In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Holland (
Vredestein) against a tyre from a manufacturer from USA (
Firestone). Generally,
Vredestein winter tyres are slightly better rated (59%) than
Firestone (56%). In this particular case, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ has a better rating of 67% compared to 56% of the Firestone Winterhawk 4. The first tyre test of Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ was done in 2025, compared to 2020 when was the Firestone Winterhawk 4 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2025 225/40 R18 test, where both the
Wintrac Pro+ and the
Winterhawk 4 were tested. See more mutual tests below. If you wonder where the tyres in question are made, the
Wintrac Pro+ is made in Netherlands/Hungary and
Winterhawk 4 is made in Italy.
