good
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.
