Vredestein Quatrac 5 – a universal tire for all-season use, which can be installed on vehicles of various classes. This is due to the release of the model in more than 100 sizes. It is characterized by confident handling in various weather conditions, effective protection against hydroplaning, and an increased mileage period. All of these properties were achieved due to the use of modern materials and advanced modeling technologies.
The tire tread has an asymmetric structure with a pronounced rib structure. In the central and middle zones, there are three ribs, segmented into separate block units with different directions of dividing channels. On some of them, there are numerous lamellas that increase the level of traction properties on wet and slippery asphalt. The channels themselves formed a developed water drainage system, which can maintain the cleanliness of the contact area even with large volumes of water and mud.
To stabilize the vehicle during maneuvering and increase traction properties on a snowy road, "shoulder" zones of a semi-closed type are provided. In combination with sidewalls of increased strength, they minimize tilts during turns and pivots, ensuring full control over the vehicle.
A modern rubber compound is used here, which is characterized by increased adaptation properties to various temperature regimes. This was largely achieved due to siliceous components and a whole package of special additives. Therefore, all elements of the tread, even with sharp changes in ambient temperature, retain their elasticity and elasticity. This has a positive effect on maintaining a high level of traction and adhesion properties, which affects the effectiveness of braking and acceleration.
Main features of Vredestein Quatrac 5:
- versatility of application on cars of various classes;
- a tread with an asymmetric pattern is effective on both dry and wet asphalt, as well as on an icy road;
- stability of driving characteristics is supported by special additives in the compound, which maintain optimal elasticity at various temperature regimes;
- numerous engagement faces and lamellas provide an increased level of fixation of the contact patch on snowy areas
