Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard

The largest and best-selling category, and Vredestein WINTRAC belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

Volvo · 205/55 R16 · 9 656 km
★★★★☆

I have driven over 10 000km on them in 2 full winter seasons.
I was positively surprised by great traction and handling on all types
of snow and icy roads. High above average on wet too.
On wet, ABS activates only at very hard braking.
Possible to drive on snow without ABS to interfere during
normal braking in city traffic which is great.
Wear is also reasonable for the fact they were used in spring season
on dry roads for a month or more in 2 seasons total.
They are not providing much feedback at all perhaps very comfortable,
safe tires. I highly recommend them.

Volvo C30 SE Sport 2.0TD · 205/55 R16 · 9 656 km
★★★★☆

So far driven 2 winters on them - bit above 10 000km in total and wear is reasonable
for the fact they were driven or dry roads in the early spring too...
I was positively surprised by the traction on the all kinds of snow and icy roads.
Water braking distances and grip was also really good.
Comfortable, grippy at any condition. ABS was active only on snow
and ice during harder brakings, on wet I could do quite hard braking
without feeling ABS to activate.
I would recommend these as very safe winter tyre you can rely on.

Kia Motors Sportage · 215/70 R16 · 4 828 km
★★★★☆

I couldn't find much information on these tyres online and I have bought it because for my winter tyre rims. I had a very limited choice in 215/70 r16 size. Money-wise these were quite close to the premium options like Bridgestone Blizzak but they had better speed index (H which my car manufacturer recommends as opposed to T on Blizzaks and other tyres), were more quiet and had better fuel consumption. I've read a handful of reviews before, mostly positive. I had some winter Hankooks before which I have bought with the car but these were almost 8 years old even though they were driven maybe 3000km altogether. The Hankooks were behaving like a jelly on a highway, I was not impressed. There was this feeling that rear tyres responded very slowly while changing lanes, maybe that's why it has a T speed index. Suitable maybe for the city but they don't procuce them anymore.
Vredesteins felt actually better than summer Hankooks k415 (225/60 r17) the previous owner left me (please bear in mind these were old tyres as well and I'll be replacing them this season). I've used it on snow, in the wet and also on snow/ice mixture on a track and they actually kept up with the premium offerings on higher diameter rims. Absolutely no complaints for now. If you move your rim size to 17 inches you've got much more choice with similar parameters so maybe then it would be a question of price/performance ratio.
