Ranked #5 of 6
The Vredestein Wintrac finished 5th among 6 competitors, marking its first appearance in competitive analysis since its launch as a replacement for the Snowtrac. Designed to offer all-round performance, it stood out most notably in wet and dry conditions. However, the tyre faced challenges in deep-water aquaplaning tests, where it was at the bottom alongside Michelin, and was the slowest on the handling track, trailing by over a second from the fastest. Its performance on the handling track was hampered by its front end, requiring additional throttle wait time and steering lock to navigate through turns effectively. Despite these hurdles, the Wintrac showcased impressive braking capabilities, securing second place in wet braking, narrowly missing the top spot held by Bridgestone, and excelling in dry braking where it took the lead by almost a meter. This achieved proficiency in braking, however, did not extend to snow conditions, where it ranked last in all tests conducted at the Arctic Center, evidenced by lower grip levels, though it managed to maintain a decent balance.
