The Quatrac Pro tire from Vredestein is designed for drivers of various vehicle types who prioritize comfort and performance. It offers excellent grip and handling in both dry and wet conditions, as well as reliable traction in light snow. The Quatrac Pro is suitable for regions that experience all four seasons but do not have heavy snowfall, making it an ideal all-season tire option. This tire features a specialized tread compound made from high-resin and high-silica materials. The tread pattern is designed for different road conditions, with the outboard shoulder and first rib providing excellent traction and precise steering in dry and wet environments. These sections have low void ratio and large, stiff tread blocks. On the other hand, the inboard rib and inside shoulder are optimized for performance in wet and wintry conditions. They have wide circumferential grooves and lateral notches that effectively evacuate water and slush from the contact patch. Additionally, the tread incorporates high-density, winter-focused zigzag sipes, which contribute to the tire's ability to achieve the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF). Internally, the Quatrac Pro tire consists of a single-ply polyester casing supported by two steel belts. This construction provides durability at high speeds while maintaining handling performance. The tire also includes a polyamide reinforcement, which further enhances its handling capabilities. It's important to note that although non-winter tires bearing the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may offer better snow traction than regular all-season tires, they are still not as capable as dedicated winter tires in severe weather conditions. The three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF) is a certification mark found on tires that meet specific winter performance criteria. To receive this symbol, tires must demonstrate adequate traction in snow and ice conditions. It helps drivers in identifying tires that are suitable for use in wintery weather, although it's important to remember that the symbol does not guarantee the same level of performance as dedicated winter tires in all adverse weather conditions.
