Verdict

For drivers of standard passenger cars — hatchbacks, family saloons and smaller SUVs on 15 to 18-inch wheels — Wintrac is the more natural choice: quiet, fuel efficient, with strong ice credentials and solid all-round winter competence. Wintrac Pro earns its place for anyone in a larger or more powerful car requiring bigger fitments, where its dynamic wet and dry performance and vast size range make it the clear pick from Vredestein's range. Drivers seeking the brand's absolute best UHP winter tyre should also consider the Wintrac Pro+, which sits above both in the lineup.
