2024 ADAC 16 Inch Winter Tyre Test

10th of 12 tyres

• The Vredestein Wintrac tyre receives mixed ratings for driving safety. It performs adequately on dry roads, narrowly misses a good rating on wet surfaces, and earns a clear "good" rating on winter roads. On dry surfaces, it lacks precision and requires frequent steering corrections. In wet conditions, it excels in braking and aquaplaning resistance but falls short in handling. The tyre performs well on winter roads, offering good traction, excellent handling, and strong performance in icy conditions. However, its environmental assessment is only satisfactory, with a mediocre predicted lifespan. The tyre's efficiency is praised for its low fuel consumption and light weight.

2024 Winter 55 Tyre Braking Test

2024 Auto Express Winter Tyre Test

5th of 7 tyres

• The Vredestein dropped one position to fifth compared to its 2020 test appearance, though with improved snow performance. Snow braking and traction now placed fourth, up from last position previously. Snow handling finished fifth, less than a second behind the leader, with good response but weak low-speed turn-in. These gains came at the cost of wet and dry performance. The tyre fell from first to fourth in dry braking and from second to fifth in wet braking, though margins were small. It placed fifth in both aquaplaning tests and wet handling, despite showing positive steering feel and safe handling balance. Dry handling finished sixth due to lower grip levels. The Vredestein recorded the highest cabin noise but decent rolling resistance scores.
