About This Tire

The Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ 205/50R17 is a winter tire, designed for compact and mid-size car drivers who prioritize cold-weather traction and handling performance in seasonal conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on snow and ice grip while maintaining responsive handling characteristics on cleared winter roads.

This tire features Vredestein's winter-specific compound technology and directional tread pattern engineered for maximum traction in temperatures below 45Β°F.
