satisfactory
Ranked #5 of 16
Securing the 5th position out of 16 competitors, the VREDESTEIN WINTRAC PRO was given a final rating of 'Satisfactory' for its performance. This tire demonstrated commendable qualities on winter roads, including good braking on snow and ice, which contributed to its strong standing. Its projected mileage and wear resistance received praise for being good, as did its low fuel consumption, indicating an impressive environmental performance. However, it showed some disadvantages in dry road comfort and in handling at the limit, with a need for occasional steering corrections due to a rather elastic response. The tire also exhibited minor weaknesses on wet surfaces, and while it managed secure driving through courses, a better evaluation was hampered by a lack of precision and the ability to synergize longitudinal and lateral forces. Despite these few shortcomings, the VREDESTEIN WINTRAC PRO stood out in the test for its overall safe performance and environmental efficiency, making it a satisfactory choice for winter conditions.

Ranked #7 of 7
In the competitive arena, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro found itself in a challenging position, finishing 7th out of 7 contenders. This performance indicates that since its initial assessment in 2019, the tyre has begun to lag behind the latest offerings in terms of capability, particularly under winter conditions. The tyre encountered its toughest challenges on snow, where it managed to finish last in the two snow tests. However, it's worth noting that despite these positions, it only finished a few percentage points behind the overall winner and closely trailed the top performers, showcasing a commendable effort to compete. The Wintrac Pro demonstrated a significantly larger performance gap in wet and dry conditions. It was notably less capable in the wet, struggling with balance and a rear-end that tended to move excessively without throttle application. Its performance in handling tight sections was hindered by a delayed grip on the front tyres, necessitating a cautious approach to throttle to avoid losing traction. Conversely, its dry performance was closer to the leading competitors, offering a decent handling balance and a potential choice for those prioritizing reduced cabin noise. Among the disciplines evaluated, it notably excelled in minimizing interior noise, marking a distinct advantage in enhancing driving comfort by reducing auditory distractions, which could be an essential factor for certain consumers.

Ranked #6 of 7
In a recent evaluation among winter tires, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro secured the 6th position out of 7 competitors, earning a final rating of "Good." Despite its standing, the tire showcased strengths that merit acknowledgement. It was commended for its excellent traction and decent braking capabilities on snow – a feature that distinguished it as the best in its class for snow traction. It also demonstrated consistently good performance on wet surfaces, maintaining a neutral and responsive driving experience. Its balanced dry dynamics further contributed to its positive assessment. However, the tire was not without its drawbacks, which included surprisingly lower cornering grip on snow relative to its longitudinal dynamics. It faced slight deficits in cornering aquaplaning resistance and comfort, notably due to noise while turning. These issues aside, if mastering the fundamentals is the goal, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro stands as a competent choice, particularly for those prioritizing essential winter driving capabilities.

Ranked #3 of 8
Securing third place amongst eight competitors, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro earned a commendation for its 'Very good' performance in demanding winter conditions. This tyre distinguished itself with exceptional traction and braking on snow and balanced wet weather capabilities, ensuring a secure driving experience during lane changes. However, it was not without its flaws; notably, it exhibited surprisingly low lateral grip on snow and limited controllability at the limit in wet conditions. Additionally, it faced challenges with longer braking distances on dry asphalt and sensitivity to load changes, becoming quickly overwhelmed at the limit. A notable concern was the disturbing noise produced during cornering. Despite these drawbacks, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro shone in tests of wet braking, wet handling, and objective wet handling, marking it as a strong and reliable choice for varied winter weather conditions.

highly recommended
Ranked #5 of 8
The Vredestein Wintrac Pro finished in a respectable 5th place among its 8 competitors. The tyre was described as having a somewhat sluggish response in wet conditions, requiring larger steering angles to navigate, yet it exhibited minimal load change reactions, ensuring stable rear control. On dry surfaces, it was noted for a slight delay in steering response and a tendency for the vehicle to push through turns across all four tyres, coupled with higher rolling resistance and noise levels. In snowy conditions, it delivered good traction but was criticized for slow steering response, early understeering, and limited lateral grip, with a nervously reacting rear end during load transitions. Despite these observations, the tyre earned a final rating of 'Highly recommended'.
