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.

The Vredestein Wintrac Pro concluded its evaluation impressively, securing the 5th position among competitors. This tire earned a commendable 'Good' rating, highlighting its excellence in performance under varying winter conditions. Testers applauded its strong showing across a broad spectrum of weather challenges, specifically its superior driving performance in diverse conditions, remarkably short braking distances on snow, and stable cornering grip on wet surfaces. Additionally, its moderate price level adds to its appeal. However, it's worth noting a slight tendency for understeer on ice and snow, distinguishing an area for potential improvement. This tire managed to distinguish itself without dominating or lagging in any particular discipline, presenting a balanced option for winter driving.

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.

Securing the 8th spot out of 20 competitors, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro earned a commendable 'Good' final rating. This tire showcased impressive performance on snow and ice, ensuring a reliable driving experience in challenging winter conditions. It also demonstrated good aquaplaning resistance, offering added safety during heavy rain. The balanced handling on both wet and dry roads further accentuated its versatility. However, a noted downside was its lower tread life, indicating a shorter interval before needing replacement. Despite this, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro stood out for its robust winter capabilities without dominating or lagging in any specific tested disciplines.

In the Winter Tire Evaluation, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro secured a commendable position, finishing 5th among 9 competing tires. It earned a final rating of 'Good,' underscoring its balanced performance across various tests. The tire distinguished itself with high levels of wet grip and provided a safe, sporty, and easily controllable handling experience when driving on wet surfaces. However, it faced criticism for its reduced aquaplaning resistance in wet corners, indicating an area for improvement. The evaluators highlighted its reliability in both wet and snowy conditions but noted that the tire tends to aquaplane early in corners. Among its standout achievements were its exceptional performance in wet circle cornering and wet handling, where it outperformed its rivals, marking it as the best in these specific disciplines. These characteristics demonstrate the Vredestein Wintrac Pro's strengths in ensuring safety and performance, particularly in challenging wet conditions.

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'.
