The Vredestein Icetrac winter studded tire, produced by a well-known European manufacturer, is perfectly suited for most modern small and medium-sized passenger cars. This model is available in several dozen of the most common sizes, ranging from 155/70R13 to 215/55R16, which allows us to talk about the excellent applicability of this tire.
This tire features a symmetrical directional tread pattern with a V-shaped design. Such a scheme of arrangement of tread elements contributes to the optimal distribution of load on the contact patch, which takes a shape that is as close to square as possible. This provides reliable and stable traction on dry and snowy surfaces. Additionally, the V-shaped pattern is the most effective in terms of providing a short braking distance, which was achieved thanks to the numerous edges of blocks located in the central part of the tread.
To ensure confident behavior on icy surfaces, the optimal arrangement of studs was selected using numerous studies and field tests, which form a 12-row pattern. At the same time, the holes in the tread for installing the studs have a jug-like shape, which minimizes the risk of stud loss throughout the entire service life.
Thanks to the large number of individual blocks, the drainage system of the Vredestein Icetrac tire is highly efficient, which allows it to cope not only with water drainage but also with the removal of meltwater and dirt. This ability significantly improves the tire's passability through deep snow.
