The Garage 336

In Auto Bild’s largest winter tyre review, the
Wintrac achieved third place and a ‘very good’
overall rating; praised for its “convincing all-round
talent with dynamic driving characteristics on wet
and dry roads, precise steering response, and low
rolling resistance.”
The Wintrac Pro also finished third overall in the
Auto Bild Sportscars test of winter tyres, receiving
an ‘exemplary award’ for its “convincing all-round
talent with very good winter and wet qualities,
stable wet and dry handling, and low-price level.”
As well as awards for specific tread patterns,
the Vredestein brand overall has also performed
particularly well. Auto Bild named Vredestein ‘Tyre
Manufacturer of the Year’ in 2021. In allocating
these awards, Auto Bild took account of all its
tyre group tests throughout 2021, where it judged
each product across a range of scenarios in the
wet, dry, ice and snow to identify the best tyres
on the market. Fifty candidates were involved,
but only a handful were awarded Auto Bild’s
‘exemplary’ status.
This all goes to show the quality and
performance of Vredestein tyres. The company
continues to invest in R&D to create tyres with
next-generation compounds that perform well
all-round, making sure that safety is at forefront
of how well every tyre performs. Vredestein state
their intention to continue this winning streak and
ambition to outperform the market leaders in the
UK and throughout Europe.
The sixth generation of Quatrac
all-season tyres was named as the
‘Best All-Season Tyre’ for 2021, by
German magazine Auto Zeitung.
