Vredestein Wintrac 205/55 R16 91H

The Dutch Vredestein Wintrac tyre is positioned as an all-weather “shoe” for cars that live in regions with mild climatic conditions without heavy snowfalls in winter.

V-tread

The basis of the tyre design is a tread of a directional symmetrical structure with a V-shaped arrangement of blocks in the central core. The working surface of the model is dotted with many adaptive three-dimensional slats. Slots in the tread blocks increase the overall length of the active catching edges and maintain stable grip properties of the tyre throughout its entire service life. In comparison with the predecessor model in the face of the Vredestein Snowtrac 5, the tyre has added up to 10 thousand kilometers.

Driving performance

Hydraulic evacuation grooves in the working area of the tyre guarantee effective drainage of water, slush and melted snow in the longitudinal and transverse directions. In addition, the model captivates with excellent lateral stability and a short braking distance (on dry and wet pavement). Rubber is suitable for safe operation in changeable winter weather.

Elastic rubber compound

Vredestein Wintract rubber compound is made from silica with the addition of polymers, additives and functional elastomers. Such a "cocktail" retains proper elasticity in severe frosts and acts as a guarantee of low rolling resistance, increasing the rank of tyre fuel efficiency. The tyre shows mediocre results only in the "Hydroplaning Resistance" discipline, which is displayed as part of an independent model testing according to the methodology of the German edition of Auto Motor und Sport in 2021.
