We had to wait quite a long time for this winter, but ultimately we had everything: icing, black ice, snow, slush, rain with snow, -14 degrees frost, blizzards, etc.... and I still don't know what's it like to slip or lose control over the vehicle... These Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme S are perfect :) Perhaps they don't look as spectacular as its predecessor Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme with tread resembling the letter 'W'. They are more common - the tread is more classical, 'V'. Still, the appearance is amazing, and the ISLT system is perfectly in place, which causes that every block in the tread efficently, the Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme S grips the road. I highly recommend these tyres!

I covered only 2000 kilometres with Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme S tyres and I think I can safely say with confidence that it was a good choice, I used to drive Yokohoma good tyres, but I honestly find Vredestain better, especially with regards to the lack of noise at high speeds. These days I tried them on ice and snow - perfect. Concluding, I definitely recommend

Vredestein have all parameters that a winter tyre should have. Snow: like I would drive on dry, similarly on the mud. On the ice you know only spikes but with traction control you can do it. The only thing on the negative of this tyre is that it gives you a strange sound like the ship was heard but after driving a few hundred is much better. The undoubted advantage of this tyre is also the price, a tyre worth every penny I spent on it.

Excellent tyre to use in dry conditions. They don't slip on turns. Behaves appropriately on wet. The car doesn't lose control when turning and you don't have to worry about aquaplanning too soon. When it comes to winter conditions, on a slightly iced road (after a night frost, for instance, I'm not talking about total ice), the Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme S behaves very well and grips wherever it can. Directs slush from beneath tyres efficiently. My concerns are about driving on snow, on a road covered with snow, not salted, in subzero temperatures. It's okay when I drive mildly, but any tighter maneouvres, even in slow, urban speeds ends up with digging snow. Still, details aside, I really recommend the Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme S.

For a few cars and many winter tyres I would classify this somewhere in the middle. Reading the opinions of other users quoting the names of "technology" used in these tyres, I felt a desire to share my feelings. So nothing special, the premium class is far away, but if someone is looking for tires at a reasonable price which works well in our road conditions, I can recommend it.
