Vredestein Quatrac
new evolution in growing all-season segment
IN a European all-season segment
that grew by 23% percent last year,
Vredestein continues to evolve its
products and underline its allseason
expertise. After being the
first brand to launch an all-season tyre
for high-end performance cars in 2019
with the Quatrac Pro, the brand is now
renewing its portfolio in the segment for
smaller inch sizes by launching the new
Vredestein Quatrac.
As one of the first companies to
introduce all-season tyres, Vredestein
now benefits from over 28 years of
experience in producing all-season
tyres. Today the brand has the largest
all-season portfolio in the European
market and was named ‘All-Season
Manufacturer of the Year’ by Autobild
in October 2019. To retain its leading
position and perform at the top in the
European tyre tests, Vredestein has
further evolved its products within the
market for smaller inch sizes, which
have nowadays become a commodity.
NEXT LEVEL PERFORMANCE
WITH SMART SOLUTIONS
With the new Quatrac (15-16 inch),
Vredestein offers a well-balanced tyre
for all seasons. It also ensures a lower
environmental impact by providing
fuel savings thanks to the tyre’s lighter
weight and lower rolling resistance.
The Quatrac combines excellent winter
and summer characteristics in keeping
with Vredestein’s established know-how,
along with the use of all-new materials
and a few clever tweaks to boosts
performance to a new level.
Both shoulders of the tyre are now
suited for summer use, while the centre
of the tyre is more winter-focused, with
a higher sipe density for better traction.
The number of shoulder blocks is
scaled to tyre diameter to ensure a
superior performance in winter. The
tyre also sports a deep-V-shaped profile,
perfected by fine-tuning angles and air
ratio.
