πŸ’‘ Is the Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ 255/55R18 a Good Tire?

The Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ 255/55R18 is a winter tire designed for mid-size SUVs and crossovers. It delivers strong snow and ice traction with reliable wet performance thanks to its directional tread pattern and specialized winter compound. Ride comfort is good with moderate road noise, though tread life is shorter than all-season alternatives due to the softer winter rubber compound. Rated 3.5/5 by TirePath editors, it provides excellent cold-weather safety but requires seasonal changeover and storage during warmer months. Currently priced from $210.22, it is available through major online tire retailers.

About This Tire

The Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ 255/55R18 is a winter tire, designed for SUV and crossover drivers who prioritize cold-weather traction and reliable performance in snow and ice conditions. Its specialized winter compound and tread design focus on maintaining flexibility in low temperatures while providing enhanced grip on slippery surfaces.

This tire features Vredestein's winter-specific rubber compound that stays pliable in freezing temperatures, combined with directional tread patterns engineered for snow evacuation and ice traction. The 255/55R18 sizing fits popular mid-size SUVs and crossovers, offering a balance of contact patch and sidewall height for winter driving stability. Currently, driver evaluation data is limited, so real-world performance feedback is still developing for this model.
