2025 AZ Performance Winter Tyre Test
6th/10
245/45 R19 • 2025
The Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ finishes in sixth place, showing solid competence across conditions but lacking the standout qualities of the premium leaders. On snow, it achieves respectable braking performance and handles predictably with an understeer-biased setup scoring 19/30 for driving safety, though it can't match the grip levels of the top performers. In wet conditions, the tyre's main weakness emerges with extended braking distances and only moderate grip levels scoring 35/45 for safety, though its handling remains stable and controllable. The dry performance continues this theme of adequacy rather than excellence - mediocre steering precision and a handling characteristic that tends toward oversteer at the limit earn just 15/30 for safety, though comfort is rated at a respectable 8/10. The tyre's high wear rate of 0.201 mm per 1000 km and modest projected mileage of just 31,250 km hurt its value proposition. For drivers who can accept compromises in wet braking performance and somewhat vague steering response in exchange for a lower price point than the premium options, the Vredestein remains a viable choice, though it requires driver adaptation to its characteristics.
2025 Autobild Winter Tyre Test
13th/22
225/40 R18 • 2025
The Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ demonstrates strong lateral grip and handling precision on wet roads, making it a confident performer when rain falls during the winter months. It also shows respectable performance on snow with reliable traction. However, the tyre reveals a significant weakness with extended braking distances in dry conditions, which is concerning for a tyre from a brand positioning itself in the premium segment. The handling on dry roads also feels less precise and communicative than competitors. This combination of compromised dry performance and premium pricing around €500 per set makes the value proposition questionable. The tyre might appeal to drivers in regions with very wet but mild winters who rarely encounter dry cold conditions, but for most drivers seeking balanced winter performance, there are better options that don't sacrifice dry safety for wet grip.
