About This Tire

The Vredestein Hypertrac All Season 235/50R18 is an ultra high performance all-season tire, designed for sports car, coupe, and powerful sedan drivers who prioritize high-speed capability and predictable handling in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and specially-tuned polymer blend compound focus on delivering quick steering response and reliable wet weather evacuation.

The tire features wider outboard tread elements for enhanced dry handling response, while a high void pattern and optimized groove design work to channel water away from the contact patch. Zigzag sipes and additional biting edges are incorporated throughout the tread to improve traction in wet conditions and light snow. Vredestein updated the compound formulation starting in mid-2021 to further enhance wet and snow performance. Driver feedback points to excellent handling in both wet and dry conditions, with strong comfort levels and good long-term treadwear in regular use.

Compared to summer-only performance tires, it adds year-round versatility including light snow capability while maintaining high-speed handling characteristics. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance-oriented vehicles used for spirited driving and daily commuting in varying weather conditions.
