Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
83/100From 31 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
72/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 31 owner reviews found online.
The Vredestein Wintrac Pro is widely regarded as a high-performance winter tire that bridges the gap between dedicated winter traction and the handling characteristics of a summer tire. Users consistently praise its exceptional wet-weather performance, steering feedback, and stability at high speeds, making it a favorite for owners of performance-oriented vehicles.
Pros
- Exceptional wet-weather grip and aquaplaning resistance
- High-speed stability and responsive steering feedback
- Strong performance in cold, dry conditions
- Excellent value for money compared to premium competitors
- Predictable handling and confidence-inspiring snow traction
Cons
- Noticeable increase in fuel consumption/rolling resistance
- Potential for accelerated tread wear if used in warmer temperatures
- Occasional reports of noise or 'squealing' during hard cornering in dry conditions
- Some users noted reduced traction when starting from a standstill on deep snow
Worth knowing
- Performance sedan and coupe owners (e.g., BMW M-series, Audi S-series) report the tire maintains a 'summer-like' handling feel while providing necessary winter safety.
- Heavy vehicle owners (SUVs/Vans) report mixed results; while some appreciate the stability, others noted uneven wear patterns or reduced cornering precision on heavy commercial chassis.
- Drivers of high-horsepower RWD vehicles specifically highlight the tire's ability to manage torque and minimize wheelspin in cold conditions.

About the Vredestein Wintrac Pro
Our 2021 write-up. The scores and test results above are updated as new tests and reviews come in.
The Vredestein Wintrac Pro is a 2018 winter car tire with a directional tread design that was created with Italian design house Giugiaro for use on high-performance passenger cars.
Better than before
The Vredestein Wintrac Pro tires replace the 2013 Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme S model. Internal tests of the manufacturer showed that in the size 225/50 R17 98V XL the new product of the winter season 2018/2019 surpasses its predecessor in a number of parameters. Thus, the handling on snow became 15% better, and the braking efficiency on wet surfaces was improved by 10%. In addition, the speed index Y (up to 186 mph) has become available for many sizes of the model range.
Wintrac Pro Tread design
The Wintrac Pro features an optimized tread pattern with deep, centrally converging grooves and three-dimensional sipes that stabilize the tire's behavior on snow, especially when cornering. Horizontal sipes in the center of the tread improve directional stability and acceleration, as well as reducing braking distances.
The Vredestein Wintrac Pro's wide tread creates a stable flat contact patch with the road surface, which is very important under high loads.
Special polymers and high silica content in the tread compound improve handling and braking on wet pavement, snow, and ice.
The Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake (3PMSF) pictogram ensures that the Vredestein Wintrac Pro's performance meets acceptable requirements for use on snowy roads.
