Vredestein Snowtrac 5 is a premium-grade winter tyre which is suitable for everyday driving in the winter months. It guarantees a premium-level of safety and includes enhanced durability to make it safe and comfortable on any type of surface.
Vredestein Snowtrac 5 uses enhanced lateral grooves on the tread to deliver a comfortable driving experience. The road contact has been enriched due to this design as road contact and cornering is more dynamic and precise. Overall, the responsiveness on any surface is noteworthy.
This tyre uses a directional tread pattern which is defined by the V-shaped grooves which help with the quick and effective removal of water or slush from the tyre. This ensures that aquaplaning and slushplaning danger has been reduced and furthermore the contact surface area has been enlarged too. Stepped longitudinal grooves, ensure that there is maximum control on tricky underlying conditions. Furthermore, it uses central continuous groove mechanism which has small incisions in the centre of the tread to deliver better overall stability.
Vredestein Snowtrac 5reduces sound as much as possible by using stealth technology that offers acoustic comfort and better sound absorption by using a large groove network to channel and filter unwanted sound.
