very good
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.
