Vredestein Snowtrac 5

Winter tire for passenger cars Vredestein Snowtrac 5 is positioned by the European manufacturer as "intermediate", representing a universal model, effective primarily on wet and snowy surfaces. In such conditions, it stands out for its directional stability and reliability of handling, increased traction and braking properties, quiet and smooth ride, fuel efficiency.

The tread pattern is distinguished by a large number of elongated V-shaped edges of blocks. This noticeably increases traction and braking properties on snowy surfaces, while providing reduced rolling resistance and a slower process of abrasive wear. Due to their location and shape, the blocks partially overlap each other in the central part of the tread, actually forming a continuous longitudinal rib. This has a positive effect on directional stability and handling accuracy, especially when driving at high speeds. The next important feature of the tread pattern is the high density of lamella cuts. Numerous slits create thousands of differently directed sharp edges, thanks to which the tire even on the most slippery winter surface demonstrates high reliability of handling. It is worth noting the presence of rectangular cavities in the shoulder blocks. These elements additionally increase the traction properties of the tire on snow.

Key features of Vredestein Snowtrac 5:
- W-shaped drainage grooves provide high resistance to aquaplaning, maintaining this ability even with a large mileage;
- numerous 3D lamellas with "activators" create hundreds of differently directed sharp edges in the contact patch, increasing traction and adhesion properties on the most slippery winter surfaces;
- the arrangement of blocks in the center of the tread with partial overlap of each other increases directional stability, reduces wear and rolling resistance;
- special rectangular cavities in the shoulder blocks increase traction properties on snowy surfaces
