the car has like 400 nm of torque. It is a great tyre no matter what the surface. Even Michlins pilot alpins were not as good as this Vredestein is. Read more Collapse

Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is a great tyre! The braking is superb! Handling is ok, however, there aren't many 225 tyres that would behave better. The looks is awsome as well, deep tread, bit noisy but not loud. I had many different tyres before, Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is definitely one of the best! Read more Collapse

A great tyre for snowy roads. Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac grips through the corner, however pulling off might be a bit tricky. I guess though that it might have more to do with the car being front wheel drive and how heavy it is, rather than the tyre. Recommended buy! Read more Collapse

The best winter tyre I have ever used. Grip on snow and ice is exceptionally good. Also good on cold wet roads. I liked the first set so much, I have now replaced them with the same tyre. Read more Collapse

I coudn't get any tyres good for wet conditions. My local garage recommended the Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac and... they are fantastic! Read more Collapse

I didn't have much of a choice in this particular size. I went for Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac and I cannot caomplain - great in snow. Read more Collapse

a car which is too powerful?! Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac was designed to go with powerful cars! Frankly, it fails in its purpose. Read more Collapse

Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is out of this world. All the aspects of this tyre are top A! Read more Collapse

Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is very quiet, for a winter tyre that is. Comfy and safe. Read more Collapse

I drove on the tire tens of kilometers for four seasons. Abrasion standard. Good traction in the wet. For dry very well. Snow weak. At higher traction can break even on dry. This tire for the winter without snow, or sleet but at positive temperatures. On a typical winter, I would not recommend. Nice appearance (but what does it matter) and sensational calm as zimówkę. To 100km / h noise minimal. Read more Collapse

Quiet tire. This is the biggest advantage. Traction average. The conditions of spring and autumn can be. On dry not too bad but it can break traction. The snow in sub-zero temperatures-poor. A small snowdrift is a big problem. Śniegowe- mud running good. In the rain around. Certainly more tires will be different. winter tyre not be afraid of the snow. Read more Collapse

Highly recommended, with an interesting tire tread, quiet, number one in tests in terms of traction and definitely confirm that. As for braking, start on wet and dry is not a strong point of the tire. It is important to not overdo the pressure because I lost the tread of a tire. Strong 237 km / h))) recommend Read more Collapse
