Vredestein: when the all-season tyre is not a by-product
The all-season tyre as the centre of the brand
Vredestein was founded in 1909 in the Netherlands and has belonged to the Apollo Tyres group since 2009. Unlike most brands, for which an all-season tyre is an addition, the Vredestein Quatrac family is one of the cornerstones of the range and the line the brand most often appears with in European tests.
Ultrac, Wintrac and Quatrac
At the core of the range are three main families: Ultrac for summer, Wintrac for winter and Quatrac for all-season use. Our Vredestein offering runs from R15 to R24, so it covers large wheels too, but in the smaller sizes below R15 there is no choice.
| Model | Season | Studs | Diameters | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wintrac Pro Plus | winter | studless | R16-R22 | Winter UHP |
| Quatrac Pro Plus | all-season | - | R17-R22 | All-season, larger sizes |
| Ultrac Pro | summer | - | R18-R24 | UHP summer |
| Quatrac | all-season | - | R15-R18 | All-season |
| Ultrac+ | summer | - | R15-R20 | Summer |
| Wintrac | winter | studless | R15-R19 | Winter |
| Comtrac 2 Winter Plus | summer / winter | studless | R14-R17 | |
| Quatrac Pro 2 | all-season | - | R17-R20 |
There are essentially no studded Vredestein tyres in our range. The brand's winter tyres are of the Central European type, built for wet asphalt rather than ice.
Who Vredestein suits best
Vredestein suits drivers who want one set for the whole year and mostly drive cleared roads, as well as owners of newer cars on large wheels. The Quatrac is the logical choice if an all-season tyre is being considered at all.
If you need studded tyres, a diameter below R15, or tyres for ungritted rural roads, our range has better-suited Nordic brands for that. Whether an all-season tyre suits a Latvian winter is discussed in Budget or premium tyres; the winter requirements are explained by CSDD.
