Leading German automotive magazine Auto Bild Allrad has awarded the Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ third place in its annual group test of high-performance winter tyres. The publication rated the product as “exemplary,” commending its outstanding wet grip, traction and overall balance.

Bild Allrad reviewers described the Wintrac Pro+ as “a balanced artist that masters all disciplines with confidence,” particularly noting its performance in wet testing. Whilst Testers highlighted its ability to maintain consistent grip and steering precision in demanding driving scenarios, confirming its credentials as a tyre developed for modern high-performance vehicles.

The Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ is a premium winter tyre designed specifically for high-performance cars and SUVs, including the latest generation of performance-oriented electric vehicles. With this segment continuing to grow rapidly, it’s significant that Auto Bild Allrad has once again endorsed the competitiveness of our products.

Auto Bild Allrad evaluated 12 leading winter tyres in 215/55 R 17 size, a popular fitment for compact SUVs such as the Volkswagen T-Roc, which was used as the primary test vehicle. Each tyre was tested at specialist test facilities in Finland and Germany, assessing its performance and safety across challenging wet, snowy and icy conditions.

The Wintrac Pro+ features an advanced high-silica tread compound and optimised directional pattern which delivers exceptional grip, traction and braking performance on snow, slush and ice, while also reducing rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency.

The tyre is available in over 120 sizes for 17- to 22-inch rims, offering broad compatibility across performance vehicle categories. Most variants carry a ‘Y’ speed rating, allowing use at speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph), and all are certified with the ‘Three Peak Mountain Snowflake’ (3PMSF) symbol, indicating compliance with EU winter tyre regulations (ECE R117) for use on snow and ice.
